"Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills"
[Napoleon Dynamite]
[Replica Lewis Chessmen]
Kali [Kolsson] grew up showing great promise. Kali was of average height, well-proportioned and strong-limbed, and had light chestnut hair. He was very popular and a man of more than average ability. He made this verse:
At nine skills I challenge -
a champion at chess:
runes I rarely spoil,
I read books and write:
I'm skilled at skiing
and shooting and sculling
and more! - I've mastered
music and verse.
[Orkneyinga Saga, 58. Kali Kolsson]
