as I was on my way to visit the campus of the University of Minnesota - Morris the other day, I passed a sign that said "Giant ball of twine!" well yea, of course I had to check it out.

Turns out Weird Al is a huge fan of it (has a song written about it!) and goes there A LOT. His picture is all over the gift shop. And check out the rad shirt I got -

oh yes. it was a great day indeed.

We used to make giant balls out of sock tape in hockey, one time we a guy on my team threw it into the toilet and cracked the toilet. It was great.

Ha! That is so funny. When I was 19 my best friend and I (and our boyfriends) went on a roadtrip around MN visiting friends and such and that was one of our destinations (now you know the excitement that is growing up in Minnesota)! I even bought that same T-Shirt. Wish I still had that...
Good times
