'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Great fires of the past. Clarence Bunsen has lost 20 pounds. He decided to diet when he saw walrus blubber in the mirror. The NBFs think it's ridiculous to diet with winter coming. Bernie, Sodie & Axel think marriage is ridiculous. Axel's TV dish is disguised as a bird feeder. They know he's watching the porno channel when the dish is set low. NBFs joke about the LW couple who bought a camper to get away from the children. One night they drove to the gravel pit and parked on an incline. When the wife moved the truck, it leaped forward and the naked husband fell out the back. She drove home mad. He covered himself with sumac and walked to the Soderberg sisters house. When they saw that he was naked, they argued about letting him in. Finally they threw him a dress and he walked home. This is a typical marriage to an NBF. Senator K. Thorvaldsen is thinking about marrying the woman that he met last winter in FL.
