Plot

A tongue-in-cheek guide to speaking like a native while in Minnesota. Includes such stuff as: learning how to refuse food 3 times before accepting it ; discovering the difference between "not too bad a deal" and "a heckuva deal" ; seeing local attractions like the Particle Board Pageant, Cat Sailing Days, and Deep Woods Tent Casino ; and much more.
