I figured it would be a T-Shirt commemorating the 1908 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs, with the saying, “...And there’s more where that came from.”

To be honest, while some of them were poignant in context, most of them read like some weird fusion of Kafka, Sesame Street and Perry Mason scripts.

God!!! Even the images of lutefisk brings back the vivid memory of the stench. 100 years of aging would not improve the product. Now, leftsa, that’s another matter.

A sample of Saucy Jack's liver recipe?

Looks like it's heavy on the nutmeg.

The best comment at the website is that it contains a smaller package labeled to be opened Aug 24th, 2112.

Here is what the singing and other stuff was celebrating:

“Battle of Kringen”

“The Battle of Kringen (Norwegian: Slaget ved Kringen) was a battle perpetrated by a Norwegian peasant militia against Scottish mercenary soldiers who were on their way to enlist in the Swedish army for the Kalmar War.”

“The battle has since become a part of folklore in Norway, giving names to local places in the Otta region.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kringen

Picture of the small town of Otta.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otta,_Norway

“For better or for worse, the unveiling came as part of the 400th celebration of a battle in which the townspeople of Otta defeated Scottish soldiers hired by Sweden during its war against Denmark-Norway.”

“Update: The curators returned to the stage without the secret for time travel. Instead, the package contents seem to be primarily concerned with the construction of a monument to celebrate the victory in 1612.”
