I really wasn't going to blog tonight but this you've got to hear about. There's a series called Nova (sciencey) and they was just talking about the Eskimos - one of the groups of people that I love to make fun of because they're different and I could probably take one down - one punch - it's over. But who are these peoples? We all know that they live in the cold - but what else? Now I know everything about them because I just watched an hour special. Did you know some of the husbands traded their wives off for "goods"? It's a fact. Even though some of these subservient looking round faced ladies looked innocent -they weren't! Some had Sifolice (I know that's the wrong spelling but I never had it so how would I know how to spell it)? But you have to admit, they are adorable (see picture above).
I'm not going to ruin it for you, but these guys can catch a seal while in their igloo! Imagine that. There is one disturbing fact though - a dark side. They want to be called something like Inuit instead of Eskimo. Hold on there Frosty. You earn my respect THEN we'll talk nicknames. Either way, watch the Nova - you might not only learn something about an Eskimo -you might learn something about (lean toward screen) ..YOURSELF. (DISCLAIMER: I Love Eskimos - Inuits are dicks..but I love Eskimos)
That is all.
Zibbs, you are mistaken. Eskimos are total badasses when it comes to fisticuffs. In fact, it would probably be a two-hit fight:
ReplyDelete1) The Eskimo hits you.
2) You hit the floe.
I avoid sciencey things at all costs. Baby Jesus is the only science I need.
ReplyDeleteOh, and kudos to John Young for the outstanding pun!
I live in Baltimore, which is the "Sifolice" capital of the world. But Eskimos don't know that. Advantage: Jon.
ReplyDeleteMan, that's cold as Ice....NNNAAAAAAA!
ReplyDeletemy favorite line of the day: "Hold on there Frosty. You earn my respect THEN we'll talk nicknames." I think you can build a sitcom around that.
ReplyDeleteNova is like The Three Stooges: only men find it interesting.
ReplyDeleteDude,
ReplyDeleteInnuit also use wives to pay bad gambling debts. I'm not kidding.
I get what you're saying but I'm just not In(t)uit.
ReplyDeleteI got two words for you Zibbs: Ler-Ning.
ReplyDeleteI don't read your blog to get all smart and stuff. So I don't appreciate this sneaky trick.
I, too, love Eskimoes. Drinks are always on them. Inuits head for the restroom when the tab arrives. Pricks.
ReplyDeleteSee folks, now Gwen left a punny comment.
ReplyDeleteFine Zibbs, we'll do things your way:
ReplyDeleteKnock, Knock.
For John Young: Who's There?
ReplyDeleteEskimo Christians Italian no lies.
ReplyDelete/facepalm
I went to a high school where our mascot was an Eskimo.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was kidding. The Esko EskOmos.
And, yes, we all had sifolice. We saw it as a rite of passage in our village.
Being from Alaska, I grew up with Eskimos and they could definitely hold their own, unless of course they were drunk, which half of them are most of the time anyway. You mainly just want to stay away from Eskimo women. We were friends with one named Quana, and she broke her (white) husbands ribs all the time. Not pretty. Her or her ability.
