I’m not the Norway expert I thought I was. I hadn’t been aware that the Norwegian Olympic curling team is famous, not for winning matches, but for wearing silly pants.
I do not feel richer for the knowledge. It does make me feel better about my ancestors’ decision to emigrate, though.

We like keeping the Norwegians in their place, silly boys. That’s nice.
