Sex & Shenanigans

Sweden has Guldbagge-galan, where they give out guldbaggar (golden beetles) as awards.

No idea why. But then again why does the oscars have a little man with a sword or whatever?

But... why a golden beetle?
 
In which show? He's amazing in Lost, and he's alright in that show about demons and priests and what-not, but Lost was before Joffrey and his others shows can't hold a candle to The Boys :love:
1) I disagree about the quality of The Boys
2) Isn't it nice that there are things we disagree on? Well, doesn't it at least make it less scary?

Oh yeah that's a fair point. Now people'll be able to tell us apart!

Nope, I acted, directed, edited, and produced part of a project that won an Emmy in 2010. I put it on my resume...
Well that's just fucking incredible 😳 And I'm so sorry you got snubbed for the award...

Here, I made this for you! 💗

Well, I was one of many people...heh. I earned 1/208th of the Emmy. I asked for a piece, but they did not send it to me.

And: Oh how I love you...
 
I love you Kitty.
Back atcha, monkey man! 💗💗💗

Well, I would go with him, but all opinions are equally valid.

Sooo damn good! Chillingly, pragmatically, unassumingly evil.
I would say Giancarlo Esposito in Revolution might be a close second for me, but the rest of the show wasn’t nearly as good as Lost.

That show was called Evil, but yeah, he was better in Lost.

That doesn’t look like a beetle to me? Is it just me?
No, I agree. Apparently each one's a unique original work.

I read Wikipedia, so you don't have to:

An inscription of the name of the award's winner, and the category in question, is glued to the underside of the beetle.[2] The following text is engraved under the abdomens of each beetle: "Guldbaggen: comic, tragic, bizarre, outstanding - as the film's contrast-rich world. Its shimmering flight - operating filmstrip". All beetles are similar and yet different and unique works of art.

Etymology​

Guldbagge is the Swedish name for Cetonia aurata, a beetle also known as rose chafer.[7] Karl Axel Pehrson gave the following description of why he chose a rose chafer beetle as his inspiration when designing the award: "The rose chafer likes to fly in the summer sunshine. It shimmers much like a film strip as it flies by. Something about its behaviour and its way of living can be likened to that of film."
