Feeling Minnesota

Posted: Dec 14, 2011

by:

The Hennepin County Library was kind enough to bring me out to Minneapolis for the event "Paperless Authors: An Evening With Scott Sigler." So we did our literary thing, then we got down to the business of bowling. I bowled a 310. I met a ton of Junkies, they tried to give life to Scott Pigler Jr. by infusing him with Reeses Pieces, and we threw down Midwest style. Thanks to Kamelion13 for shooting this vid (because we all know he only shot one frame and I hit a strike, he didn't shoot every frame for two games until he caught me nailin' a strike, because I was all like murdering those pins, ya feel me?).

Also, check out my new victory dance. I need a name for this dance, any ideas?

It sounds like such fun, I wish I could have been there. Someday, someday.

As for the victory dance....I would call it The Penguin.

The very first thought that came to my mind was the words "Roly Poly Dance" because it looks like those Roly Poly toys that wobble side to side.

We had lots of fun with our FDO, and hope that it doesn't take so long before you come back to the great frozen tundra again. And the leftover Reese's Pieces helped me stay awake for the five hour drive back to South Dakota.

With the mention of roly polys I have been inspired for a new name for the victory dance. The Weeble dance!! We've all heard the slogan, weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

@Steffiebaby140: "The Penguin.' I like it.

@Dead_Silver: "Roly Poly Dance" doesn't quite have an air of evil to it.

I was thinking along the penguin line also but I came up with the "The Drunkin' Penguin"

I've seen that dance before! Stay Puft premiered it on Ghostbustersa few decades ago. True, he was just walking, but it looks pretty much the same... :-)

I think he made up that dance while the crazy drunk guy was having his sneezing fit during the the talk.

That sure looked like a "Happy dance" but the FDO wouldn't to a happy dance unless it was on the corpses of his enemies. So I'm not sure what I saw.

I am so bummed, I didn't know you were coming here. fortunately you got really mild weather while in MN, who would of thought that in the middle of December there would be no snow.

I think the dance could be weebles wabble and they do fall down.

It's frustrating for me, that's for sure. I announce in the newsletter, on the blog, in the podcast, on Twitter, Facebook and on Google Plus, yet still people miss me when I come to their towns.
