i keep going to Fargo and learnin' things...
- i totally understand why people are moved to steal those magnet ribbons off cars. 10 minutes in Fargo and i wanted to ram every car with a "support our troops" bullshit magnet. so no need to explain.
- if American troops overseas don't get to phone their families back home, it's the fault of people who didn't charge anything on their Herberger's credit cards.
- North Dakota is the homeland of my Norwegian kinfolk. it's all good.
- there's a reason i am not supposed to eat potatoes, i am fucking allergic!!! remember that next time silly ago-go!
- i was racially profiled for the first time, that i was aware of, while driving back to Winnipeg across the border. apparently not only do i look like i should speak another language, it's questionable whether or not i appear as though i was born in Canada. fuckers.

Completely unrelated, but Jessica Alba is on the cover of the latest Rolling Stone. Holy beheyzeus, she is hot.
Was this a recent trip? Did you warn us? Did you fill out a permission slip? I had to go through all that with Andi, and I wasn't even going anywhere!
Gotta disagree that North Dakota is all good. There's a reason that Montanans make North Dakotan jokes!
ynh, i did not know that. if i had i would have let you know asap! guess what i will be doing tomorrow?
os, two girlfriends took me this weekend to cheer me up. it was kind of impromptu.
and North Dakota is not all good. my blonde nordic kinfolk are all good! never have i had so many little blonde children wave at me and play pee-a-boo!
pee-a-boo?
I would think that if they were great girlfriends, they'd have taken you to Minneapolis or someplace like that. Fargo??
grrr os...you're such a brat! peek a boo of course! and we only had one night...to do minneapolis right, you need at least 4 days which we didn't have.
Os and Ago-go: Where do you guys live that Minneapolis is considered a big deal?
ynh, i live in winnipeg manitoba, (the centre point of NA) very close to the US border at North Dakota. Minneapolis is the best place to shop in the US if you have a few days to do the 7hr drive. Fargo is good only for the victoria's secret and a few other stores we don't have up here in manitoba.
No Victoria's Secret in Winnipeg? I thought Winnipeg was a huge city since you folks had a hockey team there (for a while anyways). But I do understand the Minneapolis thing; it is a great city. Lots to do and tons of fun.
cincy, Winnipeg is a decent sized city but i don't think Victoria's Secret has made it to Canada at all, even to massive Toronto and Vancouver! and i quite like Minneapolis too!
YNH--I only mentioned Mpls because there's nothing else nearby between us. Big city for me would be Seattle, Portland, SLC, Calgary, Edmonton. But none of them within 500 miles. Maybe the Canadian towns, but I don't know.
Go-go--should I assume that you'll be modelling some of the VS stuff for HNT??? Please?
I was joking. I got nothing against cities I've never visited.
She didn't get a permission slip and I'm up in arms about it, but at least it was a cheer-up trip. Sounds like it wasn't too cheery, though. I hope there was much alcohol and guffawing.
I am up to six magnets now. I see less and less of them on cars in Seattle so apparently my plan is working.
Polly, I think you just threatened my livelihood, but I will look the other way. Keying a car and taking a $1.99 "support our troops" magnet off someone's car are two completely different things.
I don't take pink ribbon magnets off cars, just the yellow ribbon one's and the in your face America is the Bomb ones.
andi, sorry i didn't ask permission, as i said, it was a last minute thing. it was fun though, no worries about that!
polly, i am all about not touching other people's cars but something about seeing it in person gave me the rage. and it seems as though there is a fucking magnet for everything! soon there will be a, "support the curly-haired brunettes who deal with racial profiling at the US/Canada border" magnet!
i just think that things like the magnet stuff start off with good intentions but then the market gets oversaturated and they start to have no effect. that's just my call.
Hmmm... a bigger prize than the yellow ribbon magnet? Interesting and quite alluring Katarina.
I think I will stick with the yellow ribbon ones because they popped up on the scene immediately following September 11th and that's my big beef with them. Someone is making money off the fact we are at war. That irks me hardcore.
The flags are patriotic symbols (no I would never put one on my car) and since next week is July 4th I am sure we will see more. They are safe from my pirating.
Maybe there will be flag burning magnets soon. Shit, maybe I shouldn't have typed that as someone might steal my wonderful idea. Steal steal steal.
My family and I are unfailingly harrassed by the dumb Amerkins at the NY/ON border.
I've never been racially profiled, being lilly-ass white and all, but whenever I go to a buffet there's an audible buzz from the wait staff.
Oh, and anyone who messes with my University of Louisville Fighting Cardinals bumper sticker gets an ice pick through the neck.
YNH--Louisville head FB coach Bobby Petrino was born and raised here in Helena, MT! Starting QB Bobby also dated my sister, the head cheerleader, for a couple of years. I dated his oldest sister, too. Sort of a weird incestuous thing going on. I should probably stop talking about it....
Bobby Petrino rules! Anyone who can win football games at a basketball school is a genius.
Os, write this name down: Brian Brohm. He's going to start for Louisville as a sophomore this season. He started three years in high school in Louisville and his team never lost a game and won three straight state championships.
I am just boring the Christ out of everyone. Sorry. Ago-go, feel free to post a boring comment on my site. That'll learn me.
Os, also write this name down..Egan. He's going to the slammer soon for publicizing his yellow ribbon magnet thefts on blogs. He's also an amazing running back and has a tight end. He's sure to go first round.
Were you near Valley City? My dad summers there.
You should come to Minneapolis. Just sayin.
megan, we were just east of valley city. if we had more than 24 hours, we would have much rather gone to Minneapolis. i haven't been there in a while, it's about time to check it out again...maybe this summer.
