At lunch I turned on my radio. Since I was last listening to the Vikings game, the station was set to KTRF 1230. To my utter enjoyment, I caught a snippet of Open Line.
I say utter enjoyment because for awhile now I've shown parts of this clip from youtube, and students always say (as did everyone else when the film, Fargo, came out in the mid 1990s) "We don't talk like that!"
No, you might not, but your relatives do!
Open Line proved that today. Mark Allen was interviewing a gentlemen about the musical acts around this area. His accent was right out of the film - as were nearly every callers'!
"Don'tcha know!"
"Tirty dollars"
"Uffda"
"Well there, then . . ."
It was grand. I just wish I could have recorded it. But it was a fun way to spend 15 minutes!
