Those two guys speak like that in the movie Airplane.
Leeza: It might be a port city or close to the Black sea. Near Poti maybe. I'd have to check again though, but I've read about it in a book. It is a very small town, and EVERYONE is Russian Orthodox. Ok, this was all off topic.
EDIT: Ok, there's a map and I was wrong.
Fo shizzle, my nizzle.
My mom's family always switches up the languages they speak whenever they converse. They go back and forth between English and Spanish, and sometimes ask me if I understand what they're saying. More often than not, I don't.
Kola is the peninsula northeast of Finland. Norway and the Soviets didn't use to have a land-border before the wars cause we had another arm there, called the Petsamo area known for its mines. Murmansk is pretty close to that area.
Yes, Mother Finland's left arm is still missing 'cause Russia stole it.

No, MAIDEN Finland. >:O Sweden is the old crone, Moder Svea. *_*
Oh yeah, that hag. ;-)

What's Norway? Anyone know? I know England is that funny Bull-guy, and I guess the US is Sam, but what is Norway? Oh yeah, and Ireland is the harp, right? There must be some list on the net or something.
EDIT:
Wikipedia to the rescue! Blast, it only gives the lion as Finland's symbol.

Make your own forums about how great Finland is and I'll join, just stop talking about it here.
Oh yeah, Yama is a Knight now-a-days.
I tend not to switch languages when I speak with people, except if it's someone I know who knows swedish but of who I am not sure whether he or she prefers swedish. Here, have a chart:

I listen to it. I speak it occasionally, just for fun. I have no problem with it
There's this girl at my school who speaks some Japanese and tries to have conversations with me and others in that language, when she knows we don't speak any of it. I think that's impolite and annoying. I don't mind language-switching, as long as everyone involved in the conversation can understand it.
I wish I spoke other languages besides English. I really want to become fluent in Spanish, but the language department at my school isn't that great and it's going very slowly. I also dislike my teacher, and that doesn't help. =\ And I like ebonics.
I don't mind, provided I can understand it.
Sometimes, when I talk to my old German teacher, she speaks in German and I respond in English. Mostly because I'm too lazy to think of the German words. *nods*
There's a girl at my school who does that, mixing english with spanish, and I have no idea what she's saying half of the time. I don't mind it though.
Mugwumps, hi-jumps, low slumps, big bumps
I can tolerate some ebonics to an extent. When people take it to the extreme, that's when I get annoyed. I have to cope with ebonics for an entire 45 minutes in my chemistry class and it drives me insane.
Everyone In my family has spoken english for hundreds of years. We don't speak anything else.
