About bjornandmick

Hi my name is Bjorn Maelstrom. This blog follows my many adventures. I've been to 11 different states since coming to America. After I suffered two fractured arms I've had to slow down a big but my friends Mick, Alistair, Chris, Hazel, Frank and a bunch of others have graciously said they would continue my adventures. Not that I'm going away completely. Sometimes we travel together sometimes separately but no matter where we go it's always a good time.

Hangovers and Pictures

A couple of us went to the bi-yearly outdoors fun festival in Hogsmead and hijinks ensued.

I find it interesting that everyone is taken in by those giant Bees…Hello I’m a semi-famous Alligator!

Uh Eddie…I thought we were going to get a cocktail?

Smile boys!

Jimmy…I’ve got a hangover…take the dang picture already!!!

By the time Jimmy got this picture of Eddie he was 1/2 tanked.  The boys all had fun and Albie got to see a giant bee do situps…good times ;)

The Big Screen

I went to the movies with Bjorn’s pointy eared friend.  I’m not really sure where he came from or what he actually is.  It’s all rather confusing.  Bjorn has pointy ears and he’s a Troll and Chris has pointy ears and she’s a Fairy and this guy doesn’t look like either of them.  Oh well.  Until I figure him out here are some pictures from our adventure to the Movie Theater!

This is called The Big Bang Theory…humors…I like the that Sheldon humanoid.

I’ve met Spiderman and let’s just say he’s not as awesome as Batman but he’s okay. I’m just not sure I want to stand too close to him…you know because of the radiation. I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t look good in green skin.

What’s behind me?!?

The Avengers was AWESOME…Go see it or forever be hearing how you missed the best movie of 2012.

This is my ticket to get into the theater to see the movie. I explained to that Penguin looking person I could just use a mind meld to get in but apparently she was adverse to this reasoning. So anyway…Look A TICKET!

Go see the movie…What are you still doing there…Robert Downey, Jr. needs more money people…go…go…go!!!

Albie’s Restaurant Review

Hello Dear Friends of Bjorn,

My name is Albie.  I have recently become friends with Bjorn and “The Gang”.  First let me say how much I enjoy Mr. Maelstrom.  He’s gifted and worldly.  The Nun…well she’s a bit gamey for my tastes and I’m not sure what is going on with those guys Eddie and Jimmy.  That said I’ve been asked by Bjorn to give my review of Joe’s Crab Shack.  I do realize that Eddie and Jimmy had been there before but since they drink a lot I’ve decided to give my own review.

Deciding on the right crab pot is always difficult. So many choices. Bjorn loves seafood as it is a main stay in his home of Norway. Me I’m a good ‘ole Gator from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. Bring on the Cajun.

The fries are very crispy and the Crab Balls are a special treat with a heat kick at the end.

I personally thought the Artichoke and Crab Dips were divine. I gave them for stars.

Yummy Crabs. Doesn’t this look like an old fashion can opener? Awesome, right?

Um…the Roomie got a bacon cheese burger. What’s with that?

The corn was excellent as you can tell by the lack of corn on these cobs.

Bjorn and I had a fantastic afternoon. The company was wonderful and the food outstanding.

As the sign says…EAT AT JOE’S!

So have some fun…have some crabs…it’s all good!

California Dreamin’ – Then We Came Home

Flying is something that I think only Kick’s got a handle one.  You know cause nuns are always flying.

I'm in cue and ready to board...I have no idea where everyone else is?

Is that our plane Eddie?
Yes Jimmy that is our plane
I thought it would be bigger

Seat Belts Fastened...

Safety Instructions...done...lets drink!

Don't tell Bjorn I'm having his 7 and 7, he he he....

Jimmy never can hold his liquor!

Bye Bye California Dreamin'


I finished my book and had a nap.  It was a very good trip my friends.  If you get to California…Tell everyone on Hollywood Blvd. Bjorn says hi!!!

California Dreamin’ – Bjorn and Friends Go To the Beach

We wanted to put our feet in the Pacific Ocean so we headed to famous Venice Beach.

