A little inside joke here. We have a community of MPHS Alumni on a Yahoo Chat Page (If you are a 60 something Alum please join us).
There are many MPHS Alums of Danish or Swedish Descent on the Yahoo Chat Page. I (Craig Hullinger MPHS 66) am one of the few Norwegians. I have been harassing them about the superiority of Norsky Vikings over Danes and Swedes. They were all large smelly guys but we Norskies were way cooler. And Norsky Northern Lights are superior to Danish and Swedish Northern Lights. Ditto the Beer.

About the dissing though, that's another matter. You dissed both Danes and Swedes, and that accounts for 3/4 of my ancestry.
But you crossed the line with this: "And Norsky Northern Lights are superior to Danish and Swedish Northern Lights. Ditto the Beer."
You see, Craig, I'm 1/4 Bohemian (Czech) and there is absolutely no dispute that they make the best beer. (As well as consume the most in the world, on a per capita basis.)
I am sure this was a mere oversight, and not intentional, on your part. Because when you mess with Czech beer making, you are not only taking on my great great grandfather from Pilsen, you are messing (if I remember correctly) with Taffy's home-brewing Czech grandmother as well. Are you man enough to take on Taffy too?
I think not.

Now, Don, a little correction here. I never said Norsky Beer was superior to Bohemian beer, which it is not. I was in Bohemia last year and they have great beer and beautiful women. And German beer is better then Norsky beer.
What I said was - Norsky Beer is superior to Swedish or Danish Beer. And I stand by it.
Even though I have never actually had Swedish or Danish Beer. I try never to let facts interfere with my prejudices and I am generally successful in that effort.
I will add our comments to the blog entry, which makes it more interesting.
And no way am I getting into it with Taffy. I am a Marine but I am not crazy or suicidal.
