Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor - the Prequel

Gee...im sorry! I didn't know it would be such a hit, but the family loved! I'd send some but I don't think it would taste the same when it got there.

"Lutefisk with cream sauce, lefsa and rommegrot" is what exactly?????

la petite demac camion

schickenlady.....the small truck????

Barbecued grubs.

yuk! Victor...how bout something mouthwatering.....not gagging.

Celeste - lutefisk is fish jello, more or less. Only for the brave of heart.

Not that brave then. lol

OK - here's some "lutefisk humor" for you:

Quote from Garrison Keillor's book Lake Wobegon Days:
"Every Advent we entered the purgatory of lutefisk, a repulsive gelatinous fishlike dish that tasted of soap and gave off an odor that would gag a goat. We did this in honor of Norwegian ancestors, much as if survivors of a famine might celebrate their deliverance by feasting on elm bark. I always felt the cold creeps as Advent approached, knowing that this dread delicacy would be put before me and I’d be told, "Just have a little." Eating a little was like vomiting a little, just as bad as a lot."

Interview with Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything (translated quote from a 1999 article in Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet:)
"Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction. It is currently the only exception for the man who ate everything. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal, I gladly eat worms and insects, but I draw the line on lutefisk."

"Lutefisk is the Norwegians' attempt at conquering the world. When they discovered that Viking raids didn't give world supremacy, they invented a meal so terrifying, so cruel, that they could scare people to become one's subordinates. And if I'm not terribly wrong, you will be able to do it as well."

The Ole and Lena joke books make frequent references to lutefisk, for example:
Well, we tried the lutefisk trick and the raccoons went away, but now we've got a family of Norwegians living under our house!

Or this variation of O Tannenbaum:
O lutefisk, O lutefisk, how pungent your aroma / O lutefisk, O lutefisk, you put me in a coma

Well said Pirl

Good grief!

Good grief is better than great lutefisk.

Oy!

Hate to be coherent here but this was the thread where the Patriots were cheered on Sunday. SHAME!!!!!!! Cheaters. Not only the illegal camera but something with the radio frequencies used too. As if any of this was necessary against the Jets!

You are right Victor, I don't like any of that stuff. If they prove it I hope they check all the teams, I have a feeling it is pretty widespread and they all know it. They have been stealing signs in baseball forever. I also heard even if it is true it would not have been any help really in that game because of the time factor. They should also make a rule when coaches and players leave one team they can't take a copy of the playbook and signals with them.

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza.

We need a lutefisk forum.

And a T-shirt.

Wear the lutefisk, eat the shirt.

It would have to taste better than the lutefisk.

We're the lutefisk!

You are the walrus

The walrus was appalled.

The hyena laughed.

a shot rang out.

Fired in anger?

Hurray! They got the deer!

Hey Bullmoose, are you OK ? Rocky

Bullwinkle??

After Bullmoose ate the lutefisk he changed his name to Bullwinkle.

Teddy Roosevelt

Clicked twice before I clicked once. Never saw her hand go for the mouse or moose

Bully!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

Old movie: Teddy yelled charge with his bugle and dug the Panama Canal in the cellar. Good flick.

Arsenic and Old Lace???

Yes - that's a great one. Cary Grant's one of my favorites.

Tea anyone?

One flew over the Cucoo's nest?

Cocktails at 6 PM.

Great! I'll take a Pirl Harbor please.
