    • (Can we date this quote?), Cho San Elite, “Norrlands siesta”‎[1]:
      För jag kommer ifrån Norrland. Mitt ställe är Älvsbyn [hard to make out]. Jag springer alltid omkring med ett kikarsikte i min syn. Har ni sett Jägarna, då vet ni vad jag menar. Jag tjuvskjuter renar. Spelar ingen roll om de har spenar.
      Because I come from Norrland. My place is Älvsbyn. I'm always running around with a rifle scope [telescopic sight] in my sight / vision. If you have seen "The Hunters," then you know what I mean. I poach reindeer. Doesn't matter if they have teats.
