I thought Fargo also captured it well, again as a parody. To the outsider, Minnesotans have this distinct sense about them. I'll never forget my first job interview in Minneapolis where the board interviewing me asked me if I knew what Minnesota Nice was. I didn't. Their explanation: "Oh, Minnesotans are nice people." Thanks for visiting, Rick. Truth be told, Streep and Tomlin parody the Minnesotan way of life, as does Garrison Keillor on his weekly radio show.

I would have seen the movie allready. But it has'nt even come to the theater in the small town I live in. Hopefully they do a better job of capturing Minnesota then Fargo did. A lot of people who've seen Fargo think we actually talk that way. You know you’d think that me living in the area the Pprarie Home Companion originates from,and is based off.
