You see cars everywhere with "Uff da!" bumper stickers. People actually serve lutefisk for holiday. A friend and I wanted to start a punk band called "Dead Lefse." (And I'm a nice Irish-American girl! LOL!)<BR/><BR/>We affectionately call our local Scandanavian population "Scandahoovians" or, when they misbehave, "Scandahooligans." I call large American sedan cars "Old Swede -mobiles" because you see so many of them being driven very slowly around my hometown by elderly people named Sven and Olaf and Karin and Astrid and Anders and... you get the point. :-)Merujohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123831956012950960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-1134656253094688582005-12-15T09:17:00.000-05:002005-12-15T09:17:00.000-05:00Being a fellow Scandalousian(?)
