Googling norks
In which we enjoy even more Googling fun and games.
Words. I love 'em. So, I Googled "norks," a British slang term that I originally heard from Auntie Marianne, a fellow (fellow?) yak supporter. And here's some of what I found...
Norks Dackservice - From what I can gather, my Swedish being non-existant, dack is Swedish for tire (or tyre for my British readers) and Norks are a brand name. The slogan on their website is Ratt dack till din bil! Or should that be Datt rack done killed Bill?
Nork Residents' Association - The ward of Nork falls within the boundaries of Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, in the North East of Surrey. Which is really funny to me as my grandfather was from Surrey. Could explain a couple of things, huh?
New Orleans Rhythym Kings - A 1920's jazz band, from what I can gather.
Nork Deddog - is a special character in the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe. He is an Ogryn, part of the Imperial Guard army.
And that's just from the first 10 hits.
What's that? Yes, I do have a job. Just far too much time on my hands, otherwise.

"This thread worthless without pictures."
Excellent!
I knew you'd say that!
I've just sent you a screen grab of the word verification I got.
I'm so predictable.
Yes, yes, you are.
But adorable nonetheless.
And I'll be posting that screen grab.
Now, how about an incisive web expose on the phrase "Jap's Eye?"
Awww! Thank you.
And I'll not be having Scaryduck's Jap's eye exposed on the web, thank you veh much.
Oh. Does that picture go in Misty's eye spies?
"Norks Residents' Association"
Is that a euphemism for a bra shop...?
I know one dack who'd like to service your norks...
Mr. Duck - Ahem. That would be terribly politically incorrect, sir. Not to mention excessively manky. ... *thinks* I'll do it!
TC - I just don't think so. But I've been wrong before *cough*marriage*cough* so don't pay any attention to me.
TRT - He says he's too tyred.
as i have said in the past all yaks should be set free FREE THE YAKS NOW
David, darling, it's too late. The Yaks, along with the badgers have unionized. They shall never, ever be free, but be forced to charge union rates from hereon in.
NOOOOOOOOOOOORKS!
P.S. I'm back.
Mine are now brown.
AM - And not before time, too. It's not been warm enough here for brown norks yet. Hope you had a good holiday!
