I posted the link up for these things in another thread, but thought maybe more folks in general would appreciate them, and their potential to improve visibility...

It'd decrease the likelihood of YOU getting run over, but increase the chances of folks around you crashing as they were staring atcha riding down the road!

That's tempting. This time of year, a pumpkin helmet cover and a dark cape would be cool for a night ride through the neighborhood.

Cool its what all Good Lutherans Riders should wear Halloween as they nail copies of the 95 theses on Catholic Church doors and delivering the Lutefisk The 95 Theses would be a good joke but the Lutefisk is either vandalism or a Hazmat issue lolol

I could give a joke answer.... but you wouldn't get it.

Lutefisk is cod preserved with lye.

It has the look of a messed up roof shingle and is hard enough to drive nails. It was developed in pre-medieval days as a way to preserve emergency rations in the bottom of an open boat in the North Atlantic. A small, fast, open, wet, sailing ship.

It is "prepared" ( for disposal, since no one sane would eat it ) by soaking it in milk, or water ( HAH! ) for several days, changing the milk daily, until it softens. Then you beat it with a hammer until it reaches a jelly like state, then you make fools eat it, or throw it away. ( preferably in a hazmat container, and what DID you do with all that lye infused milk? )

Used today as a torture for scandahoovian children at family reunions, "to remind them of their ancestors" who were the most bada$$ warriors of their time, and that was in part because they WERE going to invade your fortified town no matter what, because they had run out of edible supplies, and death was preferable to eating lutefisk.

Also sold to tourists, who hear about this mythical "food", to the amusement of the locals.

It was not, despite rumors, used as armor. It is not, actually bulletproof. Bullet resistant, yes.

Alton Brown's "Feasting on Asphalt" did a lutefisk episode.

this isn't it.

Well its been called the Ultimate MRE poison cured cod It has a half life similar to plutonium. If you like it its great if you don't you ll run from it.
Improperly prepared it can kill you.
Its a Scandhoovian Note the Aesquire denotation dish. As we approach the holidays you will find it at your Better Lutheran fall festivals and fund raiser dinners Some prefer to pay double and miss the dinner as opposed to normal price and eat it!

According to Some the only proper Lutheran occupations are Lutheran pastor Farmer Or Lutefisk distributor Read the book Growing up Lutheran you will enjoy it You ll die laughing if you did.

After you've seen Lutefisk, suddenly Menudo seems like a good choice. I worked for years with a transplanted Minnesota Lutheran of Norwegian descent. He must have had a million Ole and Sven jokes.

One of my old friends, who happened to be a pretty hard core biker type decided to kick against the system that required him to wear a helmet.

A skilled fabricator, and well on his way towards considerable success, he first glued a giant "Fro" wig to his 3/4 helmet. He had a long dark beard, and it looked like he was riding without a helmet.

After all the cops caught on, he took another tight puddin' bowl type helmet, and using latex and paint made a bald head helmet. When the helmet optional law came around, he quit wearing a helmet.

I'd heard lutefisk wasn't half bad with a side order of okra...

My parents had lutefisk once a year but all four kids refused to have dinner on that night. Brings back bad memories when I see it in a store, and you don't see it very often.
