As you watch it, keep in mind, no one I know talks like that.

Well, I am glad of the reminder, neighbor

I loved No 5, but thought the funniest thing of all was the irrepressibly polite way in which the author uses the words "butt" and "heck" in order to not use swear words.

[bhodges]

That is hilarious! 

PS, about "We are more literate than you."  This must refer to USA Today's survey of the "most literate cities in the U.S.," and just last year, Minneapolis was again No. 1, with St. Paul as No. 3.

I wonder what happend to me.

Buda and Pest might have united, but Minneapolis and St Paul will never merge.

What would they call the combined city? St Minnie?

The Siamese Twin Cities?

Minneapaulus?

Here's a composer might be pleased with that . . . .

[karlhenning]

Stephen Paulus was born in 1949 in New Jersey and was raised in Minnesota.

[MN Dave]

Here's a composer might be pleased with that . . . .

"Commissions have been received from the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, The Houston Symphony and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, with subsequent performances coming from the orchestras of Los Angeles, Philadelphia, St. Louis, the National Symphony Orchestra, and the BBC Radio Orchestra."

I wonder what happend to me.

Dunno, but if it helps you could try using spell-check. 

[MN Dave]

Dunno, but if it helps you could try using spell-check. 

I did that on porpoise.

Can we mention the fact that about ten years ago Pace actually developed an Extra-Mild picante sauce especially for weenies in Minnesota?

We even have (had?) a hot sauce store in the Mall of America.
