Universe Ordained !!

Just when you thought, Hygge Pub Night ( actually 3pm ) couldn't be more meaningful, ... on January 21st, 6 of the 7 planets are in alignment, and, if we stay in the pub long enough, which I am planning to do, ... we may be able to walk out onto the patio and see them.  You know you've gotta be at Hygge Pub Night now.   This alignment is coming ... are you?  Do you think I'm kidding, nay nay, ... ask Bob Haar.

Historic Opportunity Awaits 

This is Huge

( I need to give a count to the restaurant January 16th )

The powers that be, who instigated Hygge Pub Night, ... now, in a spirit of global reconciliation and inclusiveness, are strongly, ... very, very strongly considering changing the event to "Nordic Nights" for 2026.  

Last Hygge Pub Night

in History

This means that this January 21st at 3pm at Cabernets and IPAs, in Mukilteo will be the last ever MHS '67 Hygge Pub Night ( late afternoon ).  A definite "must attend" for those interested in historical events.   I'm not saying we'll have t-shirts made, ... but, ... maybe.  The term Nordic encompasses 5 countries, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and the properties of Greenland and the Faroe Islands.  Greenland and the Faroe Islands both belong to Denmark, ... although I hear they're trying to flex some independent muscle, and are signing up 16 soldiers, and painting their flag on a Jeep Wrangler as a show of force to the world.  A more robust presence, they call it.  Those are the kind of people we want to support, ... hence the change in 2026.

Now, so far, the classmates signed up for the Last Ever MHS Hygge Pub Night are, ... in order, Scandinavians, English, and a few Italians.   So, ... where are the Poles, the Germans, ... and what about the French, .... c'mon.   Still no Japanese signed up, ...  and the Irish?  geez, ... we got beer.  Not a single Brazilian yet, or Egyptian.   Let's get on it, so I don't have to continue with this nationality shaming.

The reasons for this momentous change to Nordic Nights are obvious, but I'm going to enumerate them nonetheless. 

1.  The number of Danish classmates we could find are less than half the number of people who've actually seen Bigfoot.

2.  Steve Favorite still cannot pronounce Hygge, ... but, he can say Nordic.

3.  Mary Ferchen and Jeanne Fletcher will stop whining, "what about Norway".

4. This gives Greenland an opportunity to be more visible on the global stage, since they've recently been touting they want to be independent.  Besides, I think Sheila Page once told me she's from Greenland.

5.  Kevin Murray once wrote a report on the Faroe Islands for Mr. Ridge.   It wasn't an assignment, ... Kevin just wanted to do it.  We don't know why.

6.  Including Greenland and Iceland expands the apparel options for attendees.  You can wear your giant ear muffs, or your caribou or musk ox anorak.  Will you have to wear Nordic apparel, ... No, ... but it's more fun don't you think?  I would love to see Stephanie Smith in her musk ox anorak.  Do vegans not wear anything that contains animal?  Steph?

7.  Janet Westerlund can tout her Swedish ancestry, ... if that's what you are, Janet.

8.   Linda Churchill once stopped in Iceland for lunch on her way to Mexico.  ( she falls for all these travel gimmicks )

So, you can see why this month's Hygge ( hew-gah, Steve ) Pub Night ( in the afternoon, 3pm ) is so historical.  It's the last of the last, ... a singular moment in history that will not come again, in the neighborhood of "one small step for man ... " You think we're kidding?  Nae Nae.  So, ... to attend this historical event go to the survey located at the top left of the Home Page, and indicate you're coming.  Operators are standing by to tally your vote.   If the survey is clogged up with all the tallying going on, ... wait a few minutes, then fill out the survey again.  You simply cannot miss this historic event.   Oh, $first_name$, bring your t-shirt size.   Not sure we'll have t-shirts, but ... maybe.  Did we mention this is an historic event?  We're not into name calling, ... BUT, you'd be fool to miss this event.

If you're actually Danish, ... we're sorry, ... we didn't know.

For the rest of you,  ... you're welcome for the lessson on geopolitics.
