That’s the thing. Canadians and Danes mostly think the whole incident a bit embarrassing and ridiculous. But in Greenland they react to it on a much deeper emotional level. They’re outraged. They feel Canada is chipping away on their historic lands. Greenlanders are attached to the land, while Canada just wants it for the potential resources or the rights to the shipping lane, or whatever. Which is why Canada really just should stay away.
I didn’t mean they had the best in general, but only in relation to the EU. Also I don’t think it’s as bad as all that – though it would be a whole fucking lot better if they hadn’t been burdened with the goddamn idiotic Greenpeace (fuck Greenpeace with a big rod of iron!). Many Greenlanders are doing good, it’s just that those that aren’t, aren’t in such a spectacular way. I have several Eskimo Greenlanders in my immediate family, both living in Copenhagen and in Greenland (btw. girls of a Scandinavian/Eskimo mix are often ridiculous cute) – the young ones are doing pretty good, getting an education etc.
ummm… I know an American girl living in Copenhagen. Her mother on a visit was very puzzled by all the drunken Japanese she saw in the street.
I’ll drink to that. And I wholeheartedly aggree re: Greenlandic chicks; I saw one in Copenhagen during the Vestnorden travel market and I swear I still have dreams about her. The word “Dayum” is thrown around a lot these days but …dayum!
Oh, and Polycarp: sucess lies in the eye of the conquistador. Our conquest will prove successfull eventually through selective breeding in …well, Gimli; we’re doing the same in Utah but at an even slower rate. Guess where “Canadian” astronaut Bjarni Tryggvason is from? Heck, we might even complete our conquest before y’all finish up back east!
So that’s why Uncle Eric came over. He married my father’s sister and set out to increase the numbers of Ingrids and Lindas and Erikas in Canada. I’d mention the family name, but it’s so ridiculously uncommon that if I search the national phonebook listings, I get maybe half a dozen entries. And I know them all.
The family name, though, is extremely Scandinavian and extremely cool.
I fear I may have said too much… just make sure you procreate with your fellow Scandinavians (a lot) and have lots of beautiful, strong, blonde babies. We’ll get there in the next few centuries, just you wait and see!
