Yeah.. apparently there was a lot of that going on somewhere in Sweden..

I'm just wondering how that would work, exactly. You're standing there cutting something up with your brand new Swedish chainsaw and you think, "you know, maybe I should just whip it out and see if I can get the chain to stop that way..."

I dunno. Craziness.
