Borgen The Blue

On this day in history...August 18, 1834...Great Norwegian botanist Borgen The Blue was determined to make a more aerodynamic pine cone in order for the Norwegians to better defend themselves against the Pine Coning Swedes. After years in the laboratory Borgen succeeded in making what is now known as the Norwegian Spruce Tree.

The Norwegian Spruce produced pine cones very similar to the shape of an American football. The first pine cone flowered this day in 1834 and the nutty Norwegians immediately planned an attack on the Swede's so that they could reunite the countries. What Borgen failed to realize is that the Norwegians were comparitively weak next to the massive much better looking Swede's...The pine cone's failed to travel much further than regular ones thrown by scrawny Norwegian arms. But the Swedes where bombastic, quick, and ravenous...In fact, never in history have pine cones been thrown so swiftly, so accurately, and so brutally.

The Norwegian's retreated back to the border, and during the night began to build yet another Howard Johnson. During the building, the Swede's brought on a swift surprise attack. The Norwegians, were driven all the way back to Oslo--and never again had the marbles to attack the far superior Swede's. Borgen was outcast; he never recovered and was thus named Borgen The Blue.
