lutefisk ....eeeeuugheeeeuuuugheeeeugh....
O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma.
You smell so strong, you look like glue
You taste yust like an overshoe
But Lutefisk, come Saturday
I tink I'll eat you anyvay...
Looks OK to me! Nice, clear, and nothing fussy.
What is this for, though? I'm not completely clear on the publishing stuff to the web thing...is this so we can share our stories with one another, or for submitting to NaNoWriMo for verification?
Glad you're back safe OT...
Yeah, that's what my brother says too, though at the time we were discussing the book and what Aragorn had to put up with, not the relative merits of Eowyn and Arwen as portrayed in the movie. ;-)
So whatcha think? I've got the dwarvlings sold on the idea that we can buy the DVD when it comes out, and wait to catch it free on Base...
I probably shouldn't be posting a question before reading the rest of the thread...ignore me if you answered this later!
What kind of Celtic music? Who are your favorite musicians / groups?
I like Hank, too...got a bunch of his stuff. They're among my favorite albums to put on in the car and sing along with, yodeling included. ;-) And as a guitarist, I love the fact that most of his songs are just three or four chords...and how much he could put into a song that musically is fairly simple.
I have a weird variety of stuff...everything from big band jazz, crooners from the 40s and 50s and Hank...all the way to Scottish rock (Wolfstone), traditional Irish music and opera. Don't have really any rock, though, and I know very little about 70s and 80s music (except a few country songs). That's probably the biggest hole in my knowledge of popular music.
Very cool! And St. Paul's is beautiful...I've been there. Went down to Worcester one night to go to an Anthony Kearns concert (he's one of three guys billed as the Irish Tenors, if any of you know who they are), and went to St. Paul's for Mass the next day.
Hopefully as I get further down I'll find your report...if not, you'd better post one!
I swear the deer here know when it's Sunday... saw a huge buck (by Northern VA standards) with a great rack just browsing carelessly on the shoulder of HWy 1 100 feet from the South gate onto the base...
still don't have one in the freezer yet...I've never been blanked this late into the season... I'm seein' deer, and gettin close...I just haven't had a shot yet... my buddy got a nice 9 pointer Friday... I'm happy for him... now it's my turn...
Embrace the power of the Dark Side!
I have that! Is it one of his earliest books? I found it amusing, but not really because of the story, I admit. ;-) I just thought it was funny how caught up he gets in scientific jargon and explanations. And the uncle in the story drove me crazy...didn't like him at ALL, though he's supposed to be sort of the hero! Plus my brothers and I picked apart his writing skills - there are plenty of sentences (I'm thinking of one in particular, but I'd have to look it up) that you have to read over and over to get his meaning because they are written so badly.
I've only read a few of his books (Time For the Stars is his, right?) and most of the stories are entertaining, but I have to force myself not to analyze his writing. ;-)
Ugh...I had that Saturday, which meant I accomplished almost NOTHING this weekend...Sunday is pretty much family day, so Saturday is my day to clean and work on projects around the house.
Hope you feel better today!
Believe me, he wanted to do more than that. But Mom is on the warpath and we're determined to have the league address it. That kid knew what he was doing and someone taught him to do that.
Jr. handled it pretty well though. By the time we were in the ER I was able to joke with him. Although I when reminded him that we were missing the reunion luncheon becuase of his football game he didn't really think it funny that I said I could've broken his finger for him on Friday...
g'nad - according to the ER Dr., it's a pretty serious break. It's right at the knuckle line. We're calling this a.m. to get a consult with the orthopedic doctor. But the ER Dr said to consider him out for the season.
Moving on to catch up on posts for Hair's entertainment...
I'd heard rumors... dark, disturbing rumors of the existence of a foul substance called lutefisk... then one Christmas party back in the early 90s, I came face to face with the horror...
The Norwegian exchange officer that lived on our block invited us over... when I saw the lutefisk, I said "This is some kinda joke, right? You don't really eat this crap?"... And thus evaporated any chance I had at ever working for the Diplomatic Office or State Dept...
