Concur. Caffeine, with a prison sentence. No thx. (actually, in all honesty, perhaps bc of my coffee habit--didn't feel a thing).
This whole act like they are the life of the party thing is what is weird. Are they doing this to try to cover up for the fact that they don't have any substance to run on? Its like when someone does a bunch of theatrics to distract you from something else. Save the Trump shit - my comment has nothing to do with him and is not in comparison to him, his presidency or his campaign.
Could be. They truly do not understand spice up here, given that the population base has its roots in Scandinavia. Truth: The vast majority of folks up in MN have Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish heritage. I'm Swedish! (but wasn't born in MN) Anyway, they don't understand spice up here and all too often screw up important dishes (ex. brisket) by WAY overspicing it.
Walz is trying to hide the fact that he's a sleeper agent for China. (I learned this from FoxNews.) So he behaves in a very un-Chinese-like manner, that is, in an opposite way from that cold fish Xi, who will be giving him his orders. Just call him the Great Walz of China.
Years ago when I worked in California, there was a coworker trying to raise donations to a Scandinavian hospital in Minnesota. I think he was in Sons of Norway or something like that.
