Norway Loves The Pats

[archstanton543]

My friend is on vacation in Norway (why he's doing it this time of year, I'll never know) and he found a Patriots bar at the Alesund airport in Norway. He was nice enough to send me a couple of pics.

Wow...Nice tribute to our Patriots....Just one question tho.......

What does the sign " Happiness is Hand Pulled " mean ?

LMAO

Loved my Viking Homelands cruise & tours of Norway. My fear that we would be forced to consume sardines was ill-founded.
Wife was captured by Patriots hating Vikings fans in Stockholm but was successfully rescued.

Either that or maybe a pulled pork sandwich? LOL

Pretty sure it's referring to beer.

Nice. Has a "Larry Bird's Boston Connection" (Terre Haute, IN) feel to it.

maybe it is drinking beer, eating a pork sandwich while getting a *?

The place is called O'Learys, it is part of a chain that is all over Scandinavia. We have two of them in the Copenhagen Airport.

I believe a woman from Boston married a Swede and started the chain in Sweden.

O'Learys are all over in Denmark. Fantastic Sports pub with Boston Sports on the Walls

Irish Pub in Boston

This is pretty sweet. I am jealous actually. It is better decorated than the Pats bar I go to here.
Always wanted to go to Norway too.

 

[The Brandon Five]

Didn't the forum used to have a list of Patriots bars (I think it was limited to cities with opposing teams)? We need a worldwide list!

Here's hoping that they still love us if we play the Vikings in the Super Bowl.

True Story: Did y'all know that the Vikings were one nation? One language? That the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians were all one'nd the same?

So basically they got separated by tribal rivalries and ended up spinning off 3 different nations...Kind'f like the Latins ~ Romans, if you like ~ splitting up into the French, Spanish, Italians, Lusitanians (Portuguese, to you Earthlings), and Dacians.

What??? Nobody gives a pharq??? I'm shocked, I tells ya!!

The Vikings also settled Normandy which is where all the Quebecois came from, so all of us French-Canadians are actually Vikings (which explains why my AncestryDNA results had me scratching my head about being 15% Scandinavian).

The Vikings didn't settle Normandy. The Romans settled Normandy, at least in the sense of conquering it from the Gauls, and subsequently lost the Province to the Franks, who in turn were compelled by force of arms to lease it to the Vikings.

And of course the "Normans" of Viking/Frankish/Roman/Celtic lineage forged extraordinary careers in Britain, Italy, and elsewhere.

But all Quebecois are not necessarily Vikings, Bro. Not even close.

But that 15% mark sounds about right.

Ok, they conquered it. That 15% translates to 30% in my father, who was half "French" and half Irish, so it really represents 60% of my father's "French" ancestry.
