Interrupting Chicken

I don't think that Swedes like it when you interrupt them. They'll sort of look at you and keep talking.

It's too bad, since I think it's a pretty good way of talking. When you think of something good to say, you just start to say it, as long as the other person isn't saying something very good themselves.

PS I got some hiking boots for Iceland, and have places to stay for 4/7 nights. If some awesome couchsurfers get back to me soon, maybe I won't have to sleep in bus terminals for those three nights!

That reminds of this calvin and hobbes comic where calvin talks about how conversations are a game where you get points by interrupting and completely changing the direction of the conversation.

I tried to find the actual strip, but there aren't many calvin and hobbes comics online.

I agree that interrupting is a good way of talking, but sometimes you have to be able to overpower the other person
