Sweeeet! \*\* Hey, Deminem, remember the part in that movie where the female cop says that she’s taking a drive through Moose Lake? Yeah, I lived in Moose Lake for _years_ and, believe me, that wasn’t any part of Moose Lake I’ve ever seen. I hate that damn movie. ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by Silver Fire \* \*\* > [@](#): > > No, I’m in Mora. It’s not great. It’s really not even very good. \*\* Ah, the suburbs of Hinckley. You could do worse. I must actually like Duluth. It’s the only viable explanation for the fact that I’m still here. Definitely more fun to complain about it than admit to liking it, though.
