"Kock sokker, oog truser" ;D I think it's really nice to have another Scandinavian person here as well! It's great that at least one person knows what I'm babbling about *lol* "Det e bærre lækkert!" ;D Absolutely! We Scandinavians must stick together, right? You have the beauty front covered , and I´m in charge of ... erm ... uh, let´s see: silly jokes and the occasional language confusion ;D .

True, because I'm hoping kock sokker means something vastly different in Norwegian!

I wonder if other countries have the Christmas luncheon tradition? Where people meet with family, friends or colleagues, eat, drink, dance and party (if it takes place at one´s work place, there´s the famous photocopying of diverse behinds ... ;D). Does that tradition exist in the UK, US, Australia or anywhere else? Our office has a luncheon... we bring snacks that day and our boss takes us out to eat and we come back and exchange gifts Dirty Santa style (a gift exchange game...). Ours is pretty simple, but there are other places that do a much more elaborate, dress up and bring your family party. Or, rather, bring your spouse, significant other...

True, because I'm hoping kock sokker means something vastly different in Norwegian! I have learned many things during my antiquarian tours. Here are 3 random facts I have learned about Norway: 1. It is home to the very rare and often sleepy Norwegian blue parrot. 2. Norway's famous fjords were designed by Slartibartfast. 3. A kock sokker is a condom - and I know because the only Norwegian joke I know involves a condom: Did you hear about that guy in Oslo who was having an affair with his best friend's wife, and one afternoon, when they were in bed together, the husband unexpectedly returns home from work. "Quickly, quickly, it's my husband! You've got to hide." The lover springs out of bed, totally naked, and looks around for the wardrobe - but there's only minimalist Scandinavian furniture with no place to hide himself, so in a blind panic , the lover jumps out of the window and into the street, only to find himself right in the middle of the Oslo international skiing marathon surrounded by 3000 cross country skiers. Even worse, he then notices that the husband has seen him jumping out of the window and is coming after him. Terrified that he'll be recognised if his friend gets close enough to see his face, he puts his head down and starts running cross country alongside the other 3000 competitors. A couple of miles later one of the guys doing the Oslo cross country skiing marathon next to him asks politely, "Do you always do the Oslo cross country skiing marathon stark naked with no skis like that?" The lover replies "Yes, I'm Norwegian, it's much better for the health!" A couple of miles later the guy skiing next to him says, "And what about the condom?" The lover looks down at the condom still attached to his penis, looks up to the sky and replies, "Oh, has it stopped snowing?"
