Might I be on your Albanian ping list? My real name is Adil Hoxha, and I'm very pale with pink eyes. ;)
The Norway of America - that's funny! I don't care who you are. ;)
Another thing that makes it good to be Norwegian is the Nordic traits. You always fit in and are never looked down on when you travel. Darker people tend to have more difficulty with that kind of stuff.
Yeah, right, you're Hoxha, and I'm King Zog.
I started the Norway ping list the end of January, when tomjohn77 protested that members of Free Republic are "anti-Norway," and as I was doing nothing in particular other than preparing income taxes and watching the prairie grass waver in the wind, I decided to see if I could "sell" Norway.
A remarkable product, Norway, well worth "buying."
So now I'm switching to a more-difficult product to sell, Albania. Nobody cares about Albania, but I'm going to do my best to change that.
Uh, I was once arrested by the Ukrainian "state police," on suspicion of being a German.
But it is generally true that, yeah, harmless-looking people are better-treated.
At least she didnt blame a Muslim.
Hi there,
I came over this old thread, don't ask me why :-)
But, you mentioning college football made me remember something. I just wanted to inform you of another Norwegian-American. Knut Rockne (sp?) came from Voss in Western Norway.
Cheers.
Of course Knute Rockne of Notre Dame was Norwegian.
By the way, during the 1920s, Nebraska played "the Four Horsemen" of Notre Dame, coached by Knute Rockne.
Notre Dame was unbeatable; no one beat them.
Except Nebraska.
Two times.
