Title: Norwegian culture
Post by: Bob on April 16, 2007, 03:35:02 PM
Or should I perhaps say the lack of culture...

I don't know how familiar you are with the concept of dance bands, but in Norway (and I also think the rest of Scandinavia), it is a very popular thing especially among the elder parts of the population (40+ (no offense meant to any in the community in that age group :rolleyes:)). Barn dances and similar events, are places you'll find these folks.

What is a trademark of the "typical" dance band, is the rather special (or perhaps complete lack of) taste in fashion - and they always almost were the same (hilarious) outfits. A Norwegian news paper made a small compilation of what they believe is/was the best dance band outfits (http://www.dagbladet.no/tv/index.html?clipid=14572) :doh:

I don't know if I should :roflmao: or :crying:

I think this is borderline as might be more suitable in "look what I found..." but anyway, an excellent find. Yeah, we have some incredibly bad dressed people of such kind in DK as well.

You should save those tears till you might need 'em. Just wait till Oth hits his midlife crisis and finds it a good idea to start wearing stuff like that - than you'll have a reason to cry :norty:
