Anyone listening around 7:30 this morning when Fogheads were invited to call in with commencement speaker stories?  My tale was played back.


Sorry, was out walking the dog at that hour. So spill it--what's yer story?


We had the pleasure of a visiting scholar address us for 45 minutes on the subject of "Proper Managment of the World's Ocean Resources".  The Dean of Students fell asleep in the front row on stage, and the only thing I can remember is towards the end when he said, "I'd also like to talk about proper management of the world's fresh water resources..." (and as he turned the page there was this totally audible sharp intake of breath from the audience) "...but time does not allow me to go into that here."  (and then there was an even more audible sigh of relief from the audience).

Dave asked me what school it was & I told him Pacific Lutheran University in Tacome WA & he said, "Go..., what was your team name?"
So I had to tell him we were the Lutes, and did our cheer:

Lutefisk, Lutefisk
Lefsa, Lefsa
We're the mighty Lutherans
Ya Sure Ya Betcha

special frink points to anyone who knows what lutefisk & lefsa are.

Dylan trivia: "Napoleon in Rags" was a real person. Who was he?


I think it's Andy Warhol.

So, one of the freakiest covers of "All Along the Watchtower" I've ever heard was in a TV miniseries many years ago. Wild Palms.

Robert Morse plays an evil lounge singer (I know, I know- "Is there any other kind?") who at one point croons out a creepy, loungy-blue version.

Lutefisk is a sort of cured whitefish that's favored by Scandinavians. Very popular in some areas of Seattle, Minnesota and other areas with a large Scandiavian community. From what I gather it's ghastly.

No clue about lefsa tho--so do I only get half a frink point?

You are correct, sir! I never knew that, but Little Steven (again) talked about it a few weeks back -- Edie Sedgwick had a crush on Dylan, who tried to get her away from the Warhol camp. He despised Warhol. And Edie inspired several Dylan tunes, including "Leopardskin Pillbox Hat".

Must be another Scandinavian food product to accompany the fish.

No, you get a whole frink point, but the other frink point would've been yours if you knew that Lefsa is a kind of potato pancake, actually more like a tortilla.  Bland white food, that's what the Norsky's love.

I LOVED that mini-series.  Robert Morse was awesome.  About half-way through, he gets killed.  Fortunately, they can re-create him holographically.  The head bad-guy comments "I like him better dead."  (Or words to that effect.)

I've always liked this tune. Maybe because I can understand most of the lyrics.

A virtual Best of Dylan set.  Nothing very obscure yet.  Dave's probably saving something really out there for towards the end...

I should have known you woulda seen it, SciFi Rod! Yeah, it was pretty groovy.

Any TV miniseries that has Dana Delany, Bebe Neuwirth and Kim Cattrall all in one place can't be bad, that's fer sure.
