Oh yeah, that's right - my partly Norwegian wife told me about ludafisk parties in Wisconsin, too. She did describe it as putrid, half rotten fish that tastes terrible, yet people eat it as some sort of sick tradition.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the education on Icelandic society! And in that pic, at least, the stuff doesn't look all that putrid. Maybe looks even tasty, esp when washed down with a bit of Black Death!

Please refer to the end of the thread 'So many amps, so little knowledge. Bless me with your expertise!'. You're like a bot. Are you a bot?

So where does an Icelandic pick up putrefied shark fish? Is it readily available at the local shop?

NASTY in all caps! That does sound NASTY .. '...It is sometimes called svarti dauði ("Black Death")... At times it is drunk as a "chaser" after sampling hákarl, which consists of putrefied shark flesh, to mask the fish's taste. The word brennivín literally translates into English as 'burning wine', and comes from the same root as brandy, namely brandewijn which has its roots in the Dutch language (also compare German Branntwein).' You might have to bring some to the next gathering! Black Death!!! Long Live Spritzer!

x2. Nice, Tyll! And ... 'occupation EE / Aerospace Computer Engineering' = Rocket Science? Interesting that often the smartest people are so modest. No need to mouth off and be obnoxiously loud to be heard. Too busy doing good things.

What kind of crap do they drink?

Doesn't Google maps have a beta that allows one to store data for later use while not in cell range? Edit: I remember where I saw it now. Open Google maps, click menu, click ' labs', click 'pre-cache map area' and follow directions. Seems limited, but might fit the bill.

Vicki, sorry for the HR visit tomorrow, that really sucks. I've been served before for a work issue before, and it's no fun, that's for sure. Way more fun to drink with the lawyers! ) Al, glad your hip is getting better!

Caipirinha

What, no stouts to drink? Thanks for that great tasting, btw. I can't remember if I ever posted it, but thanks, I had a good time.

Damn sorry ass school!

Wow, I have an Icelandic patient who said exactly this about his homeland. I always just figured it was because he was depressed. I guess he was just stating a fact.

I had no idea you could get into the Northwestern Music School without getting into the school in general. Everyone I knew in the school of music was a regular old student like anyone else... I think... although my GF at the time was in the School of Arts and Sciences first, and then switched into being a violin performance major in the School of Music. So maybe I just assumed that all of her music major friends had the same status and could switch at will. Plus I switched from the School of Art and Sciences into the School of Engineering without much effort, I figured at the time it was just a formality, so you do some paperwork. I suppose any switch in schools within a university has to be scrutinized and is not a given? I never really thought about that until now...

Yikes! Whew! Glad to hear it! Stats was never a forte. I actually think deepak's assessment is the most accurate. I actually laughed out loud after reading his!

Too busy. You figure it out.

You sound like a douche newbie.

So to clarify for the OP, the Ayre could be 112.3% worse or 95.7% better than the Linn. Hope that's helpful! Or you could just buy the thing and decide for yourself.

What is the margin of error on that?

Looks like a good custom title to me!

Good luck with the haircut, Shelly! Good luck with college hunting! I'm 12 years away from that, and already scared!

I can see why your dick head friends didn't think you'd last here. A ban is to good for you. You should be drawn and quartered.

Chimay Red

So what did you win?

I have them. No taste I can detect, not sure it cools as much as I'd hoped, but probably still worthwhile.
