Only in North Dakota

The American Bison (aka buffalo) has had an important role in the early history of North Dakota. On the state capital grounds in Bismarck is a statue paying homage to the bison. Recently, a little snow melt during the day with freezing overnight temperatures added a bit more realism to the statue.

haha! Our local town has a "Bullthistle Festival" every August complete with bullthistle judging, king/queen/fireworks etc. Yes you might ask, the ole common bullthistle that grows wild complete with all its prickliness. Then there is Byron's

Edible Festivals.png

a uniquely edible feast stumbled upon after a daylong hike along the Illinois River at Starved Rock State Park. After laughing ourselves silly we garnered our nerve and sampled the delicacies. I suppose it's no different than eating Scrapple--similar to English white pudding.

Ian, since you didn't post Dilbert's daily chuckle, I figured you needed a chuckle from the other side of the "pond."

I was tempted to think "only in America" until I looked at some of the links on that page!

Well I can't just link to Dilbert every day (though I do look at it every day). Chuckles are always welcome.

But today's Dilbert was priceless (thankfully my present boss is not of the "pointy-haired" variety, but it did bring back memories...)

Yes, it's priceless and I thot Ian might have posted; I'm glad you did ROFL

I did think of it, actually, but didn't want to get the reputation of always posting a link to the latest Dilbert as a matter of course!

Almost as good as one of my all-time favourites where the boss says his laptop has frozen up ... Remember that one?

Yes, that one was brilliant!

Is that more or less disgusting than haggis or faggots?

< haggis > faggots and neither will be rendezvousing in my tummy any time soon~!

You don't know what you are missing. Have you applied the principle, which we all tell our children, that you can't say you don't like it before you have tried it?

You know what? Etch-a-Sketch is built by the Ohio Art Company in Bryan, OH about 25 min from here. This is a keeper~! It is my all-time favourite as well

This one is priceless
