Thats funny. Nice capture.

And I'll bet when Toivo took a look at it he said "Uf-dah!"

[Steve Foss]

Do Finns say uff dah?

[jonny_redhorse]

I think that's more in the Norwegian dictionary

[CFRay]

Superman may have landed there. Nice post!

[caseymcq]

I didn't think it was as much of a specific ethnic saying as it was all Scandahovians in Minnesota.

[Steve Foss]

Well, those Finns hold themselves apart from your garden variety Swede or Norwegian.

10,000 Swedes......running through the weeds......chased by 1 Finn!........an old saying from years ago

[Steve Foss]

Actually, where I grew up (Red River Valley) it was a Norwegian who was chasing all those Swedes, and they were 10,000 women running away from the guy.
