Good G*d, do you know what you've done??? I can only hope he's too busy...

You've set up Par for more...

..."TALES... OF THE EXPLOSIVE... SURSTROMMING"!!!

<duh daaaaaaahhhhhhh, de de dummmmmmmmmm!!!>

[Surstrommong, for those who don't follow this stuff, are herring 
salted with half as much salt as was considered necessary to do the 
job. The result was originally sold to various [allegedly] ignorant 
aboriginal types, who decided they liked it and immediately ordered a 
larger batch for next year... I gather that it's good stuff, but 
something of an acquired taste, being somewhere in between pickled 
herring and kim chee. Sort of... bubbly. In order to keep this 
product long enough to be shipped to the four corners of the earth, 
where this product is appreciated, and since it has less preservative 
salt, it is sealed in cans, but not heat-sterilized -- that would 
kill all the lovely fizziness. The tins, consequently, can become 
somewhat bloated.]

Hey. How about a mockumentary, or even a Reality [sic] TV show called 
Mondo Culinaria??? We, at least, would do it correctly...
