10 Photos Of Norway’s Fairy Tale Architecture

Norway started out as a kingdom in 872 and has existed ever since. It has also saved quite a bit of its traditional architecture. Traditional Norwegian architecture makes it look like a land out of a fairytale. Stave churches – so named because of the Norse words for their load-bearing poles – were extremely popular back in the 12th century, and their unique shape matched with all-wooden construction make is simply spectacular.

Norvegian vernacular (as in, built to local requirements and using local materials) architecture is wonderful. Moss and even trees grow on the roofs of wooden or stone buildings, making Norway a sort of Norse Shire. Have a look, and plan your next holiday accordingly!

How to Cast Young Han Solo

All right Disney, listen up:

1) Forget casting some charisma-free, milquetoast professional actor. 

2) Get in your car, and start driving around LA construction sites. 

3) Find the hottest guy there hammering nails.

4) Ask if he wants to be an actor.

5) If he shrugs and says, “Yeah, sure, I guess.”

6) CAST HIM

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us at SF Sketchfest! We had a blast, as always. Thanks to everyone at the Brava Theater, all of the SFSF support team, and to Dave, Cole, and Janet for inviting us back. Thanks to our excellent band, Jordan Katz and Philip Krohnengold.

Thanks to Ben Acker & Ben Blacker for writing and producing the show.

Thanks to the brilliant WorkJuice Players in attendance: Marc Evan Jackson, Mark Gagliardi, Hal Lublin, Busy Philipps, John Hodgman, Paul F. Tompkins, Joshua Malina, Janet Varney, and Paget Brewster. And thanks to our wonderful guests: Rhett Miller, John Ross Bowie, John Roderick, and Adam Savage.

We don’t have any more live shows scheduled this year, but you never know what’ll pop up! Be sure to get on our mailing list to find out first.

[call-me-cordelia]

We had an amazing time! Hopefully there’ll be more in 2016...

Acker & Blacker love David Bowie, and “Life On Mars” has, since they created Sparks Nevada, had special resonance. They always wanted to work it into a show but, until this past weekend at SF Sketchfest, had been unable.

In addition to being a brilliant songwriter and singer, Rhett Miller is a wonderful interpreter of songs. Acker & Blacker were thrilled when Rhett agreed to pay tribute to Bowie, whom all of of them hold dear as a creative inspiration. All of us are heartbroken that this tribute now also serves as a memorial.

For all of the ways he inspired us, drove us to never shy from the unusual, and find our own voices, we won’t ever be able to thank him enough.

Rhett is backed beautifully by Jordan Katz and Philip Krohnengold.

white dude in this horror movie : *translates old arabic text* *somehow it rhymes perfectly in english* 

[how-long-it-glows-deactivated20]

Now I really wanna see a horrible faltering translation from one of these movies, like “Whomsoever enters this room, they shall… well, this word is like… literally it means ‘unbecome,’ but it was used as a euphemism for death, pooping, and—wait, when was this carved?  was it 15th century? Cuz it was a euphemism for sex too in the 15th century.  This is either a cursed crypt, a bathroom, or a royal bedroom. Who wants to roll the dice?”

[kiddthemaniac]

“You guys, I’ve gotta be honest, okay? This thing’s written in some kind of weird localized dialect, and I’ve only ever studied the standard form of the language. I mean, this part right here…I can’t even tell if it’s some kind of error, or an obscure slang phrase…whatever it is, I have no idea what the fuck it means.”

[roachpatrol]

‘this is written in ancient sumerian. it’s about… uh… well that word is… uh. okay this is either a poem about farming, or straight-up a nasty sex guide. it might be both. i want a shower.’

[lizawithazed]

“okay see the thing is in one dialect this word is the name of a terrifying Demon but in a completely different language from the same area that has the same writing system and gave a lot of loan words to the first, it means ‘horse’ - and the context is really not helping”

[seananmcguire]

“You know what?  This thing is bound in human skin and the walls are bleeding let’s just leave.”
