What. The. Heck.

Is that like Norway's version of "The Wiggles"? Do they even speak English, or are they just singing phonetically?

They are a comedy troupe known as the Traveling Strawberries. This is an excerpt from their massively popular "julekalendar." Basically they act out a 15 minutes skit that adds up over Advent to tell a cute and funny story. Their unique English is part of the joke. Officially these elves (nisse) only speak English. It is poor English with Norwegian idioms and the odd Norwegian word included. They are making fun of themselves (as Norwegians) and how bad their Eglish used to be. Their line are hilarious, but you have to know both languages to understand.

In the story, the nisse have crashed their plane in Trondheim, next to a potato farm. They take shelter while one nisse attempts to carve a new propeller for the plane. They are somewhat pressed for time as the oldest elf is dying back in elf land (Nowegians don't have Santa). Their efforts are challenged by the appearance of a strange man who imposes on the hospitality of the potato farmer and his wife (who are unaware of the nisse). He calls himself Benny, but is actually a nåsså, a kind of troll who hates and preys on nisse. He suspects the nisse are in the vicinity and wants to kill them. The story takes turns and twists as some things go wrong and others go right as Benny closes in on them, eventually stealing their guidebook of Norway they found in the barn. (When the nisse are confused by a local custom one opens the book only to declare "skit, it's paa norsk!!!)

I recommend the series but their most famous song is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuFCe64WSJ8 that they sing throughout the series.

Other EXCELLENT songs from the story, you have heard the stoveldance (boot dance):

Wow, I've only been posting regularly for a few months and I've already made it to a very prestigious harem wishlist. I must be moving up in the world.

Wait jussec.

My #1 standing looks a little "iffy". How do you know that I don't call you cute or dream about you?

If I get #1 placement, I expect it to be written in stone. No. Granite.

Wait. What's this?

Subordinate?

You seriously need to read my sig line.

I take possible exception to this jab at female shoppers! If a woman goes to the mall with the intention of buying a pair of pants at the GAP, she likely stopped by Macy's because they had a huge sale in the kids department and wanted to see if she could pick up something new for her babies. She circles around JC Penney's to check out shoes, jewerly, purses and perhaps undies (where is Victoria's Secret on this map, eh?), she swings by SEARS to see if it's still in business and picks up some weird Craftsman tool thing for her husband and then gets over to GAP to pick up the pants.

by the way, the map is backwards, likely drawn by a man. A woman would have started out at the GAP to pick up the pants first. The SEARS purchase was a "guilt buy" on her way out of the GAP. Then she goes to the other stores for accessories, and finally remembers the kids have holes in the knees of their jeans and the science fair is the next day so she scarfs on the sale at Macy's for the jeans.

You know what, stay out of our business! We owe you no explanation. Just be glad we got you Craftsman!

Oh boy! Don't get me started. I wish this was the telestial board. I wish we could talk about X-rated sex!

I love that one button! Do press it, please.

You're objecting over the long, 3.5 hour squiggly line being drawn backward?!

hehehe

Oooohhh man, I love women.
