He's Norwegian, what can I say?... :lol:

    Dean - Your Norwegian's 5th into Unalakleet! :thumbsup:
    Even though Dee Dee is old enough to be his mother, I don't think Bjornar's going to catch her! :lol:
    First met her 20 years ago in Unalakleet when she worked for my fish buyer and she's all business!

    Madjacksenovitch - Village ladies in fur. :)
    Russians from nearby Redoubt St. Michaels are part of the Norton Sound heritage. The Kaltag to Unalakleet trail that the leaders just ran was the winter short-cut to the Yukon treasure.
    Juneau Dave or Rooster - Wondering if you've ever driven the Stewart-Cassiar?

Fred,
I already sent Daag Madjacksen 3lbs. of Redwood Curtainian Coffee (My prefered choice blend) from a bet I lost to him, because of the biased NFL officiating during the Super Bore... Still smartin' over that one.
I will just say this... All Norwegians are known for strong finishes.

Ahh what the heck... OK you're on for dinner!!!
Even if I loose, it gives me a reason to make it to Alaska... Someday. :twisted:

    Well, Dean, if I loose and you make it to Alaska, I'll be glad to buy! Besides, the 'Parking is Free' at Ivory Jacks. :lol:

Are you sure that isn't what having a runny nose in 10F weather looks like? :lol:

    Somehow, Dean, I knew you wouldn't miss that one! :lol:
    Thought he looked rather 'Viking' like.... :)
    King Jeff will probably be celebrating like one on Front St. a little after midnight. :P :beer:
    Still wondering on how the Norwegian couple will decide which will be Rookie of the Year? :thinking:

    P.S. Doug. I know you're an old timer sourdough. Did you run into Wyatt Earp? :roll:

Fred,
I miss not having a set of antlers in the wintertime... :(
TDN prefers to keep me clean shaven... smooth as a baby's bottom. :lol:
When I come to Alaska, I'll be sure to grow a set of antlers... :thumbsup:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ODE TO AN OOSIK

Strange things have been done in the Midnight Sun,
and the story books are full---
But the strangest tale concerns the male,
magnificent walrus bull!

I know it's rude, quite common and crude,
Perhaps it is grossly unkind;
But with first glance at least, this bewhiskered beast,
is as ugly in front as behind.

Look once again, take a second look -- then
you'll see he's not ugly or vile --
There's a hint of a grin, in that blubbery chin --
and the eyes have a shy secret smile.

How can this be, this clandestine glee
that exudes from the walrus like music?
He knows, there inside, beneath blubber and hide
lies a splendid contrivance -- the Oosik!

"Oosik" you say -- and quite well you may,
I'll explain if you keep it between us;
In the simplest truth, though rather uncouth
"Oosik" is, in fact, his penis!

Now the size alone of this walrus bone,
would indeed arouse envious thinking --
It is also a fact, documented and backed,
There is never a softening or shrinking!

This, then, is why the smile is so sly,
the walrus is rightfully proud.
Though the climate is frigid, the walrus is rigid,
Pray, why, is not man so endowed?

Added to this, is a smile you might miss ---
Though the bull is entitled to bow --
The one to out-smile our bull by a mile
is the satisfied walrus cow!

:snow

They used to have an OOSIK at the Board of Trade Bar in Nome....the joke was to get some attractive young lady, and that was a trick to find one in Nome, to stroke it 3 times and kiss the end and make a wish on it...then they handed her that poem...good one for posting that...I haven't seen it in years....you sure bring back some fun memories...thanks guy, I really appreciate that.... :thumbsup: Doug
