The Naked Man, Swedish-style

Don't worry if you don't understand Swedish -- very little of this relies on language!



This certainly takes the prize for "Most Imaginative Use of Flatbread."

Speaking of naked men, on Sunday, Chaka bared his soul: he desperately wants to get to 100 followers and is threatening blogicide (that is, killing his own blog) if he doesn't reach that point by the end of July. He's a funny guy, and well worth saving, so please do your part for Blogicide Prevention Week and go stalk him.

    Being married to a Scandinavian, I can relate to that whole sensibility -- they are a wacky bunch! (Not that my husband does anything like this. No wait... just kidding.)

    Here's a weird one I stumbled upon yesterday (I don't make a habit of looking at this sort of thing):

    Oh dear, the thing that made me laugh is that the site of naked flesh makes people giggle no matter how old we are. The other thing that is hilarious is that its the Swedish version of Britains Got Talent - and so similar - even the comperes behind the curtains look similar and act the same as Ant and Dec in the UK.

    Because if there's one thing I love, it's flatbread.

    'kay, that was scary. And I think I saw a little more hairy stuff than they intended. Or maybe they DID want us to see. Crazy foreigners.

    Funny, indeed!
    They are very good at what they do, but a bit too similar to each other in my taste

    Glad to hear everyone enjoyed naked men with crispbread! We watched it when it ran on Swedish TV and laughed until the tears ran down our eyes.

    Can you believe it? They didn't get into the finals, which were won by a wonderful magician called Charlie Caper.

    Oh me oh my. I like how they kept accidentally (wink wink) losing their flat breads.

    Yes Jeanne it was always like that for all of us and still is.

    We are all very open and if we have a problem we were always taught to discuss the problem with the person and that it was fine to agree to disagree.

    So there was never a need to carry baggage.

    Thanks you for that wonderful comment, it really touched me Jeanne.

    Love Renee xoxo

    And all I have is an occasional stray Swedish fish. It isn't the same.
