"SOMEONE ASKING FOR OLAF. AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ANTI-PROFILING CLAUSE OF THE HYPERSENSITIVE APPEASEMENT ACT, I HAVE TO ASK...WHICH ONE OF YOU IS OLAF?"
You, with the Red Beard and horned helmet you’re Olaf right? * Now, now, now… mustn’t stereotype. We have to be PC or we risk being called racist… and since the bartender is white he’s the only racist there…
OK, not that it’s any of my business, but is the Vietnamese girl with Olaf or the other guy? But, I can’t help but think the mobs got something going on in Alaska….

Actually, asking makes sense. Where would you ever have that collection of costumes except at a costume party? And anybody can wear anything at a costume party (I think of Raj on The Big Bang Theory dressed as Thor).
Kinda misses the point of what “profiling” is. If the caller had said, “there’s a terrorist at your bar”, and the bartender had instantly pulled out a gun and shot the guy on the left, that’s profiling.
NORSE HELMS DID NOT, NOT, NOT HAVE BLOODY (or any other conditioned) HORNS!!!!!Horns were first created for Wagnerian Opera in the 1870s, before that they were represented with the equally unattested wings.The only horned head gear is in a ritualistic context (as in the ‘sword dance’ decorations on the Sutton Hoo Mound 1 grimhelm)If you think about it, the last thing you are going to want on your head in battle is some great excrescences that will channel downward blows towards your shoulders. That’s why, as in Beowulf they had “helmes hrof … wirum bewunden walu utan heold”So there!!
@Seiko…..Can Pierre of the North co-exist with Olaf? And will the wonder sled dog King get his own kibble? Tune in tomorrow for the next mind boggling episode!!!
A Ghanaian friend of mine insists that HE is “black”……. while people in other countries with African ancestry are merely “coloured”. And he is one of the blackest-skinned people I’ve met.
Generally, racism is a term used by politicians and other social charlatans in order to get on the good side of a mob from which they hope to get something, usually money or power. It is difficult to fail when your goal is prey on the gullible.
@exoticdoc2-I highly recommend you invest in a dictionary and look up the word, “liberal”, then kindly explain to us why you anyone defined as such is so repugnant to you.
No. Racism is alive and well. It is the process of seeing people as groups instead of as individuals.You just don’t realize that because your enlightened perspective renders you unable to view people as groups of objects to be owned and manipulated rather than as individual sentient beings equal to yourself.
