WTF Are People Saying
Kez on Geek House The-Lord-Weird-Sloug… on Heard of a Grass Skirt? This I… CaptainFluttershy on Nimoy Baggins Webb Pierce fan on Epic Moon Fight Recurve on Thirsty?
Kill! Kill!
OMG
Medo!
… maybe breaking the ice… or… his clothes got sucked under and… um..
there must be… some… reason.
Nope. it’s just mental.
It’s simple. Here in Sweden (and in Finland AFAIK) this is what you do when the whole in the ice is too small. It’s about sauna, of course, and nobody does that wearing clothes. That’s why it’s out in the woods.
I prefer Thomas’ explanation.
Damn, don’t miss.
T’is the reason. No METH. They want to swim in the ice — considered borderline normal in the Nordic countries. He’s just axing the ice away to make a lap. All good, clean fun.
wouldn’t he freeze his nutty buddys off….jus sayin… :/
gives a new meaning to blue balls…
You boys have obviously missed the beauty of the Swedish/Finnish cultures and I get the feeling you would be amazed or weirded out by a lot of things we would consider normal. Don’t get me wrong, this might be the best site on the internets, but a lot off what’s funny about a lot of the pictures is in the fact you regard them from western eyes, I don’t find this picture even the least weird, I wonder if there’s a person for every picture who can say that? Like; “Oh, giant isopods, I used to play with those when I was young”.
I have a question. Since when were Sweden and Finland NOT western countries? Or did they move to Asia after my great-grandparents left?
Theeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!
Alison & Debus where are you when I need you?
@Rein
I regarded this pic witn one Western and one Eastern eye, then I turned around….
Lighten up already!
If there’s someone who used to play with giant isopods when they were young I REALLY wanna know where they grew up (so I can go there.)
Sure his new obsession seems odd, but look how much weight he’s lost since he stopped playing piano on the hog.
@5010
You’d think he’d have excess skin, after such a dramatic weight loss…
a good skill is looking at something normall and seeing how weird it is. i try look at my country through the eyes of someone else and its bloody hilarious
You have a very healthy viewpoint. The whole world is WTF to someone, somewhere.
If you’re American I guess that’s easy, but you’re right. All countrys have batshit fucking loco traditions, cultures or history.
Okay, i did the naked sauna thing in russia, but I still wouldn’t have chopped the ice nekkid, i’d put on gloves
The sauna was fantastic though BTW
@Rein completely agreed
He’s icefishing: axe to make a hole, tackle to bait the fish.
@Rein
Very true. Anyone who denies it is, well, in denial.
Why this crappy picture?
It was in good quality here:

I see this through the eyes of an English girl with Finnish connections. My boyfriend is a Finn, I’ve done the whole sauna thing. Even stood in a freezing cold lake while I had the water hurled over me.
This doesn’t seem strange to me, just one other guy doing his thing, basically!
Actually, just to the left out of the frame a dog has broken through the thin ice, and my brother is breaking the ice towards him for rescue. It was a warm day, so he left his clothes on shore to remain dry.
Well to be quite honest about it all, it wasn’t a dog. It was really a sheep that broke through the ice. It was my my brother’s favorite sheep, and it broke free and ran out onto the ice as he was frolicking with her on shore. Everything turned out fine, and he rescued her from the water shortly after the photo.
He took her into his cabin for the rest of the day to keep her warm so she wouldn’t catch cold.
The Normals are distressed again.
Thanks for the link! The Harbin ice sculpture is amazing.
I hope that guy is ok…
@person
He’s fine apart from his Snow-balls…
@arny moose
Don’t forget his carrotstick
@blåbär
What about his Iceticles!
you see I just dangle this in the water and when they come up I AXE’em!!!
Sorry, I’m just taking it all in right now.
A completely naked old man is surprisingly not a gross as I thought it would be!
He must wear shorts in the Summer a lot. Check out his tan lines. His hiney is as white as the snow!
Ice, ice, baby! I guess that’s one way to get fresh fish in the winter.
@Allison
I knew I could count on you!
Heres a new angle….change ‘tan lines’ to ‘tide marks’?
or
he used so much bubble bath it formed a crust…
Doesn’t he know. You’re supposed to dry clean woolens.
@Allison
I think it’s not so gross only because he’s in fantastic shape.
I hate when these pictures get explained…
Good point.
Ehibit A: Old naked man chopping ice.
Ehibit B: Old naked man playing piano on a sidecar motorcycle.
Shrinkage! it was SHRINKAGE!!!!
That’s because it’s phootoooshopped.
But still, somewhere out there there’s a picture of a old naked guy cutting something with an axe. So WTF anyway.
read your national geographic!!! “Naked on an 18 F day, Valentsin Tolkavetch clears an icy canal for swimming. The 69-year-old started the Optimalists – a Minsk-based club with 200-some members-in 1989 to promote hale activites in rural settings.”
Which issue was this in?
Captain Ahab, in his older days, would run down to the newly frozen river and attempt to kill the fish thinking they were the white whale.
Saw it in the paper. Hes axeing the ice to go swimming. It’s part of some sort of religious thing.
dern kids… back in my day we didnt have fancy fishing pole thing-a-ma-jiggers. if we wanted to fish we had to use an axe. and we even did it in three feet of snow!
Maybe he’s looking for the cure for Alzheimer’s.
@NJ – YES! YES! YES! I SAW IT TOO! w00t NG for the win.
this is totally normal if you want to have a great immune system
