Global warming: taking a toll on the Icelandic farming industry...

...causing the hot, steamy farmers to sit around nude in haystacks:
"You can leave your hat on..."

Note: After posting this, I found a condensed English version of this story at Iceland Review. In a nutshell, farming and tourism haven't too lucrative for these guys so they've resorted to Plan B. Oh, and ladies -- there will be a calender too!

  2. Winner is Shane! LOL

    I use Chrome as my default browser, which has the Translate feature built in. This is how my version looked:
    TOTAL BERIT FARMERS GO ALL THE WAY WITH A FULL ERECTION

    Awesome.

    Basically, these farmers in North Iceland are doing their own version of the "Full Monty" albeit mainly for an audience of elderly folks. Oh, and they're practicing their stripping routine in a church. Only in Iceland ;')

  3. This, courtesy of Google Translate, was from an apartment listing last fall when I was looking:

    "A beautiful three-bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor apartment in a low testicles."

    A bit later in the same listing,

    "Spacious kitchen with a recent stove with stove. Children's room with linoleum floor, bleeding in the closet."

  4. Farmers feet must be the ultimate turn for Icelandic women which explains the shoes. Maybe they had tolio as children. They all seem to have gotten over kneesles, but its hard to say if they ever had smallcocks.

  5. When did Icelandic folk get so fat?

    ps. Jon is funny. Regardless, something about this is disturbing me.

  6. Still disturbed and it's because several of them have bigger boobs than I do. And also because some poor animals have to eat that hay, right?

  7. @Deon - I just love apartments with low testicles. Although personally I wish our apartment had higher testicles. And don't get me starting about the bleeding in the closets...
    @Jon - You had me at "smallcocks".
    @Rani - Yup you're right. Icelanders are getting fat, really fat. In rural areas especially where fruits and veggies are far more expensive (and limited) than hot dogs and ice cream cones. In fact, Iceland ranked #7 fattest country in the world last year according to the OECD: http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2010/09/28/iceland-loves-breaking-world-records-but-not-all-are-good/
    Of course, your Icelandic in-laws will never tell you this because it flies in the face of the Miss Universe image ;') So you'll have yourself plenty of manboobs and unfortunate spandex encounters when you're here for a visit. Still plenty of annoyingly skinny blondes too.

  8. Hey there,

    I was thinking of moving to Iceland with my BF next year we would both be studying as undergrads at the U of I.

    I was wondering if we could email just to get a bit of info and maybe some advice seeing as you've obv been there and done that :)
