Should he not talk something like Yoda, for to always remind us that he is Danish? By the way I feel compelled at every opportunity to remind people of Denmark’s greatest contribution to world literature, condensing the phrase “shove it diagonally up your rectum” into seven letters (skråt op).
After looking up that phrase on Google Translate and finding that it simply means “diagonally up,” I feel the phrase is more akin to “Up yours” in terms of denotation vs. connotation
So thats it? Funkiness undone by the Most Interesting Man in the World?
Chris, only ‘The Man’ gives trophies like that! You think Unity would have been impressed? That Nick or Bubbles or Dr. Lee or Moustachio would kiss his rear?
(Its a given that Tip and Sweetheart would have…and maybe Dr. Lee)
I don’t know, being able to summon the trophy out of thin air is probably worth some points. Also, it’s a trophy for badass flamethrowing, probably the only type of trophy Unity would acknowledge.
If you go to the effort of cloning dinosaurs just to assassinate them with a flamethrower, that’s worth some serious Mad points.
If you assassinate someone *else’s* cloned dinosaurs, that’s got to be worth even more…
And if they’re “assassinated” rather than “killed,” that implies a certain amount of sapience. So, most intelligent dinosaurs murdered with a flamethrower…
To be honest, I’m not all that impressed:
1. He probably only had to kill one dinosaur to kill the “most”.
2. Plenty of dinosaurs were small, inoffensive creatures, and all were juveniles at some point – for all we know he left a dinosaur egg on an oven range.
3. If killing endangered species with violent tools is your thing there’s surely an industry executive who’s killed the most snail darters with dynamite and a timber guy who’s killed the most spotted owls with chainsaws…
Modern birds are definitely dinosaurs. The funny thing is that, since “bird” is Linnaean taxonomy, not cladistic, it is outdated an rather arbitrary. If, to make bird a proper cladistic term, we define “bird” as “all descendants of the earliest creature to have protofeathers”, then all pterosaurs and all dinosaurs are birds.
also since the trophy is so specific its safe to assume that a) someone has assassinated more dinosaurs than him using non flamethrower methods and b) someone has killed more dinosaurs with a flamethrower than him in a non contracted manner. still an awesome trophy but not that impresive.
It’s like pancakes, but in little spheres instead of discs.
Basically the same dough, but then you apply either flat dough theory or round dough theory to come up with either :3
Exactly. Those so called “pancake puffs” (though the batter should be more like waffle batter) are just American appropriations of traditional Scandinavian cooking.
My grandmother used to make them, and now I do occasionally for my kids.
Æbleskiver (it’s plural) are very popular around christmas. The name means ‘slices of apple’, witch is wierd because they usually doesn’t contain apple, but historians assures us they did, hundreds of years ago.
Are you seriously suggesting that Unity would have followed the rules of the competition well enough to win a trophy?
No, The Dane would have followed the rules, set a verified record, had an interview crew waiting at the awards ceremony and finished the evening by defeating the Most Interesting Man in the World in a bar bet challenge.
assassination requires you to be contracted to kill a specific individual which really isn’t unitys style shes probably killed more dinosaurs with a flamethrower though.
Lord Flashheart arrives.
She’s got a tongue like an electric eel, and she likes the taste of a man’s tonsils!

Call of Duty: Skråt Ops
I think my brother plays that.
After looking up that phrase on Google Translate and finding that it simply means “diagonally up,” I feel the phrase is more akin to “Up yours” in terms of denotation vs. connotation
You’re right, it is like “up yours” but I prefer the precision. Also, it’s been 20 years so for all I know it might be unhip by now.
Come on Chris! Is Captain Beyond going to take that?
Bash his skull in with his own trophy while he’s distracted by the makings out!
Preferably *before* that point.
*æbleskiver
Maybe this guy has a swear filter, too.
Nope, æbleskiver is a thing. Popular in Danmark. Common among the Scandinavian diaspora. Rare outside of those.
And in the singular it should be *en æbleskiv*
Actually, no.
It’s “en æbleskive”.
On top of that, grammatically it’d be “my æbleskive”.
Not sure why he’s pick that, though. It wouldn’t be considered a cute saying here in Denmark.
Æbleskiver! Mmm, yummy!
So thats it? Funkiness undone by the Most Interesting Man in the World?

