Apparently this went over like a breaded abalone (closest thing that sounds like a "lead balloon") and was sent to everyone at Ivar's by the CEO. They started the workweek with smiles and grins.

This alone makes writing this blog totally worth it!

There really is/was an Idar Slothaug. He ran for some lesser public office in Kitsap several decades ago, and Ron liberated one of his campaign signs after the election, and it was displayed proudly in the workshop for many years. We used to sing, "Idar, Idar Slothaug, fire commissioner" to the tune of the Davy Crockett TV show theme song.

I just wanted to point out the use of the gender pronoun They. This is not a typo. Neither is They or Those when referring to Slothaug
