This is the Constitution Day of Norway. On may 17th 1814 the Norwegian Constitution was signed at Eidsvoll, Norway. The day is celebrated throughout the country, with mainly children's parades. The children are to be the center of celebration on the constitusional day in Norway, as they are the nation's future. This is in the spirit of poet Henrik Wergeland, who was the one who took the initiative to celebrate this day. The parades usually consist of the children from the local school districts, corps music and "russ" - which is high school grad students who traditionally wear overall outfits in different colors - representing the type of education they have finished - and of course tons of beautiful Norwegian flags! Many consider the uniquest part of the 17th may celebration to be the total absence of military parading. May 17th is also celebrated in Norwegian communities throughout the world. In the evening the children go to bed - exhausted from walking in the parade all day and eating tons of ice- cream, and the graduation students and other grown ups party like hell until morning.
Norwegian National Anthem(1st. verse) sung on May 17 :
"yes we love this country as it rises
rugged, weathered, above the water in the thousands of homes
love, love to think, of our father and mother
and the saga nights sends, dreams to our soil!
yes the saga night that sends, sends dreams to our soil!"
"yes we love this country as it rises
rugged, weathered, above the water in the thousands of homes
love, love to think, of our father and mother
and the saga nights sends, dreams to our soil!
yes the saga night that sends, sends dreams to our soil!"

Hannah-May's are cute and funny. They are so easy to talk to and love having fun. They are mysterious, they don't open up to just anyone. They usually have brown curly hair and hazel eyes. Don't ever wrong one though, oh no. For that will be the end of you!

The act of shouting out everything you do during the course of a sexual encounter. The key to the successful execution of "The Billy Mays" is to, at a moment of particular intensity, shout "The secret's in the ___(insert sexual act, nickname, or body part here)!!"
"I'm putting my thumb in your butt!!!" =The Billy Mays
"My shaft is halfway home!!" =The Billy Mays
"The secret's in the money shot/penetration/honey hole/meat basket!!" =Perfect Billy Mays
