Fuglesang FAIL

Just as always, SUPERBLOG!! top enemy, would-be astronaut Christer Fuglesang AKA Birdsong, has been thwarted by the weather:

Fuglesang was scheduled to join the crew on the Discovery's voyage into space on Tuesday morning but Nasa announced earlier today that a decision had been taken to put off the launch.

Weather is, of course, controlled by God. You might expect Fuglesang to take a hint and remain on the ground. But will he? No. Like a modern-day Icarus, Birdsong continues to attempt to reach the stars, thereby showing his utter contempt for life here on Earth. The Greeks called it hubris, but SUPERBLOG!! calls it FAIL.

Countdown to FUN +/-0!

Fun? Fun! Now let's all sing "Balladen om Astrosmurf" from the classic album Klasse i Smurflandet. Here are the lyrics:

Åh Astrosmurf, åh Astrosmurf
Rymden är så stor
Åh Astrosmurf, åh Astrosmurf
Större än du nånsin tror

I det Glömda landet kommer man ihåg
en gång en smurf mot yttre rymden såg
Han gav sig smurfen på att nå en ny planet
och la ner en massa jobb på en raket

Åh Astrosmurf...

Och smurfarna kom dit från alla håll
Han tog farväl och räkna ner till noll
Han hade tänkt att vara borta flera dar
men hur han än försökte stod raketen kvar

Åh Astrosmurf...

Men Gammelsmurf begrep att hans maskin
väl inte flög så bra som den var fin
Så han bad alla lägga manken till och vips
fick Astrosmurfen lift till himlakroppen Schvips

Åh Astrosmurf...

Och efter ganska många om och men
så kom han dit och sedan hem igen
Och därav ser man ju att hjälper vi varann
så finns det en och annan dröm som kan bli sann

Åh Astrosmurf...

CHRISTMAS IS RUINED

SUPERBLOG!! Entry No. 900. Yeah, there's been a lot of nonsensical and unamusing posts on SUPERBLOG!! recently and Pol Pot Week was a miserable failure and even Christer Fuglesang defied us by not only managing to get off-planet but, against all odds, actually returning safely from space, apparently only slightly brain-damaged. What a blow for SUPERBLOG!!'s staff, who had repeatedly predicted his downfall.

Having said that, I vow to make SUPERBLOG!! great again!! Starting tomorrow. Or maybe next week.

But for now, here's a list of crappy Christmas comedies you can see. Here's another such list. And here's Jimmy Olsen, Dick Hunter. And here's our good friend Dr Light, obsessed with rape it seems.

Laterz, Xmas haterz.

Birdsong Earthbound Loser

Sweden's largest tabloid, The Daily Communist, reports that Christer Fuglesang, would-be astronaut, has once again been thwarted in his pathetic and ill-conceived attempts to leave Mother Earth. The stated reason: Fuglesang is simply too gay for space. And also the clouds are his enemy. (Which incidentally means that THE CLOUDS ARE SUPERBLOG!!'S FRIENDS. Shout it from the rooftops.)

A little known fact about Fuglesang: his name is an ancient Swedish word that means "Birdsong". As if birds could survive in space! How stupid!

P.S. SUPERBLOG!! has written about Mr Birdsong several times before but I refuse to provide links, on ethical grounds.

SUPERBLOG!!: Anti-Fuglesang, Anti-Stupid, Anti-Space

Space vs Tenerife

This be corny Christer. He's about to become first Swede in Space and I'm about to be the billion'th Swede on the sunny island of Tenerife. I go there any day now and I've heard that Tenerife is a blog free zone meaning you shouldn't expect anything from me. Biznis as usual that is.

In the thick of a complicated series of tasks to rewire the station - hopefully without serious interruption to the resident crew aboard - will be Sweden's first astronaut, Christer Fuglesang.

Fuglesang said he hoped his flight would inspire Swedes to become more involved in the space programme and encourage young people to study engineering and science.

Most likely he'll get drunk and fuck up the space station and they will push his ass into outer space and everybody will curse his name. Or he'll somehow save the day with a rod.

SUPERBLOG!!: We know how to make boomerangs that come back.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's one fucking lank you will go check out. Do it now!!

Meatballs versus Spaceballs

The Swedish National Space Board are planning for Sweden's first manned mission to outer space. Okay, that might be a lie but it might also be true! Honestly, I don't know how the Swedish space endeavours will end but they sure are making progress in Stockholm.

Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Solna near Stockholm have a long experience in physiology research in microgravity and hypergravity (a human centrifuge is situated on the premises).
A group under leadership of Dag Linnarsson is studying the effects of gravity on the function of lungs and the cardiovascular system. A group led by Per Tesch is developing excersice equipment to counteract loss of muscle mass and bone minerals during prolonged spaceflight.

How funky is this?! People are spinning around like crazy and they are designing friggin' exercise bikes for space use!! Hopefully Swedish spaceball de luxe Christer Fuglesang will be the commander in chief. (Of the space ship, not the centrifuge.)

Superblog 2!! The Final Frontier

It's hero time at Superblog 2!!! Apart from gay bashing and cooperating with nazis we Swedes are very busy with exploring the outer space or at least one of us is. His name is Christer Fuglesang (Christer Birdsong) and one day he will be exploring outer space from the space!! He's been quite famous in Sweden over a decade for being very near actual space experience. Our thoughts are with you Mr Fuglesang! Any day now....

Christer Fuglesang is a member of ESA’s European Astronaut Corps, whose home base is the European Astronaut Center located in Cologne, Germany. He is assigned collateral duties in the NASA-JSC Astronaut Office and most recently was assigned to the ISS Payload Branch. Currently, he is assigned to the crew of STS-116, an assembly and crew-rotation mission to the International Space Station.
