- bosssmiley, on 07/01/2008, -0/+100Scandinavia proves that - despite the civilising effect of wind farms, Lego, interior design and safe cars - the old Viking mentality of 'drink, loot, vanish into the sea mists' ain't quite dead yet.

- Carthagefield, on 07/01/2008, -0/+33Dude, it was only 3 miles. Everybody thinks they are a superhuman Viking when drunk. 'Tis a scientific fact.
- diggdong, on 07/01/2008, -0/+26Not everyone can be a pirate.
- nkspas, on 07/01/2008, -1/+21"I swear, I just fell asleep at the oars."
- Cerebron, on 07/01/2008, -0/+14He wasn't sleeping, he was planning his attack.
- AndreasTh, on 07/01/2008, -0/+13haha, I missed this even though I live in Helsingborg. Hilarious!
- ShaggyRogers, on 07/01/2008, -2/+14"Police said the owner of the dinghy had decided not to press charges."
Try pulling a stunt like that in America and see how the owner treats you. - inactive, on 07/01/2008, -0/+12Old guy had this in mind: http://www.vikingkittens.com/.

"Drunken Swede rows home from Denmark" - Nappuccino, on 07/01/2008, -0/+12What was their lawnmower doing at the bar in the first place?
- OrangeTide, on 07/01/2008, -0/+11it's a lot more like those stories of rednecks getting drunk and driving their lawnmowers home because they are too drunk to find their car keys.
- kadio, on 07/01/2008, -0/+11greatest comment ever
- feliks2, on 07/01/2008, -0/+10how poetic
- SocialPoison, on 07/01/2008, -0/+10I'd buy him a beer if I got the boat back.
- MrDo, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8I en liten bot - sittar vi och kyssar
Midt på Øresund - sidder to forelsked' bøsser
En elskovsstund på Öresund
Kys mig med din fuldskægsmund
Javist, min danska ven
För vi knullar ut på sundet - det' vor hemliga tradition
Vi kæler lidt og nusser blidt - och smager lidt på korven hos verandre
Smak på korven min - jaydoj, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8dugg for the muppets

- Sil3ncer7, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8Dugg for badass-ness, and the fact, that if we tried it in the states, we would get thrown in jail...
- bimtott, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8Dugg for going to booze it up in Hamlet's 'hood
- OrangeTide, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8people get drunk and wander off with stuff in rural America all the time. Us country folk ain't quite as uptight as you city folk.
- feliks2, on 07/01/2008, -0/+5this reply was for when cooclave's comment said something else
- Jared80KA, on 07/01/2008, -1/+6In college, I got housed at a party on Treasure Island in San Francisco. I missed the last bus to the city and thought I would just walk back to my apartment in the middle of the city. Surprisingly, I made it halfway across the Bay Bridge at 2am without getting ran over by 60+mph cars or falling hundreds of feet to my death into the ocean before getting arrested.
The cops were actually nice enough to drop me off at a MUNI station in the city - where I proceeded to stumble the remaining miles home.

And my route home (7.2 miles - not bad!): http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=5414 ...
Ahhh... good times. - feliks2, on 07/01/2008, -0/+4Can't digg block this ***** ip address or something?

Behold the civilized Swedes, this bunch are Odinists, great way to live your life. Drink, loot, piss in the middle of the road and and bark your ancestors' tales - scarwars, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover." - inactive, on 07/01/2008, -3/+5I know a kid from Long Island that walked 12 miles home while drunk one night. Sun started coming up as he got there.
- tierneyb, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3It's tough to tell distance looking out at water...
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3That reminds me of a story my brother told me, I'll try to keep it short.
He bought some land in the country, built a large shed. One day a brand new 4-wheeler appeared inside the shed with chains on it. He did nothing with it, thinking he might be accused of stealing it. That same day someone had smeared axle grease and some paint he had stored in the shed on a wall.
A year and a half later, he got tired of worrying about it and rolled it out to the edge of his property, outside his fence, and called the local police to report it. They came and picked it up. Turns out it belonged to another guy that bought land adjacent to his but the insurance had long since covered it.
Probably some kids or some drunks shoved it in his shed and ran off, he's smart for never riding or using it himself. - Rotzooi, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2LeifEriksen? Are you the TechnoViking?
- comradeTJH, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Do I know you? Wait... it wasn't from long Island - never mind.
- judicar, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Couldn't he just drive? ... sorry I'm American.
- SerifTheRobot, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2Homerowed!
- scarwars, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2you don't go out much do you
- veotho, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2I don't get it, why would you eat *****? That doesn't sound very healthy.
- cutchyacokov, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2I completely cracked up when I got to: "Bork bork bork!"
- headhunterMDK, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2that was so damn funny my sides still hurt
- LeifEriksen, on 07/01/2008, -5/+7Only Digg could turn this story into an opportunity to remind us all once again how much America sucks
- cutchyacokov, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2I haven't looked into my ancestry too deeply but the old man did just buy a row boat . . .
- cheekdog, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2holy jeebus that's the funniest comment i've ever read! thanks for the much needed laugh!
- Tyrghast, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2Lol, dinghy.
- lolwutpear, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2wait, they brought their lawnmowers to the bar beforehand? that's some good preparation.

The wøndërful telephøne system - jpetrov, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2I was in Helsingor and Helsingburg few years ago. Its quite a run to do it by yourself, and the sea has some strong currents. Many Swedes come over to get drunk (cheaper and lesser age limits). I saw similar type of crowd elsewhere (Finns visiting Estonia).
- coolcave, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1Go away you ***** Digg Troll!!!
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1In his defense, Sweden is clearly visible from Helsingor (and, of course, Denmark from Helsingborg).
