It began with Hookbill trying to impress us Germans by speaking in our native tongue, but his efforts didn't go much further than "Das ist (k)eine Wurst" (or so he claimed). How and why that developped into a running gag is a quantum level mystery that defies exact reconstruction, and experts are still divided on whether or not Jon Snow had anything to do with it; they agree, however, that Squatter was definitely involved.

As to the Mr Cool rivalry, I'm afraid I'll have to abstain from voting, having lost my impartiality together with my heart to a certain Swede on the ship back from Tallinn (sorry, Volo!). But I can safely say that whatever Volo's hat is made of, the hats of both contestants have been worn by an entire universe of people.
