You haven't really got the hang of this "off topic" thing have you?  Or are you being deliberately obtuse?  Huh

A pickled Hungarian will do nicely, thanks. Have you any horseradish to go with that?

Då dei første innbyggjarane kom til dette området i eldre steinalder var havnivået her 30-40 m over dagens nivå, noko som betyr at Skogsfjordvatnet var ein fjord. Busetnadane var i gammal tid nær sjøen, noko som tyder at busetnadane truleg flytta nærmere havet då havnivået vart høgare og Det opphavlege namnet på innsjøen var det gammalnorske Rindarvatn (genitiv av rind, "bergrygg", som namnet Ringvassøya kjem av). På 1400-talet var Rindarvatn ein av erkebisp Aslak Bolt sine eigedommar, truleg på grunn av innsjøen sin fiskerikdom. Seinare vart Skogsfjordvatnet Tromsø kyrkje sin eigedom, men ein veit lite om bruken av området før omkring 1800, då nyryddarar kom og det vart etter kvart danna ei lita bygd ved innsjøen. Området hadde meir innlandsklima enn kystbygdene på øya, men her var det andre naturressursar, som bjørkeskog, frodige beite, god rydningsjord i liene, rype og ferskvassfisk. I tillegg til den norske folkesetnaden, budde det samiske familiar som levde av reindrift i bygda. Etter kvart kom det òg svenske og finske innvandrarar og familiar sørfra som busette seg i bygda. Området rundt Skogsfjordvatnet var truleg det siste som hadde samisktalande busetjarar i kommunen, heilt fram til 1960-talet var det samisktalande i bygda.
Rundt 1900 vart det sett i gong omfattande skjerping og prøvedrift av svovelkisbrot ved Skogsfjordvatnet. Det var eigentleg mislukka, men på 1930-talet var det likevel noko drift på kisfelta. På 1950-talet var det fleire pelsdyrfarmar ved Skogsfjordvatnet, men desse vart nedlagd på 1960-talet. Skogsfjordvatnet har vore ei viktig jordbruksbygd frå 60-talet, for det meste med sau og geit. På grunn av godt klima, ferskvassfiske og den vakre naturen rundt innsjøen har bygda òg vore ettertrakta av turistar og sportsfiskarar.

If I asked you if you'd like to slither off with me and look for happiness behind the sofa, I can only hypothesise that you would laugh at me. Before you do that, or if you'd prefer, while you do that, just think of this: every time you laugh at a sad, lonely and desperate sock puppet, God causes a kitten to be born into slavery. There are ramifications to every action.

oh. excuse me.

Oh! Hello! What are you do- [crump]

We've come to liberate you. We may only be three inches high but we can liberate in a hurry when required. Please get your coat and take these complimentary roller blades.

For me?

A mint?

How... totally charming. I think I may cry.

Not on the carpet love. It's feral.
