'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Lyle bought a new red sports car based on a magazine advertisement. He didn't buy it in LW. It wouldn't start because someone put a potato up the tailpipe. The car wasn't meant for a 44-year old science teacher. Lyle needs to lose weight. Friendship in LW. The pinball machine at the Sidetrack ate GK's ball. Carl K put his arm around him. Lyle went into the Sidetrack and Wally said to him, 'What do you want?' Wally was steamed about a story in the Tavern Owner's Magazine about a lawsuit. The Wednesday evening show by the Lundeen's Gospel Performing Birds the LW Lutheran packed the church. Ernie prayed that those who came to scoff would be deeply blessed. Four canaries played a hymn on the xylophone. Birds in costume enacted several plays. It was stunning. The birds took up the collection. Erma gave her testimony. The program closed with the birds landing on their shoulders.


Other mentions/discussions during the show

St. Paul is not the entertainment capital of the world because the weather is poor. Shy people are more than 97% water. IRS reminds children to declare all of their Halloween candy.
