| Introduction | Don was found wandering the streets at the age of seventeen, begging for lefse during the great Minnesota Lutefisk Riots of 1974. Apparently he was lost in the forest as a baby and raised to adulthood by raccoons. If true, this would go a long way toward explaining his present day affection for grubs and berries, and also the fact that he feels compelled to wash his food in the river before eating it. After failed career attempts at mail-order brain surgery and buffalo wrestling, the boy settled in as an interpreter for the American embassy in Tokyo. This didn’t last long, however, due to the fact that he doesn’t speak a word of Japanese. A lifelong resident of Minnesota, he now defies convention by splitting time between developing a hardier breed of mosquito and working on his dream of constructing a Pothole Hall of Fame. Tall Tales and Short Stories is his first collection of letters to friends, dreams and incoherent scribblings jotted down on napkins in bars. It will soon be released as a major Hollywood motion picture starring Lorena Bobbitt, Lyle Lovett, and the ghost of Elvis Presley as “Bob”. |
| Interests | Singing. Writing. Playing Guitar. Camping. Listening. Remodeling (my grandfather was a carpenter). Sitting quietly in the woods for hours. Telling a story or a joke... There was this woman who had a schnauzer. One day, the dog woke up dizzy and confused, stumbled across the room, and ran right into a wall. He paid her no mind when she called his name, so she thought, “I’d better get this dog down to the vet.” After the doc had examined the canine, he said, “The problem is right here in the little guy’s ears. They’re all grown full of hair. It’s throwing off his balance, and he can’t hear a thing. I’m going to write you a prescription, which you need to get filled, and that will take care of everything.” With a sense of relief, she trotted off to the local drug store, where her pharmacist whipped up a batch of hair remover. “Here you go, ” he said as he handed over a bottle filled with a pinkish liquid. “Mix this with a cup of water, and it will take the hair right off your legs.” “Oh, it’s not for my legs, ” the lady whispered, “it’s for my schnauzer!” “Well, in that case, ” the druggist replied, “Mix it with three cups of water, and don’t ride a bicycle for a week!” |
