ayyyyyyy there
Hey, I was just wonderving If they vas any Norvegions out vhere?
My vife is halve Norvegion. My mudder in law is a norsky.
I only ask this because today we went to the Sons of Norway, Lutefisk festival today in Boulder City Nevada. What a hoot. I think those Norwegions are certified. Lutefisk tastes like clear no taste jello with a bone or two in it. But after several Jack and cokes, and some nasty Norwegion straight shot stuff, it wern't to bad. (why does the computer screen keep going sideways?)
Just wondering if any of you have a Norweigen culture?

Norska, nej. But I spent some time in Sveden as a teen and got over to Norway a couple of times. Beautiful country, dot's fer shoor...
A little story: I was in the town of Lilhammer for midsummer's eve (a big deal over there) and went to the open air museum for the big doings. Somebody told us to check out the Norwegian fireworks display down by the lake (a small pond, actually) at midnight so we meandered over that way as the hour approached. Found a good spot to sit on the shore along with a few hundred other folks and waited for the show to start. At one point someone lit a raft piled with firewood and pushed it out into the lake where it burned merrily. We had been sitting for half an hour or so waiting for the fireworks to start when a log on the raft burned through and dropped sizzling into the water. Everyone started to applaud and we suddenly realized that we'd been watching the Norwegian fireworks the entire time.
They're a little more laid back over there...
Oh, and if anyone ever offers you Surstromming, hold your nose and run!

I have partaken in the Lutefisk festival a few times.
Michele & I used to look after custodian duties at the Calgary Scandinavian Club in Calgary.
Fins,Danes,Swedes,Norwiegians,& Icelanders
Being part Danish I am also well versed with Aklavic (Potato Liquor) & Gummeldansk
Having 3 Kylling's (4 oz each bottle) can cause the nervous system to go into arrest
Love the Fish & everything else about it.

So cool to hear that. I love these people. Well I guess must, because I love, my wife, and she is SO Norwegien. I had great time today. And yes it was the Gummeldansk liquor. Geez, I had such a small amount, and it whacked me! Thank heavens my wife was driving. This place was 48 miles from our house. And I drove the Mustang (GT wit a tuner) there! Hell I would be in Jail had I drove back home! Heeheheheee. sorry still feeling a little punchy

1/2 Dansk, 1/2 Norsk. In '95, Danish Customs didn't believe my US Passport, 'cause I looked too much like a local.
Akvavit, my boy, Akvavit (Water of Life). The only true Akvavit is casked and sails around the world in the hold of ship. Put a little in a sailors tin cup, and in bit you'll be singing:
"Yoost a leetle lefse,
vill go a looong vaay,
Give ya indiyestion,
most all of da daaayyy...."
Sorry, can't recall the rest of the lyrics. Probably a good thing. But I Googled and found this for the next Lutefisk Lovers Convention:
"Lutefisk" Parody by Bill Farrell; Sung to the tune of Suzanne Vega's "My Name is Luca"
My name is lutefisk
I lived on the ocean floor
Now I swim in chemicals
Yes, I think you've eat me before
If you see something foul and white
It's just a codfish all soaked in lye
Just don't ask me what I am
Just don't ask me what I am
Just don't ask me what I am
I think it's cause I'm slimy
Maybe it's because I'm slick
Maybe it's Norwegian lefsa
I sit on that makes you sick
It only stinks until you bite
After that your throat gets tight
You just can't swallow anymore
You just can't swallow anymore
You just can't swallow anymore
Yes I think I've been hooked
Caught up in the net again
Well, then at least I know I'm cured
And there's no future in my fjord
I wish Olaf would shut his face
I'm hard of herring with all that bass
Just don't ask me how I taste
Just don't ask me how I taste
Just don't ask me how I taste
