Billy :bc:<a href="https://beige.party/@bazkie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bazkie</a> Ok, just for you, (and so that I don't forget it)...First, I was somehow invited to a banquet at some fancy hotel somewhere. The banquet hall was a large ballroom type place, with a stage. Kind of art-deco, lots of curves, all white. Tall ceiling.The tables were long and rectangular, with white tablecloths and flower centerpieces and so forth. Attire was formal, some men in tuxedos. Women in ball gowns.I had gotten my food and was headed to my assigned table. I sat down in my place, which happened to be the "head" of that particular table. To my left and right were two attractive young women. Both brunettes, I believe. But as I'm happily married, and figured I didn't have anything in common with them anyway, I minded my own business as usual, and began eating while they had their discussion in front of me.The woman on the left was explaining her comic book collection to the other. This intrigued me, because I'm a nerd. So then I began paying attention.All of a sudden, a bookcase with her entire collection appeared to my left, and she pulled out her "prized" possession... a first edition X-Men #1, signed by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. She pulled it out gently with careful fingers, showed it to us with both hands, while looking suspiciously around the room, and then gingerly put it back onto the shelf.I had a vague idea in my head of it being worth something around $150,000,000. (In reality, it's only worth around $15,000).In any case, we begin talking about comic book collecting. The conversation continues and I tell them about my wife and family and my comic book collection, etc. It's a nice little conversation. Pleasant. Friendly.I mention off-hand, that it seems to me that it's rare that young attractive women are interested in vintage comic book collecting.--Record-scratch--- Everything stops.All of a sudden, at the next table over, Dana White, of the UFC, stands up and glares at me. Taken aback, I say, "What's up, Dana? What's the problem?"Dana White, of the UFC, proceeds to stalk over to me in his tuxedo, completely fired up, angry as a bull, and begins lecturing me about how sexist I am and how women are allowed to collect comic books, and that it's not rare, and that I should be ashamed of myself for even suggesting that it's out of the ordinary. He starts screaming that I was a sexist pig. He really wanted to hit me, but his thugs pulled him back.The two women attempt to defend me, telling Dana that there is no reason to get upset, and that they agreed with me, and that he's out of line and out of control and should go sit back down.Everyone's cooler heads prevail, and they go back to their table, Dana still glaring at me the whole time, and we all sit back down. At that point, I notice that my silver metal spy briefcase is sitting on the table in front of me. And I realize that I had better protect that case, otherwise Dana's thugs might take it and get what's inside.What's inside the briefcase, you ask? Poker chips. Just a generic set of nice poker chips so that I could play poker with the guys later that week. I was just carrying it around with me, for safe keeping. Because they're special, nice poker chips. Of course.At that point, I realized that I was late for the Mountain Bike race. (You know, as banquets often precede mountain bike races.)So I jump up to leave. The briefcase is still on the table, and another man at the table says he'll watch it for me, but that it's risky because Dana's thugs are still mad at me. But he'll do his best.Flash forward and I'm in the middle of a cross-country MTB race. I'm barrelling down a course with small hills and lots of blind turns. Essentially singletrack, but flanked on each side by tall, green opaque fencing. So it's a bit like riding through a hedge maze.Nobody can pass anyone. I remember thinking that this was a stupid layout for a race, because it's too tight and nobody can overtake. It's just impossible. So I settle in and just continue the race at a normal pace, and just try to enjoy it for the nice bike ride that it is. Riders behind me are furious.I get to the finish line and then ride straight back over to the banquet hall, ditching my bike on the floor as I run to the table to make sure my briefcase is still there.It's not there.I walk over and question Dana White's thugs. Dana is nowhere to be found. This leads to shouting, and the shouting leads to a fistfight. A classic barroom-brawl style fistfight. Real Cowboy stuff. Like, dudes swinging, and ducking and letting the other dude behind them receive the punch to the face. People being thrown over tables, hitting each other with chairs that instantly break apart, etc.I nope right out of there and high-tail it to my car. I open the hatchback and there, miraculously, is my briefcase. I don't know why or how, but I'm relieved and thankful. I close the hatch, hop in the driver's seat, and peel out of the parking lot.The end.Weird, right?<a href="https://beige.party/tags/ufc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ufc</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/mtb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mtb</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/mountainbiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mountainbiking</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/dreams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dreams</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/comics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comics</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/comicbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comicbooks</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#x</a>-men <a href="https://beige.party/tags/xmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmen</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/stanlee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stanlee</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/jackkirby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jackkirby</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexism</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/weird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weird</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/poker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poker</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/pokerchips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pokerchips</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/spy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spy</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/spythriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spythriller</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/spies