Coming from the land of ice and snow

Brave Norwegian takes lives into own hands .  Joined by a person who happened to be working on the boat when it left, the man who led his former team to their deaths goes back to look for them. That ole viking spirit is alive and well. The fatness of the viking loony adventurer is not recorded.

    I think that I'd just say, "Thank God I wasn't on the boat too" and cut my losses.

    Thanks. Now I've singing the Immigrant song in my head! :)

    They are your overlords, Laura. It's just that having done quite badly before, he's going down the same road again. Maybe this time, no one will be frozen.

    Well, I can't say that I haven't made the same mistake twice myself so.. all the best to him I suppose. :)

    I'd SO do pre-1990's Robert Plant. (and pre-1980's Captain Kirk)

    Laura, I had front row left seats for Plant's recent Band of Joy tour.

    I wouldn't rule him out these days, either.

    Oh really? He's still "do-able" is he? :P

    I'd love to see him live. I believe he's on my bucket list!

    his expedition's yacht, the Berserk, sank in a storm.

    Maybe naming your yacht "Reliable" would help.

    Damn, can I request a Mulligan?

    his expedition's yacht, the Berserk, sank in a storm.

    That's the cover story, but the yacht was really sunk by some Yorkshireman in a tub.

    Do not accept offers of akvavit from anyone called Ole.

    What about accepting chorizo from someone calling "Olé"?

    On reflection, I would prefer to sail in a ship called 'Egil Skallagrimsson' -- there would be more poetry and more living until 80.

    Unless he pronounces it "wiking."

    "Loony Vikings" is more fun to say than "Norwegian."

    I believe I might call my yacht "Cigareets, Whuskey & Wild Women" and sail it to some place that is not cold.

    But I think you've posted that one before anyway.

    Why do I bother?

    He was no Ernie Shackleton. You ought to know how I feel about Sir Ernie.

    I think that this dude would feel that Shackleton overplanned things, Wylie. You and I might say "took reasonable steps for a hazardous journey".

    That's funny. Whenever I've heard the phrase "trickle down," the first thing I've always thought of is getting peed on. This can't be a coincidence.
