Well, there are a few. There's Total Confusion that puts on a big spread in the area. I think The Jade went to their last outting if I remember correctly. As for me, thanks to my obligations re: handicapped daughter I'm pretty much leashed to the property. One reason I am more of an Internet guy.
However, I have been getting the itch to PbP some more stuff. I think I will def. wanna GM the pirate AP online here.

Gark:
Swedes do eat a lot of meat, or rather, traditionally a relatively large proportion of our food is made from dead animals due to the short (compared to most of the rest of the world) growing season.
Of course, back in the old days when people knew their place, women weren't allowed to vote, children kept schtum or got beaten, and people actually listened to priests, meat was very much a rich man's food. These days, we're all pretty rich, even the poor, so there's probably more meat eaten than there's good for us.
(Personally I'm very careful to make sure people either know I don't eat fish - useful when you and most of the acquaintances of you and your family live near the coast - or, if I'm eating at someone I'll never meet again, quickly lie and tell them I'm allergic.)

1-½ teaspoon salt
1 milliliter black or white pepper
15 milliliter (1 tablespoon) shredded yellow onion
1 egg
(The spicing can be varied to taste.)Shape the mince into balls with your hands (insert silly jokes here). Fry in a pan while occasionally shaking the pan until the meatballs are brown all around, then reduce the heat and re-fry them 3-5 minutes until they've been fried all through.
Serve with potatoes, brown sauce, and lingonberry jam or pasta and ketchup.
Lingonberry!

Okay, I'll admit that I was a kind of distracted and parallel processing, but why exactly is Easy Rider a classic film? Just because of who was in it?
Basically: Hippies just wanna be free, ride their bikes, drug it up, and occasionally screw local girls, but the mean ol' murderous Southern country folk jes won't lettem be. Hippies good; rednecks bad. Mkay?
Am I missing something?

I've always liked the taste (even when I was 4-10 and just got sips). Might be a problem later in life.

Easy Rider is more of a "classic" for what it brought about, the "Second Golden Era of Hollywood" (The French Connection, MASH, Harold and Maude, Taxi Driver, Chinatown, etc.) than for its value as a film. 'Cuz it's pretty crappy, Jack Nicholson scenes aside.
--I'm seven beers into a 12-pack of Bud now, so my coherency is pretty limited, BUT, there's an excellent book called Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind that does a much better job of explaining its place than I can do here.

Yeah, I know how you have a short growing season and all, and I assumed (as in most places) meat was a rich man's food. But your meals still seem more complex than ours.
(Back then, I had barely finished phasing fish out (for morals). Do you not eat fish for health reasons, or simply taste? Fish has always seemed the iconic Swedish food to me.)
For supper that night we ate fish. I got a bone stuck in my throat and started choking. My godmother, a nurse, quickly fed me some bread and had me wash it down with milk.
The next day, Hakim (I think it was him and not Bjorn, the Swede) took me fishing with a fishing pole. I remember the sun setting and him silhouetted while standing on the rock with a fishing pole (I think I was partly holding the rod myself when the fish bit, but he "helped" for most of it). I was proud of my success with a fish.
And thanks for putting up with my interest in Sweden (swedophilia? sverigephilia?).

Alas, no.
Okay, so, a half-dozen years ago, I was friends with all these smoking hot girls who worked at a comic book store in Boston. And they were all "You should get on MySpace." So, I was, like, "Yeah, sure, if I get to hang out with you, I'm there." And we flirted, and had weekly Lost parties, and maybe we [bubble bubble bubble]-ed in the park and it was hot.
But then, after I finally worked up the courage to ask one of them out, they all decided to be gay. :(
I guess, Studpuffin, what I'm saying is, you're not those girls.
I had a similar experience with FB. Then again, I hate on it less than MySpace. <Cringes at MySpace's ads.>

Cool. I have a futon, always up for gamers to stop by.
BTW you should reconsider FB. As a social connection tool it can't be beat. I don't know what I did without it or my iBorg (I'm sitting in my veggies as I type)

Talking to the kiddo who is recovering from her severe stomach flu, I just remembered the vivid dream I was having this morning right before I woke up: she and I were at the old house with my deceased mother, and we were entertaining a guest with a nice dinner. The guest was Sean Connery.
!!!!!!!
At the time, I could even remember some of my conversation with Mr. Connery. To be clear, this was like Hunt for Red October era S.C.
You know what, I'm not tellin' you people my dreams anymore!

Fish is HUGE in Sweden. If you look at a really old-fashion Swedish feast-table (as in Christmas, Easter, or Midsummer) there's enough fish on it to feed a shark (who probably won't be one of the dishes).
And I don't eat fish because of the ...irrational vomiting reflex I get from putting it in the vicinity of my mouth. I wish I could eat it, since a lot of the dishes made from fish sound like they taste really great. On the other hand, these days there's a fairly large number of fish-species I'd avoid for ecological reasons (i.e. I'd like my grandchildren to be able to try them).

Must be because it tastes like a mass-produced American pilsner.