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spies</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/spybriefcase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spybriefcase</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cowboy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cowboy</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cowboys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cowboys</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fisfights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fisfights</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fight</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fighting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fighting</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/brawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brawl</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/hatchback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hatchback</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/slapstick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slapstick</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/bikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikes</a>

Just kidding, your Swedish hosts will make you watch it whatever you say.No matter what you do on New Year's Eve in Sweden, there is one thing many parties have in common: an 11-minute television interlude to watch a black-and-white sketch in English called Dinner for One. Loved in Scandinavia and Germany; virtually unknown in the rest of the world.Dinner for who?Okay, let's start with the basics: The dinner is for Miss Sophie, the last member of an old English family.The sketch, also known as The 90th Birthday or as Grevinnan och betjänten in Swedish (The Countess and the Butler), is about the old lady's anniversary celebration in the dining room of her musty mansion.She – played by May Warden – is not actually a countess, made obvious by the fact that her Butler James – played by Freddie Frinton – keeps referring to her as "Miss", but Swedes aren't fussy about that sort of thing.When did this tradition start?The first time the programme aired on New Year's Eve in Sweden was in 1976 and it quickly gained a regular place in the TV schedule.The 1963 sketch was actually first broadcast in Sweden in 1969, but Swedish public broadcaster SVT was a bit iffy about the amount of alcohol drunk, mainly by the butler, although frankly Miss Sophie certainly seems like she can hold her own in that regard too.Why is the dinner only for one? Doesn't the old lady have any guests?Why yes, of course. Miss Sophie has invited her friends Sir Toby, Admiral von Schneider, Mr Pommeroy and Mr Winterbottom, but they all died some time ago.Not to be hindered by this slight setback, the dinner goes ahead as usual with Butler James pretending he is them to help keep Miss Sophie in good spirits.All men? What a saucy old granny…Well, some people say all of them have been former admirers. Unsuccessful ones, though. Butler James is the only one who gets lucky on an annual basis, but we'll get to that later.And what's so funny about the sketch?We'll explain this the way a Swede would.The comedy comes from Butler James taking the places of Sir Toby et al. First, in his capacity as butler, he has to serve all guests drinks for every course and, as none of them are actually there, for reasons that are not altogether clear he has to empty their glasses himself. James slips into the different personas and toasts Miss Sophie in each guest's appropriate way. For Admiral von Schneider, he clicks his heels together every time and salutes with a loud "Skol!" of the top of his voice. For Mr Winterbottom he puts on a northern English accent.And so on.The Swedes know the dialogue by heart, so prepare for them to recite it along with the actors.We're still waiting for the joke…So are we, but hang on. Because with every drink he slugs back, the usually reserved and refined demeanour of Butler James starts to slip as he slurs and stumbles his way around the table. Add to this an unfortunately positioned tiger skin rug, the head of which James has to overcome on his frequent trips to the bar. Appropriate for the slapstick era when it was made.Swedes find this hilarious and if it is your kind of thing, there is admittedly a certain charm of repetitive humour to it (you end up laughing prematurely not because he trips on the tiger's head, but because you know he is about to). But as one international resident in Sweden once told us: "The Swede sat in stitches while everyone else stared blank-faced. It was the most awkward thing I've ever done."And Miss Sophie?The old gal never leaves her place and is apparently totally oblivious about the butler's alcohol consumption and orders him to serve the respective courses: mulligatawny soup with sherry, haddock with white wine, chicken with champagne and fruit with port. "Same procedure as every year James."Mulligatawny-what? Doesn't sound like a Swedish dinner!Well, it isn't! The actors May Warden and Freddie Frinton first performed Dinner for One in the British seaside town Blackpool in 1962. German entertainer Peter Frankenfeld discovered the duo, brought them to Germany and the sketch was seen on his live show on regional public broadcaster NDR one year later.And how did it make its way to Sweden?There are two versions floating around – the original 18-minute NDR version which is shown every year in Germany and Denmark (in Denmark without the audience heard in the background). An 11-minute version was recorded by Swiss television – with less alcohol – which is shown in Sweden. It was snapped up by SVT's entertainment editor Åke Söderqvist in 1963, who first struggled to get permission to actually show it because of said alcohol consumption.It has been shown every year on New Year's Eve since 1976, apart from 2004 when it was cancelled as a mark of respect for the hundreds of thousands who died in the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.What do the Brits have to say about all this?Surprising to most Scandinavians and Germans – who consider the skit quintessential British humour – Brits only know it exists courtesy of trivia shows and the like. Most find the significance it has for its fellow Europeans and the place it holds in their hearts rather perplexing.Oh, what was that with the butler getting lucky?Or perhaps it's Miss Sophie getting lucky, we're watching it in gender equal Sweden after all.In the last scene, she gets ready for bed and calls over her shoulder for James one last time while climbing up the staircase to her bedroom.He slurs: "The same procedure as last year?" and Miss Sophie answers "The same procedure as every year." With James winking at the camera and promising he'll do his best (and after all that booze, we don't fancy his chances), they both go upstairs together.
