In the late ’80s I was living with a Swedish girl who lived in Hedenaset – just across the border from Finland, way up north above the Baltic Sea. Yes, winters were cold. And dark. But summers were nice. And she was gorgeous. So there you go.
We would go to discos over in Finland and it was quite the scene. This was in the era of the ’80s outrageous androgynous colorful metallic fashion, and Euro-synth-punk music. In northern, rural Finland. It was, well, it was quite the scene. I’d be sitting in a corner booth, watching colorful flashing lights over the dance floor filled with some of the strangest looking people you’ve ever seen.
I grew up on a hog farm in an Amish community in southeastern Ohio. I was wearing jeans, boots, and a denim jacket. These people looked like David Bowie on a bad acid trip. I, of course, sat there calmly and tried to appear bored, like nothing unusual was happening. Even as an 18-year-old farm boy, I somehow intuitively understood that the more absurd one’s behavior, the more seriously one tends to take oneself, and the more violent one’s likely reaction to ridicule.

Joe Biden recently nominated Dr. Rachel Levine to become the first transsexual something-or-other to serve as federal something-or-other in the Department of Health and Human Services.

Well, there is a geisha knitting while sumo wrestlers perform near the end of the video, so the title isn’t actually wrong.
“...I was living with a Swedish girl...she was gorgeous.”
Is that the “gorgeous” “Swedish girl”?
Oh! .......nevermind, you said Sumo.......
“The title should read “Suomo”, not “Sumo”. FYI...”
Title should read “Boring Git Full of Himself”
Heavy metal sumo knitting is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
Now THAT’S cross-culturalism.
Give him a break. He’s just a poor Amish farm boy.
Poor boy.
I was a top competitive knitter when I was younger. Odd I never heard of this competition or I would have been there.........
Oh yes, the Sami. The natives of Scandinavia who were there long before the blonde haired north Germans arrived.
The point of the article is that when you embrace strange that the only direction that things go is even more strange. Once freaks (my word) are normalized, a new group of even bigger freak has to emerge to shake up the new normal.
These guys are good!

Sure, the Left always promotes that which subverts normality. Start with “gay liberation” and wind up with 57 “gender identities” and “ men” who menstruate and give birth. Invent a new phobia to attack anyone who isn’t on board with this.
If he needs more attention he could try grafting his penis to his forehead, foreskin-forehead, and his testicle to his chin.
There a many ways to be creative. Grafting an earlobe to the back of his left hand perhaps. His dedication to his philosophy could also be shown by having a full coverage rainbow tattoo from head to toe.
