With all the holiday activities I’ve been remiss in following up on the “weird habit” meme I inflicted on several new MOB members a little while back.
One of the first to respond was Erik at Almost on the Range, though he answered the questions in his comment box rather than in a new blog post. This is an excellent conservative blog focusing on the Duluth scene with direct and hard-hitting insight on political and economic issues (frequently the same thing), the occasional mayoral drunk-driving arrest — and high school hockey. Erik doesn’t think he has too much weirdness to self-report in his list, but does note that his existence in Duluth might be considered weird because “I’m not a liberal democrat, don’t work for a non-profit … (and) am under 30.” Going to his blog will make for an interesting visit to Duluth, unfortunately without being able to stop at Tobies on the way.
Big Chris at Because I Said So also weighed in, though it meant taking time away from writing a paper for his graduate studies program, moving, and his imminent wedding, so his take on what is weird might be relative (which Chris will especially appreciate once he meets all of his new in-laws). He also has a habit that undoubtedly makes air-travel problematic. Great photo-shopped image to go with the post, too.
Surly Dave, the chef/welder, also responded and I could probably go on and on about the implications of his post, but let me just list a few key words: lutefisk, limburger cheese, food porn. Add in the fact that his wife took over completing the list and it’s an intriguing read.
I’ll follow up on the other blogs I tagged if/when they respond.
Nightwriter, thanks for the kind words.