Me on Venice Beach

Jimmy, Kick and Eddie take in the sun

Jimmy and Eddie digging the Beach


While we were checking out the Ocean and looking for Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch we met this guy who looked really familiar to me.  He said he gets that all the time.  His name is Bill from Sandy, Utah.  He and his friends were in California on vacation too.

My new friend Bill. He's a little paranoid about the raging waves.

I thought this aerial shot was kind of cool. Check out the marks of BIGFOOT!

Me on the Strip.

Venice Beach was fun and I got to people watch.  Do you know that not one person noticed my big hairy self there.  For the first time I wasn’t the Troll in the room, lol.

California Dreamin’ – Bjorn Sees Dead People – The Catholic L.A. Edition

Around the block and up the street we went to see the Catholic Cemetery.  It wasn’t as aesthetic as the Jewish cemetery with his structures and elaborate gardens but it was very nice.


I got to see Rita Hayworth…

Bing Crosby…


Dracula’s Bela Lugosi…


Kick took time to hang out in the Grotto…



Me and the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.  We had a great time seen all the old celebrities but our time was limited.  The Roomie had to go potty.  Just like her to make us have to rush, lol.  Tomorrow’s post…Hollywood!

California Dreamin’ – Bjorn Sees Dead People – L.A. Edition

Across the street from our hotel was The Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery.  Yup famous dead celebrities.  The Roomie has a thing about cemeteries so this was right up her alley and it was only a short trip so we were all in.

A View From one of many spectacular Mausoleums.

DJ AM

Al Jolesen's grave was grand and spectacular. He sits atop of this waterfall. Magnificent.

We Love You Al!!!

Aaron Spelling we miss you most of all

We all wanted to pay homage to the Great Aaron Spelling.  The man was a television genius and is truly missed.  He made us want to watch TV in the 70s and 80s.

We got lots of fresh air and sunshine while walking around these magnificent gardens.  We saw Michael Landon, Dinah Shore, Eddie Cantor (and family), Lorene Greene and Jack Benny to name a few.  It was the closest we got to big name celebrities our entire trip.

A Norwegian in L.A.

We had a long days travel to get to LA so when we got there we were all ready for some much-needed sleep.


The hotel was nice but Jimmy snores and I don’t like that.  The next morning Kick went to look for Erik Estrata.


He wasn’t around so we went to breakfast.


Later I introduced my new friends to Luke Skywalker.  He’s a huge star…they were in awe.

Hey Hollywood!

Directly across the street from our hotel is a famous cemetery.  Wait until you see who we found….

A Trip To California – First Stop Chicago

We all went to California last week.  And by all I mean The Roomies, Me, Kick, Jimmy and Eddie.  We left the menagerie home and they weren’t happy.  Hey we got them souvenirs.

Heading out-of-town

They guys wanted me to bless the plane. I didn't have any Holy Water so I used Holy Vodka. What?!? It's clear!

The trip wasn’t exactly first class for us.  The Roomies had it sweet with their nice comfy seats.

We had a layover in Chicago and their airport is entertaining.  Look it’s the Blues Brothers!!! Dudes!

Ah...My Boys!


I wanted to talk to the pilot but apparently that kind of thing is frowned upon.  Very uncool.


And then we arrived at LAX…

Never Trust A Zombie

Kick had some issues when she was visiting Jared the former Jurassic Park employee at his new job at Zombie World.  You know he had to find a new line of work when the Dinosaurs’ found a way.  Some how getting eaten by a giant lizard at work isn’t as appealing as it sounds.

So the important thing when visiting Zombie World Sister Kick is not to let them bite you. If they bite you it could lead you turning into a zombie and really does anyone want to see a Nun Zombie?

So why do Zombies bite anyway....

Okay Kick...one of the zombies got loose...don't turn around!

but I want to see...I'm going to turn around now...

Gotch ya! Stay there Kick...I've got him!

"Oh no...I've fallen and I can't get up!"
No worries Kick...I got him. He's neutralized.

So the key to Zombie World is having worked with Zombies before. Good thing I had that Thriller Re-enactment experience. Anyway...thank you Jared for the tour and the saving my life and stuff. Boys and Girls when working with Zombies never turn your back on them. Now I'm ready to get the hell out of here!

Before leaving Zombie World Sr. Kickurass gave that zombie a detention…that will show him who he’s messing with!
