I lived in Ballard, WA for a time in the early '80s, which is home to a large Norwegian population and hosts an annual lutefisk festival- I tried it once and didn't like it.

I give you credit for being willing to try it.

Charlie, But, if you get out here, we go out to dinner after each meeting and I'd be willing buy you a meal. And you will not have to have lutefisk. (In fact you can not get lutefisk were we go to eat!)

Do not feed Charlie.  He will never go away!

Now you tell me! ? Forget everything I've said Charlie. We only have snow all 12 months of year. We live in igloos. And all we eat is lutefisk. Plus we only build models of cars and trucks with rust and snow tires on them. I know you won't like it here at all. (You think that will work?)

You don't even have to feed me, I just don't go away! :)

So? It sounds like New England in a bad year. And I actually wouldn't object to trying lutefisk if someone actually knows how to make it. :lol:

Side-note- was that bit about the Irish developing it as an anti-Viking weapon a joke or real? I mean, it does sound like something some inebriated leprechaun would devise. 

Side-note 2: G, I actually kinda like gefelte fish; not wild about the texture, but it doesn't taste bad. Blame it on my Jewish ex-girlfriend.

The Irish thing is a just a joke. And the offer to buy you dinner does still stand if you ever do make it to an MCCM meeting. And truth be told, Minnesota is a state of contrast climate wise. The last few days we where down below 0. But, in July and August it does get 90 degrees or higher. (So igloos get a little wet inside.) That's why I recommend visiting in the months of May or June. September is also pretty nice around here too.

I concur, however I blame it on my Jewish mother.

Okay Tom.... I don't know we could handle you coming out here too. But.... I guess I'll make the same offer to you, that I made to Charlie. If you ever make to one of our Model Car Club of Minnesota meetings, I'll buy you dinner too. And again, no lutefisk.

Speaking of the Model Car Club of Minnesota, we will be meeting tonight. We normally meet on the second Wednsday of the month. But, there was a conflict with were we meet and we had to put it back a week. Just this week I got your card Tom, about the NNL East coming up in April. So I will be bring the card tonight to the meeting and making announcement about it. I don't if anybody will be coming from our area. But, I appreciate you keeping us in the loop on this. Thanks.

And please do come and visit us sometime. Either for a meeting or our NNL in early June each year.

You and Charlie? Forget it!..... Nah, just kidding. It would be fun to come out there. But, the way the budget is looking right now. It will not be this year.

Yea, Charlie and I are a bit much together for a single sitting!   :P

Funny story... Charlie had mentioned on the board that he still used 35mm film.  I hadn't met him yet, but I saw a guy at the Liars show on Long Island loading film.  So I walked up to him and said, "You must be Charlie."   and yes it was!

We haven't driven everyone out of the PAL building yet, Tom. Give me a little credit.

And yes, I'll be there, K-1000 and all.

We should tell him, though, Tom, if Scott thinks we're overload together, wait until he meets the rest of MassCar!
