Sorry Vlad. Everybody knows the Sa'ami are NOT just run away rag tag Germanic tribesman. They moved to the Arctic a good 14,000 years back leaving you guys in the caves picking lice.

It's a racial difference ~ not cultural ~ and after several centuries of the Norse perventing native Sa'ami from living on their own land simply because they didn't learn a Sa'ami language, we can now test your DNA and find your Sa'ami lineage.

About half the modern Norwegians on the West coast are, in fact, dispossesed Sa'ami, not Southern Europeans at all.

So, no, it's not an obsession ~ for me it's another topic to study in family history.

Or more likely, “When are you gonna take me to Mallorca?!”....girls tired of eating seals hitched a ride on a boat to somewhere.

Shopping. The Norse girls looked around at Greenland and thought, “Walrus teeth and seal guts....what kind of shopping is this? Back home you can get watches and cell phones at the mall.” So the young Norse women headed home. Have you seen the Swedish Bikini Team? The young Norse men then looked around and thought, “Well, I can stay here in Greenland and try to have sex with a seal or go home and cuddle up with the Bikini Team.” It was shopping.

“Reindeer, that ever popular subarctic deer...”

I recomember that reindeer/caribou meat lacks a fatty acid that is essential to humans. Same with rabbits. In other words, humans cannot live on a diet consisting solely of Santa’s helpers or bunnies or they will slowly but surely starve to death.

If their diet consists of majority seal meat I suspect that their body odor would be so strong that they would stop having intimate relations ergo the population would die out...

What's for dinner, Mom?

Seal casserole.

What, again?!

That's it - I've had it! There aren't any decent guys to date and all we eat is seal! When I'm 18, I'm moving to Bergen!

Cue “Hungarian Goulash”. Just because. Okay, so, while everyone’s puzzling over that and slowly working their way through the lyrics from memory, ‘Civ goes out of the room again to check on the progress of his Boxee.
