Look, considering the general preference among most English natives for Romance languages*, this might be a bit hard for me to counter–so I'll go for a cheap shot.

It's news to me, though he doesn't make any more sense in Swedish than he does in English. 'Bork' doesn't mean anything as far as a know. That said, having had first hand experience with Norwegians, it makes total sense. :p

¨*They're Germans, but I've heard similar jokes before.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
I think it's just supposed to be a joke about what we think Swedish people sound like.
I have no idea what you're børking about.

I must save that picture for future battles!

I've heard something about the whole thing originating with an actual Swedish chef on US tellie that went bananas, but I haven't actually seen the clip

Why don't people ever poll me on such important matters? Also, don't mistake ME for a Norwegian; as if I'd ever use an 'ø' where an 'ö' is clearly needed. Spelling 'ö' with 'ø', now THAT'S the definition of madness. To börk me börk börk and not börk...

Hopefully not on the Vasa.
The Muppet writers have supposedly stated there really was no inspiration other than just pure goofiness.
It isn't when you're spelling børk properly.

Ouch, right in the feels. Maybe it wasn't so wise of me to raise awareness of the Vasa incident...

Ah ok, that would explan why I haven't managed to find the clip.

Because it's how 'Norwegian chef' would spell it? Hmm... Yes, like this developement. Now if we could just find a way to blame the Nowegians for IKEA...

Leave it to goglins to take a thread about breakfast cereal and turn it into a discussion about the differences between various Scandinavian dialects. Oh, the heights (and depths) we take this place to. The mind reels in horror.

To be fair, my Puzzlemaster's Investigations sign-up thread turned into a thread about Germans.

Godwin's Law almost kicked in:

What were they doing, trying to ban commas this time? Those evil umlauts. Something must be done.

That, would, mean, BradMan, couldn't, post, here.

They, can - have! our. punctuation = when they pry them from our cold/dead sentences?

I can't post because I don't eat cereal. The name alone reminds me of Cerulean City. Which reminds me of coral.
I eat bread/sandwiches but apparantly that doesn't count.

I think I might've found evidence of a cereal killer.

Oh look, there he is!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Do it quickly, and we MIGHT not shoot after you while you're doing it.
