They made a beleiber out of someone today.

I assume class was canceled so the children could be evacuated to a safe distance.

Q. Why doesn't Justin Bieber buy sporting goods at Sports Authority?
A. because he likes Dicks

-it came from the third grade

Last time he was here it was an absolute madhouse downtown.

Took me an hour and a half to buy a hunk of meat from the butcher for dinner.

Saw this yesterday, but the story stated that the exams had been postponed, not canceled.

At least it wasn't Varg this time

Perducci		2013-04-04 06:24:33 PM

Shouldn't this make testing easier?

Just make the exams one question:
"On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "None whatsoever" and 10 being "Oh my god, hold me back! Yaaaay", how do you rate your interest in Bieber?"

The higher the student's number, the lower their grade.

I think he only plays churches now.

BEER_ME_in_CT		2013-04-04 06:49:29 PM

Well there are 2 ways to handle it I guess... The right way, and the NOr-way.

maxheck		2013-04-04 06:54:09 PM

Could be worse. The entirety of Kathmandu (~ 1 million people) shut down when Bryan Adams came to town.

Let that sink in. Bryan Adams.

Cuts like a kukuri...

cool shirt

AdolfOliverPanties		2013-04-04 07:02:15 PM

If only they had moved that fast when Anders Breivik came to town.

Forget Norway.

maxpower007		2013-04-04 07:55:55 PM

I haven't seen this much excitement since Nick Rivers came to my small town in Germany.

/Nick, I've tried everything: the embassy, the German government, the consulate. I even talked to the U.N. ambassador. It's no use, I just can't bring my wife to orgasm.

FloridaFarkTag		2013-04-04 08:06:50 PM

Remember everything is 50X more expensive in Norway... so they have to acquiese to the kids who paid 100,000 NKr for each Bieber ticket

BlackDebbie		2013-04-04 08:36:25 PM

Why don't they just fail everyone who doesn't show up? That's what would happen in the real world.

Was it a benefit concert like this one by the Africans ? They say it is really cold up there

I showed that to my Mother and Grandmother (both straight outta Norway) and Mom was laughing. Grandma was yelling something about stupid people shovel sidewalks, Norwegians don't.

/I lol'd

The Snow Dog		2013-04-05 12:26:48 AM

Forced?

The Snow Dog		2013-04-05 12:32:20 AM

This should be the test:

Have the exam at the same time as the concert. Nuke the concert. If you're alive to come to class the next day: they hand you a diploma and admit you to college. Congrats! You passed!

What? You're dead farking wrong.
"In the real world" you'd say "I'm sorry, there's a scheduling conflict. Is it okay if we move the meeting to next wednesday instead?"

The pupils applied to have the midterms moved, the administration saw ono good reason not to move the midterms: Midterms moved. Tadaa.

Why be an asshole when you don't have to?

Norwegian Squirrel		2013-04-05 06:07:44 AM

To be fair, the reaction from us Norwegians was also "Wait, what? Why?" and we laugh about it.

But yeah, the last time he was here the hordes pretty much destroyed downtown Oslo. Including standing on cars to try to get a look at their idol.
