is it the national sport?

Finland is not part of Scandinavia.

The national sport of Norway is shagging sheeps. (Just like the Scottish...)

In Norway we call swedes sheep.

And in Sweden we call Norwegians sheep .

In Sweden the national sport is being shagged by norwegians.

In Sweden we have other things than just oil.

Norway invited Sweden and Volvo to invest in the oil industry, but Sweden and Volvo rejected the offer.

My friends and I use to hack around on a mmorpg back in the day, and the server we were on was about 50% filled with Norwegians, Swedes, and others from that general area. We heard that is was just too cold outside to anything else!

One would often see people running around and yelling: "Swe? Swe?" or something similar to find someone who spoke the language they were looking for.

I wonder if the same applies for CC?

I think it may be due to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqZTP8-8wIs

Still trying to recreate this moment, possibly the best commentary in history.

I've heard clearer, and better (and longer) versions, but this was the best I could find on u-tube. This is genius.

We got beat by 3 fireman, a social worker, and a dentist - highly disappointing.

Winston Churchill was dead for 10 yrs all ready, so he couldn't hear. Still......fair point. Lady Diana and Maggie Thatch were glued to the game by all accounts.

Since then no Norwegian has been able to top this - so they play CC and complain about people who get the arse when they get shit dice.

nippersean, this was posted on YT by some - Swede. It's from the same event and a little longer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=283rO2yE ... re=related

Lillelien's commenting is named as the best commentator moment.

At the end you can hear Lillelien's colleague say that the Norwegian team is hailed by 24 000 except 150 football hooligans as crestfallen leaving the stadium.

Lootifer, I know your watch is a bit off, but you're responding to a post from 5 years ago.

That's why I didnt correct him about how incorrect his actual numbers are.

Instead you spent the past 5 days conducting research in the countryside in order to confirm his position.

I even bothered to click on these links, fully expecting some blonde, Skandi (or not depending on your definition), like 6 ft, athletic, and great breasts. Like an ice dancer or skiier or porno star.

Please explain how this is the "hottest sports star 2011" - your words not mine.

It's an ugly bloke with beard, followed by an ugly bloke with no hair.

I was wondering about the same, but here's the original Swedish text:

"Låt oss presentera ettan på listan över de hetaste idrottsstjärnorna i Sverige: Petter Northug. "

Google translate to English:

"Let us introduce number one on the list of the hottest sports stars in Sweden: Petter Northug."

Norway's national sport is shagging sheep, claimed by a Swede further ahead in the thread. Norwegians call Swedes sheep. Might be a link between Swedens largest newspaper's vote for their hottest sports star here. This is the closest I can get.

Team Norway 4? in the CCWC

Did a Norwegian invent risk?

is it the national sport?

Five years, and no one answered your question.

The reason that there were so many Norwegians on CC is that it was "advertised" (by users who found it) quite a lot on the online football management game Hattrick, which was very popular in Norway. I'm pretty sure most of the Norwegians I've met on here also played Hattrick (as did I).

Mystery solved!

Oh, and I was actually a part of Norway 3. We were doing well, but then one of my team-mates sort of just disappeared. It wasn't meant to be
