There were other Swedish things though, subtle things, that crept into my subconscious and implanted themselves there before I could help myself. Maybe it's the fact that they're just so foreign; my ancestors hailed from various parts of Europe, but there's nary a Viking in my bloodline. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't really care. So here's my list of Swedish stuff that I totally dig.

Thanks for not forgetting the Swedish Bikini Team!
I've been a Swedophile since I was a kid, but I haven't been there, yet. Denmark's as close as I've gotten.
Oh yeah!
I think I may have been Swedish in a past life, because I'm kind of obsessed with the country. I have dreams of someday renting a summer home on some remote Swedish lake, on some Swedish island, and skinny dipping every day. And getting a Swedish massage every day. And eating Swedish lingonberries until I start sprouting a Swedish lingonberry shrub out of my butt. Don't all Swedish people have lingonberry shrubs growing out their butts? I think they do.
My aunt is from Sweden. She is, umm, an interesting character. And that is all I will say about that.
Frank, you're welcome! :) I would love to visit there too. Yesterday spent way too much time looking at pictures after googling "beautiful Sweden."
MLG - your comment made me laugh so hard that a shrub sprouted out of my butt. No, really! Also, I had to google what a lingonberry is, so I feel really, really uncultured right now. I've never eaten one!
Also, you've got rather Swedish coloring in THIS life, blondie, so you being Swedish in a past life doesn't seem too far-fetched. :)
Kate, Hmmmm, intriguing!
Bev-you can find all sorts of lingonberry items at Ikea! And since Ikea is on your list of good Swedish things, I think you need to visit one stat.
