None of us were drunk, and one of us is even a rather conservative Christian (although an intellectually inclined such, although that’s hardly relevant here), who only a couple of hours earlier had complained about neon signs being symbols of the moral degeneration of the West.
There’s actually a picture of said statue in the wikipedia article I linked to; observe the Vice-Admiral’s proud posture, and tell me you would have resisted the temptation. Besides, the filthy collaborator deserved it.

Collaborator? With the Danes, you mean?
So every single Norwegian official between Kalmar and 1814 where collaborators, then?

Nopes, that there was a little something I like to do, which I generally call “ironic exaggeration”. In this case I used it in a last, desperate attempt to semi-justify our rather immature behaviour. To the extent that it actually needed any such justification, of course.

Isn’t that, like, illegal or something?
Not that I care - I probably would’ve joined in if I was there.

Yesyes, I got the exaggeration-bit, I’m just wondering if you meant it in relation to the Danes or something else. I haven’t read up on this guy since grade school, I don’t know shit about him anymore.

I meant it in relation to the Danes, yes. And a thousand apologies for underestimating you.
As for knowing stuff about him… I don’t know much either, although I recently heard someone refer to him as a “faens jævla hæstkuk” (said person’s from Harstad, so let’s excuse his language), which was more than enough for me.
And the legality of it all; it wouldn’t surprise me if we’ve once had some kind of law forbidding the incompetent throwing of objects of a light, almost insubstantial material at solid bronze statues. But I hope to the Gods they’re abolished now. I mean, just so I won’t have to stop voting because our politicians are mad.

When the politicians are mad I’d say the time to START voting is severely overdue…

Seconded.
(Yes, I laugh at my own jokes. Life’s too short to just wait around for someone more witty than I am myself to decide to entertain me.)

Hey, it’s no shame in laughing at one’s own jokes. I do that all the time.
