In the spirit of Political Correctness that has recently been discussed on
the list, I would like to share with you some of the ethnic slurs directed
at me, a chubby Norwegian-American.  In our quest to be sensitive and
considerate there is always one group left out; Norwegian-Americans.

These are the ones that hurt the most.

Ice-man
Frosty the Fatman
Norgie Porgie Puddin' pie
Fat-Boy
Rudolph, the fat faced Reindeer.
Michelin Man on Skis
The Bulbous Blonde

Let the healing begin.
