and i am definatly going to visit a taco stand of some sort....or several DD Those thingies look delicious

My ancestors came from Karlshamn in Blekinge Province, on the Southern coast of Sweden. I have never been to Norway.

I had one of my amateur bouts in Karlshamn some years ago, beautifull place :p I even won two tins of crabb sticks and a snickers bar for the match

Yes, absolutely lovely. Until my father got sick, my wife and I had tentatively planned to rent a cottage and live there for a month this Summer. I have several distant cousins who still live there. Maybe next Summer. I hope so.

On this, friend Hammer, we will have to agree to disagree. Today's basketball players are superior athletes, I believe, but the game is not as good. I think Jordan ruined the game with his acrobatics. Everybody wants to be "be like Mike," - with slam dunks and three-point shots - at the expense of the team aspect of the game. I'll be pulling for the Celtics out of habit - but I wouldn't walk across the street to watch a pro basketball game anymore.

You are right on that aspect of the game, the Celtics of the 980s played ''team'' basketball better than anyone I have seen they had a better ''head'' for the game, the game seems to be played more selfishly now, ''I wanna score 100 points don't matter if we win or lose'', I should have stated athletically better I should have said.

Agree 100%. In the 1960s, everybody played like the 1980s Celtics. Sad to say it maybe, but women play the best team basketball now. I haven't watched a men's game in years. Too much of a purist, I guess.

This was around 1984, there was this drunk guy who used to come into the sports book in the Castaways casino, he would walk up to anyone who would listen and shout '' I love the Boston Celtics there the white guys'' if he was around today what would he say now if he could see the starting lineup

Chimichangas are a Tex-Mex dish. I don't know if they are popular in Southern California. Frank will know. Frank?

I have never seen one, I have heard of them though, but never knew what they are made off or even looked liked, maybe Connie know about them, I'll ask her....

Frank they are more popular in the more Americanized Mexican restaurants,

Like in Taco Bell/Del Taco?

I have about fourteen cousins in Karlshamn - maybe they'd all like a field trip to Oslo??

and i am definatly going to visit a taco stand of some sort....or several DD Those thingies look delicious

There's only one place, and it's in East L.A. Randy & Frank tipped me off.
My wife and I went there for lunch one weekday. I forget the name, but they have legendary burritos, and they have tacos.
But they are huge. I've slept in beds smaller than their biggest burrito.
Maybe we can meet Frank & Randy there one day when you are here?
This place is the real deal, and I think they'd recommend it.

[Rick Farris]

Going to have gabacho style breakfast this morning, Eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, coffee.

Gutan Tag, Frau Raylaw Thats about the extent of my German.
Thanks for the picture post of "Chimichungas". In New York, where American-Mexican fast food and restaurants loom large- they are one of the biggest sellers on the menu. In certain nabes of New York City with heavy populated Mexicans/Puerto Rican and Dominicans, there are things on their menus that I never heard of but look very good. Fried Plaintains & Gondoolays (spell ck)- mostly puerto rican cuisine is quite good. My sister in law can enlighten me more on this. She was born in same town where Jose Torres was from.
By the way, those NYC neighborhoods at night-well, your on your own if you get my drift.
Pickled Herring can be had at the great Jewish delis in NYC too.If anyone is coming to NY for the Cotto-Foreman fight-stop in at the years old Carnegie deli on 7th for a mile high Hot Pastrami sandwich.Sarges Deli located downtown is still going strong and a favorite too. "Harry met Sally" was filmed there.
Sorry I can't make it out to Calif. for its Hall of Fame ceremonies. The line-up is just great and should be thrilling. Congratulations to all Honorees, and a long handshake for a job well done for our friend, Rick Farris. Congratulations Rick.
Please let me know when next years dinner is so I can make plans.
They dont serve that buried herring dish out there do they ?

Britain's Amir Khan continues his safety first campaign when he takes on Cuban veteran Joel Casamayor in a 12-rounder on these shores in the summer.
The quick but fragile Khan comes off a one-sided 11-round stoppage of Brooklyn's Paulie Malignaggi in Madison Square Garden last month. He dominated Malignaggi in the way Ricky Hatton had dominated Malignaggi a couple of years earlier, so it was a win which really proved nothing. Frankly, trainer Freddie Roach talks of big fights for his man but then comes an opponent who reeks of caution. The feather-fisted Malignaggi posed no risk to Khan's notorious glass jaw and southpaw Casamayor is so much smaller than Khan – and so much older – that you wonder how Roach keeps a straight face.
The 38-year-old Casamayor, who won Olympic gold at bantamweight in 1992 and peaked at super-featherweight as a pro with a win over Diego Corrales in 2003, has really struggled since moving up to lightweight a year later which culminated in a heavy 11-round stoppage to Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez two years ago, since when he has boxed just once, beating a nobody last year.
Casamayor was stopped for the first time in his career by Marquez and the question has to be asked: if Casamayor has struggled at lightweight, what chance does he have against Khan at light-welterweight? Khan, 23, defends his WBA light-welterweight title.

So true, Bennie, so true....

I was thinking about fighters who were successful despite having a '' glass jaw'' Roger Mayweather is the first one who comes to my mind because he lived and made his career here in Vegas, oh I forgot the younger Klitschko has one imo but he is so tall and uses his jab to keep guys away so most of the time he doesn't get hit, so you can have some success just remember to duck.

Sammy Serrano and Terry Norris also come to mind.
