After the power to choose a man wants the power to erase. --Stephen Dunn
Canada sends navy to remote, uninhabited arctic island to stake its claim over the Danes.
Personally, I'd like to see this thing go hot, just for fun. Come on, a war between Hans Christian Andersen and Mike Myers in the icelands of North America! What's not to like?

I remember a time, back in the late 90s, when I thought nonsense like this mattered somewhat more than I do now. Now I see well-educated people yammering about the birth control choices of their daughters, or gay marriage, and I think they are morons.
I can't really conceive of them fighting. More like talking earnestly for several months.

Mastodons, mastodons, mastodons. O mastodons.
Oh, come on. Things could get heated. I'm thinking it could come to memos being sent. (As long as they were translated into a number of languages, so no minority group felt left out.)

I have a rule that says my clothing will not weigh more than I do.
...and then more memos, clearing up translation errors in the first set. Then maybe a committee or two.

Really, don't joke. They sent the might of the Canadian Navy to Hans Island.
FEAR US, BITCHES!
Too bad they can't roll up with one of these:

Never. If nothing else, these people are childsafe.

It's wonderful to be here; it's certainly a thrill.
Instead of all your childish musings, I suggest you Americans pay attention to how adults solve disputes.
I expect Canada to back down shortly. Or else.

Mastodons, mastodons, mastodons. O mastodons.
Or else...you threaten us with an army of tiny, kneeless soldiers with yellow cylindrical heads?

I do not threaten anything. It won't be necessary. Canadians are sensible people.
I just note that if they were to depart from their habitual and time-honoured sensibility, which they are surely not, they will find that that is indeed what they have done. But they won't.

The Viking in me is fully displayed above. He speaks in Havamål.

I'm in with the In Crowd, baby. I go where the In Crowd goes.
Arrrrrrr, we'll kill the bastards and then steal all their Georg Jensen cutlery and Gravad Lax! Don't underestimate us when we're cranky.

Sto, I'm rooting for Denmark. Come kick Canada's ass. We'll push them out from under our skirt for the duration. It'll be fun!

It seems there are other claimants:
Hans Island Liberation Front
I suspect they're a front for the Canadians. First, their suspiciously Canadian-like language, second their darkly conspicuous application of the loaded term "Danish-occupied Greenland".

I have a claim too. I called dibbs on the first available island several years ago. I'm going to show up with my bass boat and shotgun and whip both your asses.
Is it nice and icy!? So much to fight over!

Jeepers, mention your bass boat and shotgun and the Danes and Canucks scram.
