Frank’s paranoia rages on as he checks the Swamp for booby traps. However, his suspicions may be confirmed when he sees two locals burying a large container just outside camp limits. Franks rounds up some enlisted men as a makeshift bomb squad and searches out the buried container. Fearing a powerful explosive, the container turns out to be a kimchi pot, one of millions buried all over Korea.

Best opened under water.
Interesting. He left his role as “Company Philosopher” off his LinkedIn bio.
Seems the glass is half full of snaps, Akvavit???
You can only tolerate it that way and supply yourself with beer as well as a chaser. The first and ONLY time I was introduced to this “specialty” of raw “food” I threw up even flushing it down with snaps/beers.
May I then please have some gravad laks, or smoke Salmon instead.
I think the word you are looking for is Schnapps. As for the rest, LOL! You make the whole surstromming ‘experience’ come vividly to life. Thanks for the insight. (And just think how strong that fish had to be, to actually raise the roof. The best comment on the whole thread was, ‘how drunk did the man have to be to think under the eaves was the best place to store surstromming’.)

That is my father inlaw, just add a beard.
They need to put a couple open cans in the “Black House to chase out this whole criminal administration!!!
Lol. The thought did occur to me, when I saw the man carrying the can with special equipment, while wearing a gas mask, that surstromming could be weaponized. Allow the cans to ferment to the point of near-explosion. Then lob a few hundred of them into the enemy camp. The opposing forces will be temporarily incapacitated by nausea/vomiting, allowing the attackers to sweep in and clean up unopposed.
