Lutefisk falling out of favor

[Bob Crowley]

This reminded me of a story I was told years ago by a chap who had once been in ASIO, the Australian Intelligence Service (I'm talking 1960's, so it's hardly a security issue). He said he was in Malaysia at one point (during the Indonesian Confrontation I think) and was invited to join in with a village speciality, fermented birds complete with eyes floating around.

Anyway there's a collection of horror stories here. I think the museum is in Malmo, which is next door to Norway. Compared to some of the others, Lutefisk would be hard pressed to get an honorable mention.

You'll need a longer one than that to reach Norway!

Ya, but not so long a one to reach Minnesota, vhere dere are tousands uf Svedes und Norvegians.

There used to be a guy who did comedy on the radio back in the 1940s; his real name was Harry Stewart, but his "persona" name was Yogi Yorgesson; he was absolutely hilarious, but his stuff wound be seen as "offensive" today. Anyway, he told the story of one of his neighbors saying, "Back in Sveden, vhere I vas born, I used to step outside my front door and yell 'Yohnson!', and dere were a hundred echos off da mountains: 'Yohnson! Yohnson! Yohnson!' But now dat I live here in Minnesota, I step outside my front door and yell 'Yohnson!', und I get ten tousand replies, all asking 'Vhich Yohnson?'"

Here's some examples of Yogi Yorgesson---like I said, absolutely hilarious!

Just coffee for me, thanks---and I don't mean that ferret-poop coffee they have in Indonesia, either.

Two bars of Safegard soap wrapped up in a G.I. towel and tied around my neck. If it got too bad, I would lift the towel and breathe through soap for a while.

I'd be so sick. I smell things nobody else can.
I dont even... ever ever...

I know I have smelled decaying animals [skunks are probably really high up there on the ewwww decaying on top of that smell] list.

I do not want to know.
