#5 "Breaking news - Tiger Woods forfeits 'World's Stupidist Man' award to Jonas Bergstrom."

No shit. This guy takes "thinking with the wrong head" to new heights. Sweden's English-language daily, TheLocal.se, has an article on the Danish babe he went astray with:

Princess hit by relationship rumours

#10 You gotta feel sorry for Madeleine.

I mean to go through life being called a "princess." That's gotta be hard.

#11 Uppstrøm Berg said she met Bergström at a nightclub in Åre, where he was attending a friend's stag night.
Whatever happened to the rule: "whatever happens at a stag night, stays at the stag night"
This talking out of school could lead to the end of a venerated tradition.
I hope someone spills the beans about her hen's night if she ever is lucky enough to have one.

#16 This is one thing I really don't get about guys. Why is it when they go out catting around they almost always get someone who is at least two notches below what they have waiting for them at home?

(Yeah, I read gromky's comment, but still....ew.)

#17 Silkie__ There's old slang about "getting some strange". Of course, this seems to be a case of `way strange'.

#19 According to my fiance, who met Madeleine at a function in Sweden and has been following this story, that's a really bad picture of the 'strange'.
She dated this guy, who came from 'higher society', and was approved of by her parents.
Her sister, who's dating a 'low society' boyfriend, is not so approved, but then again he's not pulling a Tiger Woods.
I can't tell you how much the Swedes love their royal family. More than the Brits, definitely.
This guy might swim with cement overshoes.

/Madeleine is hotness

#20 'She', meaning Madeleine. The breakup is now official, but there's been buzz about this for awhile.

#21 THAT is what he cheated on her with? Seriously?

Yeah, Jesse James just lost his title as the most stupid unfaithful man in the world.

What was he thinking?

#22 Ah, Mrs Spook says I am asking the wrong question, so let me amend my question:

What was he thinking with?

No idea.

If I tried that, I'd get caught.

#24 Was it Paul Neuman who said something like, "Why would I go out for hamburger when I have steak at home?"

#25 Cornsilk Blondie --- M'Lady and I were talking about this type of thing last week. Some guys are not satisfied with a beautiful, smart, wise lady. They like the high intensity of certain relationships. The amazing high, though followed by bad sh*t arguments and fighting. They like the bad girls, so to speak. I think Lawyer Boy is probably this type. A Front of Respectability can only carry you so far. Madeline could do better.

I vote for Deacon, Melvin votes for Deacon. It is unanimous. Send a letter of introduction.

#28 Thanks for the vote AP. By the way, Melvin found out about digging today. He dug a very righteous hole down where the tractor shed blew down.

#29 When Bergström met Uppstrøm Berg at the nightclub, I bet he said to her:
"hey, if we transpose your name, we end up with my name and guess what I'm doing?"
At that she should have slapped his face and walked away.

#31 Madeleine can take comfort that her near-sighted alley-cat of an ex-fiancee is now a global laughingstock.
Of course, she could also find comfort at my house. (Hey, I'm old but not dead and it never hurts to extend the invitation.)
