Their <a href="/title/greatest+hit">greatest hit</a> is a a track titled <a href="/title/LOPETA">LOPETA</a> which is literally what I'd like them to do. The band consists of Noora and Tuuli + some other <a href="/title/ass+sucker">ass sucker</a>s and they'll probably die horribly due to <a href="/title/drugs">drugs</a>, <a href="/title/alcohol">alcohol</a>, <a href="/title/Finlandia+Vodka">Finlandia Vodka</a> or an attack by the <a href="/title/Arabuusimiehet">Arabuusimiehet</a> Industries.</p>Military service in Finland (thing)http://everything2.com/user/Rexx/writeups/Military+service+in+FinlandRexxhttp://everything2.com/user/Rexx2000-03-23T14:30:23Z2000-03-23T14:30:23Z<p>it just <a href="/title/sucks">sucks</a>.

There was also a huge <a href="/title/forest+fire">forest fire</a> and other horrible things and all this happened during the summer of '99. I'm glad I moved.</p>
