I'm just askin...
I suppose there are several definitions for "settle"...
Oh yeah, that'll work!
I've even figured out what kind of beer Gimli might get over there.
'Course, that looks like a drunk elf, tell you the truth.
Nana prob'ly needs some Ringnes Extra.
There is a lot written about lutefisk:
To understand the relationship between aquavit and lutefisk, here's an experiment you can do at home. In addition to aquavit, you will need a slice of lemon, a cracker, a dishtowel, ketchup, a piece of lettuce, some caviar, and a Kit-Kat candy bar.
1. Take a shot aquavit.
2. Take two. (They're small.)
3. Put a bit of caviar on a bit of lettuce.
4. Put the lettuce on a cracker.
5. Squeeze some lemon juice on the caviar.
6. Pour some ketchup on the Kit-Kat bar.
7. Tie the dishtowel around your eyes.
If you can taste the difference between caviar on a cracker and ketchup on a Kit-Kat while blindfolded, you have not had enough aquavit to be ready for lutefisk. Return to step one.
The first real sign of trouble was when a plate arrived and was set in front of my host, sitting to my left. It contained a collection of dark and aromatic food stuffs of a variety of textures. Having steeled myself for an encounter with a pale jelly, I was puzzled at its appearance, and I leaned over to get a better look.
"Oh," said my host, "that's not lutefisk. I changed my mind and ordered the juletid plate. Its is pork and sausages."
I read that article before I think... it was pretty funny.
I was planning on starting with the rest of the kids in the area (Aug 7). I had all the books, except for one - and it's still backordered. I just wasn't ready emotionally to start yet.
We had just done some heavy genealogy for a family reunion in July, and we have another reunion this weekend that I have been getting ready for, as well. So, I just postponed school until Sept 5th. (I am such a geek. Last night I bought one of those 1gig USB flash drives to store all my genealogy data so I can update it and save pictures, documents, and such when I am not at home.)
That's too bad about C. Our new group, SAIL, is doing very well. I am amazed at how well it's doing in it first official month!
Thought he was long gone.
Years ago, thought he was Harrison's dad.
Liked this one: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
I don't know who he was... is anyone surprised?
(Tag update...how's yours?)
Tagline's getting better every day. Yours?
Keeps getting bigger...'cuz that's the goal.. One of these days it'll be a countdown. Maybe one of these days I'll go back to smart-aleck remarks and other tag-line traditions.
Let me just say when you have to count down from, say, 230, that sucks.
Counting down from 9 ain't so bad.
Outta here...still have to work for a living. Have a good one.
So... my graduate courses started this weeks. I'm doing a satellite campus/distance learning program thing. The professor they scare up to teach my little economics course is a doctoral candidate at George Mason Univ. "Neat!," says I. "You wouldn't happen to know Dr. Walter E. Williams..." "Why of course! He's one of my professors," says the professor. Teeheee. I feel like I was in the presence of greatness especially since every other bullet in the lecture was a W.E.W. quote. :) :) :) :) :)
I saw the picture before I saw the RIP.
I had no idea he was still around.
Cool! Yer takin' a class where you might actually learn somethin' !!!
