Let's face it, Finland in winter is usually colder than just about anywhere -wondering if the Canuks on the list will get all defensive. :)

You're getting serious, which is a (ahem) serious breach of list
protocol. :). Its the primacy of the forest itself, the isolation, the
backwoods primalism that I nicked from the Kalevala. And of course, the
metres. :) Less Subarctic certainly. Vines aren't a big part of my
vision - its giganticism and Darkness vegetation from Dagori Inkarth
that give it its extra crunchy flavour -

Waaaah! Seems as perfect as 'March of the Sinister Ducks' - which as Graham pointed out, is available on Neil Gaiman's site.
Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Soft downy feathers and nice little wings
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
But there's a poison I'd like to administer
You think they're cuddly but I think they're sinister
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
What are they doing at night in the park?
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Think of them waddling about in the dark
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Sneering and whisp'ring and stealing your cars
Reading pornography, smoking cigars
Nasty and small and deserving of bile
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
They smirk at your hairstyle and sleep with your wife
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Dressed in plad jackets and horrible shoes
Getting divorces and turning to booze.
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Forcing old ladies to throw them some bread
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Who could deny they'd be better off dead!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Look closer and you will recoil in surprise
Web footed fascists with death in their eyes!
Ducks! ducks!....
Peloria is a lot like Neil Gaiman. :)
Need coffee.
Need... therapy....
