Translation needed

Anyone here speak Norwegian?  At least that is what I think this is: Heisan og hopsan og fallerallera.  Help.

Heisan og = Hello and???.  I can't figure the rest out.  Is the spelling correct?

Maybe "hoppsann og" instead of "hopsan og", but it still doesn't make sense, hoppsann  = skip true???  og = and.

I have no clue about what "fallerallera" is.  Maybe it's Swedish or Finnish?

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

From the Bing translator site: Dismemberment and hopsan and fallerallera.
 
Hope this helps.

It's missing some of the enhanced characters from the Norwegeian alphabet, so it either means "Merry Christmas and Good Health and Happy New Year", or "I would like to order pancakes with a side of axle grease", or "@#$#$% you F!$#!@ S(#%^##"
 
It's difficult to tell.

Thanks guys.  I had tried those same translation sites and got the same answers, which made no sense.  Anyway, it wasn't that important, but at least my wife and I got a good laugh out of Conan's reply.  That was funny--right there.

I got it from my Uncle who lived in Minnesota that it means "I would like to order pancakes with a side of axle grease".  BTW he sent the translation to me by way of a medium.
