I do believe you did tell me at some point a while ago... We had the toughest Vikings of all the Scandinavian contries, although few really knows that. They all think the freekin' Norweegans were cooler then us, hurumph, humbug. Haha.

Jag älskar Sverige. I havn't been back there in 9 years and my Swedish has deteriorated considerably.

I was getting pretty good back then.

I thought all that was settled in 1905.

I had a viking avatar for a long time but I can't find it.

That's probably because the Swede vikings traveled more to the east through Russia to Byzantium. Since the Danes and Norwegians liked to pillage western Europe and settled Iceland and Greenland, it's gotten more attention in western history books.

This guy from Uppsala told me all the really tough Swedes were off with Gustavus Adolphus in the 17th century while the less tough stayed home thereby weakening the gene pool. Apparently he was making excuses for himself.

Here's a link to a bunch of them. It's where I got my current avatar: http://www.osterholm.info/vikings/

Okay, you guys have awakened my ancestral blood; I must assume my true identity (avatar).
There! We are all Scandahoovian brothers! Praise be to Odin!

There's only one problem. My Irish ancestral blood had managed to keep my Viking blood at bay. But now they are entering into the age-old battle.
Damn, I'd hoped to avoid this... there'll be blood-shed. :roll:

Wow! Great Viking site, norseman.

Yeah, I know. Flyingcursor. And what that guy from Uppsala said is a complete lie

No tough Swedes have ever been living in Uppsala, that's for sure