I don’t know about the pasty white Kobe of mad sex appeal facing funky Michael Jordan. He might walk away with a sexy tie, but he can’t win.
I think Unity would be jealous, and would immediately set about breaking his record.

You could also just light a bunch of pigeons or backwards-swooping owls on fire.

2a. According to cladistics, birds count as dinosaurs. Dude totally just incinerated a bunch of wrens.
Or worked at a KFC for a while…
(…er, a KFC where they…killed the chickens on-site?)

*and
There Is No Such Thing As A Fish.
Are there any flight adaptations found in modern dinosaurs but not in pterosaurs that we could use as a mark of birdness?
also since the trophy is so specific its safe to assume that a) someone has assassinated more dinosaurs than him using non flamethrower methods and b) someone has killed more dinosaurs with a flamethrower than him in a non contracted manner. still an awesome trophy but not that impresive.
Don’t tell Unity that there’s a contest involving flamethrowers or Gentle Persuasion will get a serious workout.
I seriously had no idea what an ‘aebleskiver’ was, but somehow I guessed it was a pastry or something
It’s like pancakes, but in little spheres instead of discs.
Basically the same dough, but then you apply either flat dough theory or round dough theory to come up with either :3
So the stuff that comes out of the Pancake Puff pan I got a while back, or is there more nuance?
Exactly. Those so called “pancake puffs” (though the batter should be more like waffle batter) are just American appropriations of traditional Scandinavian cooking.

Æbleskiver (it’s plural) are very popular around christmas. The name means ‘slices of apple’, witch is wierd because they usually doesn’t contain apple, but historians assures us they did, hundreds of years ago.
It’s like takoyaki with apple instead of the tako (octopus).
Or like batata vada without the batata?
(I’ve never had takoyaki, but your comparision made sense to me thanks to Ranma1/2….)
Back to the coffeeshop for you, Chris…
(to “Peace Train,” Cat Stevens…)
Now I’ve been happy lately
Thinking about the victory to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
I’ve been smiling lately
Dreaming of irradiation
And I believe it could be
Something’s begun to hum
For in from the edge of darkness
Here comes a Great Dane
Great Dane, leave this contest
Help me be cool again
Great Dane, blazin’ saber…
Fie on the Great Dane!
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Go on, Great Dane!
Great Dane’s a groovy Lupin
Everyone hot for the Great Dane!
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
This is the Great Dane
Get your æbleskiver
Come bring your rødgrøds too
Because he’s getting nearer
He’ll take your turn from you!
Peep his jive-ass trophy
For torching animals
Sounds like one awarded
By ol’ King Radical!
Great Dane, sjette i køen
Vie against the Great Dane!
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Go on, Great Dane!
I’ve been shying lately
Why must I agree with this dude?
No more Chris the Nice Guy!
Captain Beyond is rude!
Makeouts on the edge of darkness
I despise the Great Dane
Great Dane takes my woman
Gotta take her back again!
Great Dane, rollin’ Romeo
Fie on the Great Dane!
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Go on, Great Dane!
Go on, go on, go on, Great Dane!
Great!
Oh, “sixth in line.” This is quite wonderful.
Surely this guy couldn’t have assassinated more dinosaurs with a flamethrower than Unity with Gentle Persuasion…
Are you seriously suggesting that Unity would have followed the rules of the competition well enough to win a trophy?
No, The Dane would have followed the rules, set a verified record, had an interview crew waiting at the awards ceremony and finished the evening by defeating the Most Interesting Man in the World in a bar bet challenge.
The Dane vs Unity in a Flame Off is something I’d like to see.
But not within range.
I’m wondering where The Dane would get access to a time machine: We know where Unity can get one. Or are we talking chickens?
Could be genetically engineered dinosaurs created by some other Mad.
assassination requires you to be contracted to kill a specific individual which really isn’t unitys style shes probably killed more dinosaurs with a flamethrower though.
I wonder if even tip could out mojo the guy
Or Tigerlily.
The Dane; The second most interesting man alive. He doesn’t often drink beer, but when he does it’s with Æbelskivers!
Who gives out trophies like that? It’s not like there’s an organization . . . never mind, there probably is.
And Anasigma has infiltrated agents into it for whatever reason.
The Dane should be careful; dragons have been brought low by the right Æbleskiver.

That trophy would give him the right to arrive on a time-traveling motorcycle, but not to steal a numbered ping-pong ball.
