Not the plot, but the people. Worked with a Tennessean woman who adored it and quoted it at length, then we had to go to Mankato on business and I pointed out LeSueur (Le-SEW-er) as we passed. Then the receptionist could have been one of the hookers! A priceless look on my friend’s face. Can anybody explain the over-representation of Minnesotans on this board? BTW, St Paul, Minnesota. ---

Chique, I loved the movie Fargo. Not being from here, I could see the humor and I have met people who do talk like that, doncha know.🙂 dropzone, the reason there are is an over-abundance of Minnesotans on this board, is; when it’s zero fricking degrees outside(F) and the snow is piled up to our arses, there is not much else to do, except have sex and post on this board. ---
