I will believe they are “young vikings” when they start doing the Viking thing to their invaders.

Meanwhile, in real-life, Scandinavia is being overrun and sacked by the Mussulmen.

So cute, playing dress up while the Muzzies rape your women and daughters.

My family always said our roots were in Scotland—albeit 400 years ago. My sister did one of those DNA test things and she was “shocked” that a good chunk of our background was Northern European/Scandinavian. Add to that 15% Italian.

I told her that would not be a shock if she remembered her history: Our ancestors got raped by only the Best Invaders: The Vikings and the Romans.

If we tried to do something like that in The States...it would end up like FinnFest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. No axes, burning torches or longboats, just great food and the World’s largest Sauna...

The British crime drama Shetland shows the festival. It’s a good series.

And here I thought the Swedes were taking Malmö back...

As one with Norman blood on both sides of my family, this sounds interesting.
