Dorgan, D-N.D., and his staff had created, updated and publicised a facebook and twitter account, as well as a regularly updated blog, 15 months prior to the expected arrival of the internet to North Dakota.The internet has been slated to be available to North Dakotans in December of 2010 or later.

Funny, yes. But we NoDakers take our state seriously. However, it's too cold up here and we don't have any trees to tie anyone to, so we'll just have to find another way to make you squeal like a pig. Maybe your mama, er, your sister can help. Wanna make you feel at home, after all.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got Bismarck spelled right. And in the right state. *hands you a hayseed*

So please post some more stuff on Baker, Conrad, Lincoln, Cotton, Coldman (my favorite, looks like my english teacher), Cox, Drown, Fred, Frenchy, etc. I need to feed my family, I get paid by the word.
