Just turned on the news. 35W bridge collapsed in the Mississippi River. Cars, trucks, semis.....

Fires burning, tanker trucks, at least one school bus, more than ten cars......

Just now breaking.......

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

No.

We don’t do “durn tootin’....”

[luvie]

It’s all abooooot listnin’! :D

[Shelayne]

durn tootin’? :^D

I was born and raised here, and that is NOT a fixture around these parts.

Well at least not in the Cities. ;^)

I have a popup blocker, but I disabled it...and still had trouble listening.

[EGPWS]

Loads like solid waste, on a good day.,p>Never had a problem myself. : )

[luvie]

Oh, rats!

Well, two outta three ain’t too bad, I reckon! :D

[luvie]

It was very clear through my WMP.

I want to listen sometime when I can concentrate. :D

A guy from New York once told me, “you know, it cracks me up when you people (Minnesotans) talk about going to your cabin. The whole damn state’s a cabin!”

I gotta go, the phooones ringing......and gotta get the boooat ready for the weekend. ;)

[Lijahsbubbe]

You betcha.

[luvie]

LOL!

Ooooookey, dokey! (or is that not Minnesoooooootan either?)

yah?

[trussell]

You should listen...it’s a great show. The guy is very intellegent, and knows his stuff!

[luvie]

I did listen for a bit.

We can always use more conservative talk show hosts!

[Lijahsbubbe]

Yah it is. I had ta think for a mooooment dare. ;)

P.S. You can always tell a Minnesotan by the way they say “roof”

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I’ll see him at the fair in a couple of weeks. I’ll tell him that you said “hey!”

I once wanted to create a store the size of South Dakota. (I was 21 at the time). When you arrived at the store you could fly for free, to anyplace in the state, to actually use the products you were interested in.

(It was my humorous way of understanding Wal-Mart).

Herding cats as a lifestyle was my second great idea. Unfortunatly people around me heard this and put it in a financial investment commercial during the Super Bowl.

[luvie]

Now...how dooooo they say roof? Rooooooof?...or ruuuuuuuf? :D

Robyne Robinson’s cousin was ON the bridge when it happened. He saw the bus and construction workers falling. After helping, he went to Grumpy’s.

Wow. Robyne was relieved, he is her only relative in Minnesota.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Ruuf. Like a bark. I’ve heard people from Michigan pronounce it this way also. Funny.

[Lijahsbubbe]

(It was my humorous way of understanding Wal-Mart).

Or the Mall of America. Sounds like you have a very active imagination. And you know what Einstein said about imagination.

I get teased for the way I say Dog...and I live in Colorado. Though I think my speak is more influenced by my Nebraska and Montana backgrounds. (I could be wrong) ;)
