We’re adding a new page to our Skål Project: our WANTED List. It’s a list of celebrities that we want… no, NEED to come in and skål.
At the top of our Skål Wish List sits none other than Max von Sydow…
The reward? Your own personal bottle of Cooking Issues Aquavit:
I know what you’re thinking: Damn. I really want to taste that aquavit that everyone’s talking about… but I don’t know Max! Good news, ladies & gentlemen—we have an entire list of celebrities that we would LOVE to skål. If you happen to have a connection to one of the following people and can get them to come in, you’ve just won yourself the opportunity to come in and skål with them. If you know a celebrity not on this list who might want to come in and skål, let us know! Also, if you’re dying to see your favorite celebrity come in and skål, send us a comment with their name and we’ll add them to the list. Let’s get ready to SKÅLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Great suggestion, Intern Oegema! He will be added.
NATALIE PORTMAN.
In SNL rapping mode, of course.
Steve Buscemi, Angus Young, and Amy Sedaris (with her bro)
All excellent.

Set it up bro.
