That happens on the Norway ping list, sir.
Usually when the authentic Norwegians actually in Norway are "active" in Free Republic (yes, there are some).
But this being late Friday afternoon (5:30 p.m. Nebraska time, 11:30 p.m. Norway time), the Norwegians are out getting aquavitaed, and not logged on to Free Republic.
I realize that. But there seemed to be a lot of talk about Swedes, so I thought I would mix it up a bit. Remember, it IS Friday afternoon. ;^)
