The troll may be big and scary, but the smart money is on the wily soot-covered boy.

I was hoping one of the Norwegians would have opened this thread.

askeladden! in a thread title! hahahahaha! i love you k/l/lauterb.

the t/s: obv ASKELADDEN (aka oskefisen, in modern Nog literally translated "the ashfart", tho i doubt that is the original meaning). I mean, wearing bag on tummy to eat more porridge than troll, then when bag is full ripping it open w/a knife whilst shouting OMG I'M SO FULL I NEED TO PUNCTUATE STOMACH thus tricking troll to kill itself, is that not exceptionally classic?

(A serious case could be made for the modern Norwegian national spirit being unhealthily like Askeladden. How do we cope economically? Haha we just found some valuable stuff lying by the wayside (ie oil in North Sea) and then make the most of it, pretending it's a Just Reward for being Good People.)

re one of the Norwegians etc, anyone noticed any such apart from Geir, Øystein and myself?
