Keep your dirty whore hands off of Torey Krug

I'm writing a song titled this. This is totally a country song. Fenway don't belong to you. Talking to the Blues not Krug.

"KEEP YOUR DIRTY WHORE HANDS OFF OF TOREY KRUG @StLouisBlues" -@ETD51. 6:35 AM · Oct 9, 2020. Guess what happened next, boys and girls. Just guess. One guess. All you need is one guess. Flipping Johnny Damon 2020. I'm just kidding. I love TK. To your health, Sir.

Wisconsin and Minnesota Lutefisk. The Lutefisk Supper: Wisconsin. Essay may have been written by Estella Tenbrink. She is credited with the essay featured before this one. 

"When the fall days become really crisp, people in all the Scandinavian settled regions of Wisconsin begin to scan their local newspapers for announcements of lutefisk suppers. Such announcements are not hard to find, because almost every Norwegian church gives at least one such supper between October and the end of the year, and there are many Norwegian churches. From miles away, often as many as fifty, lovers of lutefisk drive to the church where the supper is to be given. And they are not all Scandinavians, by any means. So popular have lutefisk suppers become that in Dane County a group of Norwegians have humorously formed what they call a "Norwegian Lutefisk Protective Association" to guard the suppers from the invasion of non-Norwegian epicures. "Germans and Irish are again invading the sacred lutefisk domains," wrote one Norwegian-American editor in 1941, "and appropriating the usual disproportionate share of the traditional Christmas delicacy," But the ladies of the Norwegian churches are glad to have the strangers come, for the receipts from the suppers go to pay the church debts. It is not uncommon for as many as two thousand people to attend a single supper, and a crowd of five hundred has come to be considered almost trifling".

I wonder what the Lutefisk suppers will be like this year? Take home boxes? Winter Is Coming. Practice Safe Covid-19 Sense.
