[SIZE="5"]Fjuckby name stays the same[/SIZE]

The pilloried residents of Fjuckby have been left with little option but to endure their village's unfortunate name after the Institute of Language and Folklore rejected calls for a name change.

Fjuckby is saddled with the dual misfortune of containing both the rude Swedish word 'juck' and its more internationally recognisable English equivalent.

Consequently, a delegation of residents applied in December off last year to have name Fjukeby reinstated. This variant, considerably more genteel than its successor, was in common usage until the 1930s.
"There should not be any doubt at all that, as a result of relatively new associations, the pronunciation and spelling of the place name 'Fjuckby', today arouses ridicule, teasing and hilarity in the general public," wrote inhabitant Katriina Flensburg on behalf of her fellow villagers.

"This regrettable fact engenders feelings of weariness, embarrassment and conditioned shame among villagers, who are often forced against their will to take a tiresome 'defensive stance' with regard to the name of their home town," the letter continued.

Fjuckby is home to just 60 people, but the Institute of Language and Folklore deemed that the 15 who favour Fjukeby were not representative of the population as a whole.

"The proposal for a name change does not have sufficient support from the inhabitants of the village," spokesman Leif Nilsson told SVT.

Speaking to The Local, Katriina Flensburg says that she has not yet received any official notification that the residents' application has been turned down.

"If this is true, then ok, I'm not going to stand on the barricades or anything. It was a good try.

"But I am interested in finding out what they did to investigate this. Did they conduct a survey of the 200 people who own properties in Fjuckby or did they just ask a few of the 60 people who live here?" said Flensburg.

While stressing that "this is not a big deal", Flensburg explains that she had not anticipated much resistance, as the name Fjukeby is "pretty and nice".

Both names translate roughly as 'Windy Village'.

Funny email exchange I had today.I help run my softball team with a friend and we've been scrambling for players as some players just had kid's etc.. So anyway I talk to a guy last week and he tells me he's definitly in and looking forward to it.He's a nice guy, ex marine and a good third basemen but he's quitting because he feels he gets picked on by the other players which sounds like 3rd grade shit.Keep in mind I'm not even the guy who got under his skin so imagine the team of assholes we've assembled.These emails went out to about a dozen people.

3B-This notice should give you ample time to find my replacement. I enjoyed it folks, but it's a bit too time-consuming and degrading. Good luck Car Bombs.

GM\SS\BIRD33-Ample time? 4 weeks to find someone when you know we're short players already? Let me guess someone finally came to the realization that they won't be screwing any of the female members on the team and figured why waste your time. If you hadn't told us to our faces that you were in all these months I wouldn't care but this is chickenshit. Now that I think about it I shouldn't have expected less. Fuck off.

3B-If you want to say all of that to my face, we can talk pal. You have no respect for your teammates. I'm sure you sent the same message to the So & So's you pussy

GM\SS\BIRD33-I'll say whatever you want to your face because what I wrote in the email is the fucking truth. When the So & So's asked me to join their team my exact words to them face to face was "I can't dick the team over like that" so I guess you're incorrect about that. I respect my teammates enough to not bail on them right before the season starts especially when I know they're short players and I've been telling them for months I was in.

I could really give two shits if you stay or go at this point but don't expect me to swallow your bullshit when I was told the reason you gave for quitting was "he said he got to the point in his life where he realized that he can't do what people want him to do all the time", like we forced you to play in the first place. If you think I'm the only person on the team who thinks the way I do you're crazy. If you have a problem with any of this you know where to find me.

I'm pretty sure he'll want to fight me next time I see him.

Youre right, that does sound very 3rd grade.

Also, your spacing and punctuation is much better in email.

Update....Here's the guys response to my email.I will run into him at a bar and we will probably end up throwing punches.

I apologize for "screwing" the team over, but as far as I knew no one was really ever happy with the way I played, I can't take your arrogance and have a hard time playing a game when I could be spending more quality time with my daughter(whom I only see four days a month). As far as I'm concerned this drama bs is over between us. If you really want to see where this veteran is in his life, come check it out. Just remeber, there's a risk you might get beat by a guy you helped pay to train. You are a gambler though, aren't you BIRD?

Wait--Bird's an asshole in real life???
