So I just saw Fargo...

I’d kinda suspected it meant “Upper Peninsula,” but that was just a guess. Cut me a little slack, though: even if I’d never heard the term, at least I know that Michigan has an upper peninsula.

I can respect that, given that you’re Canadian. But, should I have connected “Bear Flag Republic” with Canada?

Not many other Americans know that much about Canada, after all.

Wait! Canada has an Upper Peninsula?! Why wasn’t there a memo?! I’m so confused…

I thought the movie was hysterically funny and dark. After being married to a Minnesotan “Ranger” and being around her family for 20 years listening to them talk in that very fashion, preoccupied with the weather and cars, and relentlessly cheerful, I thought the Coens did a wonderful job of skewering the microculture of the midwest.

Well, you didn’t sound annoying to me when I met you, SF. Or at least not because of your accent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :gasp: HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Whatever, at least I know what sound the letter “J” makes. ZING! or somethin’.

(Why yes, this is the only reason I bumped this thread.)
