Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Thoughts of from the Viking

Hvis din fisk er glad du vil bli glad.

I haven't seen any of them since the pond froze several months ago. How will I know?

(Hvorfor er du ikke inne det Superbowl?)

Valhalla, I am coming

On we sweep, with thrasing oar, our only goal will be the western shore.

Midt på vinteren galskap. Hvor er Andedammen når vi trenger ham?

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are young overlords.

Jeg er sikker på at Andedammen vil vende tilbake.

Techno,

I looked at your profile -- I see your profession is "aquavit conqueror."

Sunil ... is that you?

Wenn Ihr Fisch zufrieden sind Sie gerne

Are German fish as happy as Norwegian fish, as happy as Swedish fish, as happy as Finnish fish?

What about the LuteFisk?

It's Swedish, Norwegian, and Finn! In any language, it is still just plain bad fish Jell-O that smells awful! But, we love it. Being Lutheran has it's purgatory at least twice a year.

Ahh! But St. Uhro's day is coming. There is nothing to compare to the annual mojakka tasting contests.

Sven and Ole go fishing. It’s such a great day, they rent a boat so they can fish from the middle of the lake. They row out, drop their lines, and before you know it, they're catching fish, one after another after another. They can’t believe what a great fishing spot they found.
Sven says, “This is the best fishing spot in the county. It’s just too bad we didn’t bring some paint.”
Ole asks, “Paint? Why should you want paint, to go fishing?”
“Well Ole, don’t you see, so we can paint an “X” in the bottom of the boat, so we can find this spot next time.”
Ole laughs at him. “Sven, don’t be such a dummy! Next time, what if they give us a different boat?”

Ken, I'm not Techno Viking.

Techno Viking resides in the basement of Todd Overton's compound where they keep him locked up, chewing on coca leaves while listening to the Bee Gees and Muzak, around the clock.

He must have gotten out.

Damn! just imagine if the Vikings had beaten the Saints!!!

Sunil wishes he were me, as I wish I were him, then we would be the same.

Oh No! Let's not start with the Sven and Ole jokes!

This is part is true . . . My dad was named Ole. My best friend's dad was named Sven (spelled Swan!). I had an aunt Lena!

But ...

I still remember my dad going over to the lumberyard where my friend's dad worked. My dad said he needed some 2x4s. Mr. Lambert asked my dad how long he needed them. My dad said -- "Oh, for a very long time. I'm building a new outhouse."

Did he know Jan Jansen?

No, but our neighbor was Hans Hansen. Does that count?

The best team in the NFC is not going to the Superior Bowl.

You can tell its winter around here and someone left the bar open to long.

Serious bummer! But, the dudes and dudettes from my neck of the woods have another serious chance at the world curling championship in Calgary!

Yeh, well . . .

Speaking of curling, I'm in Moncton New Brunwick Canada right now.

We were up in Bathurst two days ago and passed the Bathurst Curling Club.

Curling Colorado koolaid is my sport of choice.

I remain convinced the Curling was invented by some very clever Canadians as an excuse to drink beer when it was too cold for bowling alleys to be open.

Having grown up as a Scandahoovian-Pollock with serious curling experience, and having to decide to go curling, bowling, or to hockey practice on cold winter Saturday mornings -- as I know it -- curling was invented by the Scots (aka Scotch -- like in single malt).
