One of Fiskis most legendary alcoholics Perkele had one of his many eviction parties last weekend. According to Wikipedia Perkons was the god of thunder, rain, mountains, oak trees and the sky, one of the most important deities in Latvian mythology. The Finns assumed the name perkele to refer an evil spirit - not being on good terms with the Lithuanians at that time. Later with Christianity they also co-opted him for one of the titles of Satan. So Perkele has a lot to live up to.
