Garrison Keillor spins a Halloween Yarn of Lake Wobegon
Posted on June 18th, 2009 by admin
One of the finest storytellers and Monologists of our time, Garrison Keillor is a master of wit, cadence, precision and humanity as he comfortably and effortlessly relates a tale of his fictional home town, Lake Wobegon, MN.
This monologue was enjoyed and captured live from the audience at the 2005 Halloween performance of A Prairie Home Companion in Saint Paul Minnesota at the famed Fitzgerald theater.
Truely timeless, GK is without question a National Treasure.

We recall those …
We recall those crazy guys we knew named:
Edson G
“Peanut Butter”
and “Mary” who taught us so long ago how to “take one fact and then bulls*it with cohesion.” We note that Dr/Mr Keillor and GF ‘columbine clipper’ –in truth– have nothing to say. Nada, no-thingo, zilch-skee. That is their permanent legacy.

stream of consciousness is a wonderful thing. You are probably jealous of your inability to access your own stream.

Here we have the storyteller’s equivalent of Ronald Reagan: wow them with one sentence that makes sense and then get into a stream of consciousness of purely incohesive baloney-doodle.

What’s wrong with being patriotic? And who cares what he thinks if you’re gay? be who you are and don’t worry about what others think. There is always someone who doesn’t “care for” a caertain lifestyle or opinion. Own your gayness, and screw everyone else.

Does anyone have his story on local Ice Hockey matches…guns, booze, fights and the match continuing on a broken ice sheet floating in to Lake Superior…that was one of his funniest.

Dr. Garrison …
Dr. Garrison Keillor put the woe in Lake Woebegone. In fact, Dr. Keillor’s brainwaves could kill every virus and pathology in the Universe but doctors fear these brainwaves will kill them, too.
George Spanish Bush, Jr., aka W. Allah, is a whole ‘nother nightmare.

unintelligent …
unintelligent people are usually confused about what Mr. Keillor talks about, and consequently,end up frustrated with no one to take it out on, except the person that confused them in the first place. Somewhat similar to our current president.

Keillor is an anti-gay, pro-Iraq War type, is so ear-reversible that trees and lakes are dying as well.
Keillor is ‘the worst on the Earth’.

Mr. Keillor’s voice and drivel could have forced Japan to surrender without the power of either “Fat Man” or “Little Boy.”

I only just heard about Garrison Keillor last week and as soon as I listened to him on the radio I went to the abc site and listened to past programmes. I love them all!
