Onward, men! Full sails to the horizon! On my oath, we'll make it to Ikeland by morning!

Oh, there will be Ikes as far as the eye can see, I tell you! Tall Ikes, short Ikes, God-fearing Ikes! Our coffers will overflow with the abundance of Ikes!

You who would doubt me, who would claim the impossibility of such a paradise, you cowards who hide from ambition and surround yourselves with the petty offerings of Steve Island or David Cove, why you would not know how to handle the Ikes of Ikeland!

But I am a man of greater mettle, and I will know this new land.

Raise the anchor. The Ikes await.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

In Ireland it's Éire, while Iceland is An Íoslainn, so it doesn't really work 😕

You guys eat licorice willingly, I don't think you have a (missing IKEA) leg to stand on.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What do you have against licorice?! (also American licorice is crap) Try this:

LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW - Læmon - 10.4 OZ - Soft Licorice Swirled in Luscious White Lemon Chocolate, Cream and Vanilla https://a.co/d/9bCxy5A

Just teasing, I know (and love the passionfruit) Ladkris but you tend to give foreigners Djungelvrals lmao.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Djungelvrål are delicious!

For a people who fetishize both bacon and capsaicin, Americans sure seem scared of the strong stuff when it comes to salty liquorice 😄
