knot or <strong>knute <\/strong>makes sense when you think of how these items are presented on a <strong>Russ-<\/strong> strung on the tassle of the hat for all to marvel at.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard about what kind of tasks these young daredevils seek to complete, you are probably getting antsy by now.\u00a0\u00a0Many of the things young\u00a0<strong>Russ <\/strong>do today to earn <strong>knuter<\/strong>\u00a0are actually quite controversial due to the nature of the tasks.\u00a0 Some involve public nudity, elicit sexual acts, and outright bodily harm\u00a0due to alcohol, most commonly.\u00a0 There are of course more tame\u00a0ways to earn <strong>knuter<\/strong>\u00a0that don&#8217;t cause so much worry among parents and police.<\/p>\n<p>The following is a list of examples of knots that <strong>Russ <\/strong>have been known to accomplish:<\/p>\n<p>Have sex outdoors or in the forest (<strong>Ha sex utend\u00f8rs eller i skogen) <\/strong>which earns you a stick or a pine cone.<\/p>\n<p>Spend the night in a tree (<strong>Overnatt i et tre) e<\/strong>arns a stick from the tree.<\/p>\n<p>Eat a big mac in 4 bites (<strong>Spis en big mac i fire biter) <\/strong>earns a piece of the box the burger came in.<\/p>\n<p>Buy condoms or tampons\u00a0without talking\u00a0(<strong>kj\u00f8p kondomer eller tamponger uten \u00e5 snakke) e<\/strong>arns a piece of the item bought.<\/p>\n<p>Drink a bottle of wine in 20 minutes (<strong>drikk ei flaske vin i 20 minutter) <\/strong>earns the wine cork.<\/p>\n<p>Crawl through the supermarket while barking and biting customers legs (<strong>krabb gjennom matbutikken mens man bjeffer og biter bein til kunder) <\/strong>earns a dog biscuit.<\/p>\n<p>Crawl on one&#8217;s hands and knees for an entire school day (<strong>Krabb p\u00e5 hender og kne hele skoledagen) <\/strong>earns a toy.<\/p>\n<p>Be sober for the entire <strong>Russ <\/strong>period (<strong>V\u00e6r edru hele russetiden) <\/strong>earns a fizzy drink cork.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0doubt that last one is completed all too often.\u00a0 If you could imagine yourself at that age, participating in such a celebration and you were in charge of
