Wow, 2 Iceland threads in one day! I bet some of you Farkers are getting sick of my obligatory "pics I took while living there" posts..


















Bjork is as intelligent as she is eccentric. This is a good thing!

I'll leave the thread now, and await all the "where are the hot Icelandic women?" posts...

All they need to do is triple the price of that weird fermented shark they make there. Everyone loves the stuff, yum!

markie: If anyone complains about those pictures, he should be shot. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

the_pgoat: Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

The pics don't do justice to actually seeing things there first hand. The fall/winter time is REALLY amazing. The long shadows and golden light from the sun being so low on the horizon all day really makes the scenery look magical.

Not effective against an insurgency.

Iceland should sell ice.

problem solved.

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for posting. Always wanted to get to Iceland and haven't as of yet. One of these days....

Bjork is all kinds of awesome.
That is all.

harrich: Iceland should sell ice.

problem solved.

As an Eskimo, I am very interested in this "ice" you offer.

/just had to.
//feel free to hotlink into other threads, ya'll

HAI GUIS WATS GOIN ON IN DIS THREAD?

I know a truck driver from Iceland. He's a cool guy. Oh, and once I met an Icelandic chick in Chile. That is all.

She's like 20%of their GDP, isn't she?

She actually makes some really good points.

I didn't expect such a logical and intelligent answer
from Bjork. Color me wrong.

What's this "Iceland" you speak of? Never heard of it.

Ice sea what you did there.

Markie:
Way cool pics

harrich: Iceland should sell ice.

problem solved.

No, you fool! Then it'd become LandLand. Who wants to live in a place called LandLand!?

Add me to the list of people who are surprised by Bjork's ability to make sense.

She's right. As markie_farkie's pictures show, and as those of you lucky enough to have gone have seen, Iceland is an amazing place. It's also incredibly clean. Considering they power 80% of the country through geothermal energy, and heat most of Reykjavik with the water that comes up through the same boreholes, they could very well turn themselves into a high-tech alternative energy economy. Lord knows the U.S. won't.

"...develop smaller companies that they own themselves and keep the money they earn,"

What? Reading up on Iceland it would appear that it is mostly leftist in ideology. Bjork definately is so. Somehow, I don't think the honestly believes that people should keep what they earn. It should be taken to be used in whatever social/economic/environmental justice endeavors that the people are not smart enough to engage in themselves. Companies are evil and don't you ever forget it.

saw Sugar Cubes, PIL (Public Image Limited) with New Order at Redrock in late 80's, awesome show!

This would be a good time for the UK to get over themselves about importing electricity from Iceland. Building an AC intertie through the Faroes to Scotland would be good for everyone. Maybe the Swedes would pay for it?

Never, they're way better than my trip photos.

Only if they suck, which they clearly do not! Good shootin', pardner!

Traditional thinking in terms of right/left tends to go out the window when your population is less than half a million.

Step 1 build long boats

Step 2 Pillage Canada

Step 3 Profit.

Iceland is already the leader in energy self sufficiency

"Usually I don't notice politics. I live happily in the land of music-making. But I got caught up in it because politicians seem bent on ruining Iceland's natural environment,"

I dont know of hjer plan would work but it cant be ruled out. Surely if sjhe is suggesting this, someone in the government is doing the same. Isolationist Iceland has a nice ring to it.

Lets hope sjhe goes back to music making world sometime soon.

I'm making the swan dress for my Halloween costume. It's not going as well as I had hoped ...

Nightsweat: She's like 20%of their GDP, isn't she?

I wonder what the Wiggles think about the drought in Australia...

Maybe she and Matthew Barney can cover the island in Vaseline and masturbate using dental prosthetics and while naked gnomes dance to the soothing sounds of Agnostic Front. The proceeds from the ensuing film should take care of everything.

/who's your Cremaster now, biatches?

I'd like to Bjork her.

Shouldn't you be somewhere commenting on the genius of the latest Little Green Footballs post?

markie_farkie: I bet some of you Farkers are getting sick of my obligatory "pics I took while living there" posts..

We sure are.

/nice pictures though

please: Bjork is all kinds of awesome.
That is all.

This.

You're retarded

Why do so many people think she's stupid? Odd yes, but albums like Vespertine and Homogenic are hardly top-40 fluff a la Britney.

Wait... you think stories about Icelandic banks are being posted because fark thinks Icelandic banks are important?

sorry palexc...


I meant Benjimin_Dover

Soooo...was this export not delivering?

markie_farkie: I'll leave the thread now, and await all the "where are the hot Icelandic women?" posts...

WHERE ARE THEY!


GT_bike: saw Sugar Cubes, PIL (Public Image Limited) with New Order at Redrock in late 80's, awesome show!

Saw the same show at Summerfest in Milwaukee. It was all good.

I second the pro-Bee York sentiments in this thread.

Can I pre-order this?

Ms. Bjork?
Yes sir?
That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection.
Thank you, your honor.
Overruled.

/I was somewhat impressed.
