Føkk Deg, Roald Amundson

If Memory Swerves™, 'twas on this day in history, January 17, 1912, that Royal Navy Captain Robert Falcon Scott survived immeasurable odds to become what was thought to be the first man to reach the South Pole — only to discover that the underhanded Norwegian Roald Amundsen had conspired to set a course that found him arriving on site a month earlier, handily beating the noble Englishman. Adding grievous insult to injury, a dejected Falcon Scott and his four heroic comrades tragically expired on the return trek, whilst the wretched Weegians revelled from midnight sun-up to sundown, guzzling glögg, howling at the moon and flagellating themselves like undignified, pagan beasts. To commemorate this day of devious triumph, all of Britannia extends a proper, one-fingered salute to the scheming Viking brute: "Føkk deg, Roald Amundsen, you filthy Nørsk køllesugeren."
