Thank you so much, Franksolich. Vikings can be girl types, too. ;-)
You know, Madam, the largest ethnic group here in Nebraska is the generic "Scandinavian," of which 99% are Danish, the other 1% Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faeroese.
So both Norwegians and Swedes are a rare commodity here; but by chance, when I was a small child, I grew up in a town ten miles east of one of the two Swedish enclaves in this state (Gothenburg; the other is Stromsburg).
The Gothenburg high school band was named "the Vikings," and used the Swedish national anthem as their fight song.
As I said, I was a small child, and easily terrified; every time the cheerleaders and band marched on the football field, I had visions of England afire, men with horns growing out of their heads, fat women singing, ships resembling gravy-boats surging through the waters.
The "Viking" football team was no great shakes, though; we (Cozad) always beat them.
