Happy Birthday Norway
Today is the day when Norway yelled a big fat ”Screw You!” to Denmark and Sweden and got his own constitution.
No country celebrates it’s independent day like Norway. You Americans may think you do a pretty good job a celebrating yours, but you’ve got nothing on Norway. This is what May 17 looks like in the land of the midnight sun [link] Lots of flags and national costumes.
Like my Norwegian co-worker ones said, “You stand around in your national costume that is way too hot and sings songs louder than you would ever dare on a normal day, and yet you feel so proud”
The Danish radio station I listen to at work celebrated it by playing Norwegian music all morning.
PS: Yes, that cake does indeed taste like fish, because that is how Sweden makes food. Norway loved it, and Denmark just ate buns.

I was some years at the 17th Mai in Norway...too many national flags for a German. oO
The people go totally crazy, but in a positive way.

I like the way Norway gained independence from Sweden: We let them vote for it. Something like twelve people voted for Swedish rule, according to the histories. This came as a complete surprise to the Swedish king. As much as I'm cautious of nationalistic ideals, I have to admire the sense of unity I get from the people of Norway; they seem to really care about each other, as a group.

Truth. The 4th of July is our national excuse to light fireworks and overcrowd parking lots with lawn chairs, junk food and booze. Oh and to shoot guns (in far away, remote areas, to be sure!)
When my Danish family told me that some Danes celebrate the 4th, I was really confused. We came to the conclusion that Danes, like Americans, use the 4th as an excuse to blow shit up. I mean, have you seen New Year's in Denmark?! Now there's a fire hazard.

To be honest, I don't really enjoy watching fireworks as much as I did when I was a kid.
I don't think our celebration for Independence Day really shows our pride for our country; it just shows how much we love to blow things up.

Typical.

I'm sure it's been said before me, but the 17th of May is not our Independance Day. It's our Constitution Day. Our Independence Day (from the union with Sweden) is 7th of June. But very few people know that, because we don't really celebrate it.

Oh, now I've got party envy! One day, we WILL have our independence day, and then look out Norway! We'll make you look like a party-pooper.

Is it really? I'm so used to be ashamed if I go all patriotic on Independence Day. In Asian country, we can display flags, sing patriotic song on events, but everything needs to be moderate or we'll end up being the freak on local TV. You can say we're bunch of ungrateful dumbass

If you wanna see more of the norwegians celebrating, check out this video: [link] its from the MTV show "Dexpedition", when they visit Oslo
Like Humon says, it beats any other national celebration!

Excuse me, I'm not sure if someone said it, but the link doesn't work unless you have a Wordpress account, and redirects from DeviantArt...
Otherwise, great comic
