I highly recommend a book by Howard Mohr titled "How to Talk Minnesotan" for all transplanted Viking fans.


Keep one on my desk for the bad times
;D

I have that book...and the cassette too (which shows how long I have had it...LOL).
I had to get it when I realized that I was gonna be with my (then girlfriend, now) wife for all of eternity!
;D
There's some funny pooh in there!

Mine belonged to a good friends mother who passed two years ago.


When she went home for her mothers funeral, the kids divided up her belongs, she (for some reason) gave it to me. :

Anyway - my favorite page (133 - IronClad PJ's)
;D

Oh man I need to get myself a copy of that book.

MST3K fans: http://www4.alluc.org/alluc/tv-shows...tegory_uid=660
Fantastic site here for all kinds of movies and TV and whatnot. The page above is for MST, just click the "Season Links," there are a few episodes there. Links to the left have hundreds of other shows and movies.

** I am currently really busy, so give me a day or two... and if you have AIM, add me (egALECtarian) and I will try to log in to Trillian in the next couple of days. I have 21 full MST episodes and 3 of the "short" 50's PSA's the show occasionally had, and I would be happy to upload them over Trilliam/AIM to your PC. Unfortunately, the 'file send' feature isn't compatible with Yahoo messaging though. I will post a list of episodes (for your requests) here in a few days and will get on IM right after that. **

Some other good Minnesota books:
# You Know You're a Minnesotan If...
by Ed Fischer
# Minnesota Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat



Stuff by Russ Ringsak
# Only in Minnesota by Roxanne Kjarum
# Hotdish To Die For by Pat Dennis

Great book and wasn't until I read it that I saw some similiarities between Minnesotans and Brits .... especially the section about how much interest is taken about the weather reports
;D

I also tried to purchase some land up on Lake Wobegon but it was to expensive so I just bought some of Garrison's CD's.


Worth a listen if you haven't heard them.
