When A Woman Should Call It A Night

“aero, I was living in Fargo in '91 (but went to MSU)....had friends that went to NDSU. Tell the story!”

“Oh......yam.......you just punned yourself! ! !”

“No. She said Moorhead. There's a difference.”

“that's why I went there, marko! :)”

“yum !

>8^O”

“Remember the cross country team from Montana that drove 620 miles to Fargo through a blizzard--

the wrong weekend?”

“In Minnesota there is a town called Fertile and a town called Climax. At some point in the 80s, a woman from Fertile died. The headline read, "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax." We always joked that it could have been "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax Looking for Moorhead."”

“Moorhead (snicker) State is just across the river from NDSU I see on my map.

Dang, I though Yam was from the South. Another 'damn' yankee!”

“SS- have you ever heard her talk?

And you still think she's from the south?”

“..... don't wanna meet ya mamma oh oh ;op”

“North Dakotans sound like they're yodeling when they talk!”

“Yam and I both attended MSU. At about the same time; right, Yam? I was there 88-90. We didn't know each other then. But I'm looking forward to doing a TT trip with ya!”

“Ruby - those places names are a headline writer's dream. Oh the possibilities.”

“embear - I've met Yam but she didn't say very much. She was to busy making googoo eyes at Artex. ;-)”

“Morehead is in Kentucky.”

“Are we talking about the same Yam? Not saying very much? Ok, but you did hear her giggling a lot, right?”

“"SS- have you ever heard her talk?"
embear
01:44:12 PM

What, like she got a foul mouth?”

“Morehead State is Phil Simm's alma mater. Not to be confused with Moorhead State.”

“aero, isn't that, "Duh-coat-unz"?


And, are they all blonde?”

“aero--
i never heard the tale of the X-country team. Were you one of the participants? Aren't you originally from MN or nearby?”

“and SS--
I have tons of yankee pride. :)”

“ND and MN are chuck full of blonde Norvegians. Ufda feda!”

“you guys all sound funny anyway.”

“Don't forget the Icelanders!”

“dang, though. the boys up der are sweeeeeeeeeeeet.”

“My momma was born in Campbell, Minnesota.”

“We drove out for the NCAA Regional, but we didn't know about the date change. We ended up at the NDSU fieldhouse just when a bunch of reporters came in and were interviewing the football and basketball coaches. It was such a bad blizzard they were moving a bunch of games into the Fargo Dome.
Anyway, they heard about our plight and sent the story out on the AP wire and it went EVERYWHERE! it even ended up in Sports Illustrated...
We just got drunk and drove back home through the blizzard the next morning.”

“Ya gotta watch that driving drunk, aero.....especially in a blizzard.”

“I think I want to move somewhere where it snows a little more often.
How is Artex anyway Yam? ;o)”

“LMAO aero!! That is too funny! Which bar did you drink at? Just think, you, Ruby, and myself all coulda met that weekend....so long ago........sigh. :)”

“We just drove with the windows open.”

“It was some kind of sports bar at (or near) the mall. The NDSU team had a big halloween party too, as i recall.”

“ynami,
I believe he is doing honky dory. :)”

“What was the party bar on Broadway in Fargo?”

“who's she?”

“Nice, bit.”

“So, which one of you girls went to F.U.?”

“Ruby,

I don't think yam will be surviving the Hike Maine trip, you'd better find other TTers to hike with!”

“Bobo...there's a difference between surviving and returning...

<snif>...I miss yam already...<snif>”

“ruby:
the one w/ the big schooners? or the dance bar down the street from it?

Bobo. What's the heighth of Katahdin? That's how far you will fall from your "unfortunate" accident. mooooooooooooohahahaha.

bit! don't worry! I will return. even if i am of the afterworld.”

“Go get 'im, yam!”

“I remember now. The bar was called The Old Broadway. Good place. That's where my fake ID got the most workout.

There was no FU, silly boy. Fargo/Moorhead is a happening college town though with Moorhead State, North Dakota State, and Concordia College. It seems like those three schools are pretty much where the majority of the north and west central MNers and east NDers went to college.


Hey Yam, did you ever go to any of the Owl parties? Remember that fraternity? Those were definitely the best parties. Every year they had their huge annual party somewhere out on some old guy's farm in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota. What a blast!!!”

“Ruby, ever heard of Campbell, Minnesota?”

“MarkO, not ringing a bell. Where is it? My hometown was Pelican Rapids.”

“ruby:
i had 3 friends that were Owls (we're actually having a "reunion" of sorts next year) good gracious they were wild!! did you hear what happened to that frat? they got in trouble w/ the school for their hazing.....had to close their doors. the owls were no more my last year up there. :(”

“marko--you making that place up? heh heh. i never heard of it, either. but MN is a purty big state w/ lotza little towns.”

“I didn't know that, Yam. But that doesn't surprise me. I remember hearing some of the stories. Pretty wild.

MarkO, I don't see Campbell in my Atlas. Was that your hometown?”

“MY hometown is Washington, D.C.

I'm a cross between Squarehead and Hillbilly.”

“It looks like Campbell is on a line between Fergus Falls, Minn and the point at which the BIG three states meet.

15 miles SW of Fergus Falls and 10 miles NE of the tri-state point.

I've never been there and mom grew up in Chicago.”
