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 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.

    A lot of very different kinds of people really can get along when we sit down to listen to a good story :)

  7. freakyguru Says:

    What’s wrong with …
    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.

    when garrison sings, keith olberman, don imus, rush limbaugh and bill o’reilley join hands, sit around a campfire and sing………………..the judy garland song book.

    Complex to live with, and to be comfortable with, my own opinion and the opposing opinions of other people?
    Nya. You give me too much credit. I think it’s just part of being a grown up :)

    Does anyone have …
    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.

    So what happened …
    So what happened with the wire from the coil?

  13. BooBooLane Says:

    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.

  14. brynok Says:

    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.

    You’re not no good no more, :) .

    You’re gay…not that there’s anything wrong with that.;)

  17. BooBooLane Says:

    clip does not …
    clip does not listen no good no more; “in other words, he does not listen.

    Keillor has routinely ridiculed gays and been a big, fat rah-rah for patriotism.

  18. columbusclipper Says:

    He’s not anti-gay …
    He’s not anti-gay or pro-Iraq war, you ing idiot.

  19. BooBooLane Says:

    Keillor should be …
    Keillor should be locked up for impersonating a person.

  20. garyowen4ever Says:

    when HILLARY …
    when HILLARY CLINTON LAUGHS, Garrison Kiellor seeks refuge in a convent of polish nuns and recites the baltimore catechism, vows to do stations of the cross every friday in lent and say the rosary of St. Margaret with FULL S OF THE CROSS!

  21. BooBooLane Says:

    Keillor is an …
    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’.

  22. BooBooLane Says:

    Boo-Boo’s way is better after all.

    Travel the Boo-Boo Lane.

  23. BooBooLane Says:

    garyo-4 for …
    garyo-4 for president. Many of us do not even consider Garrison Keillor to be human.

    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!

    OMG, yes! That’s it completely! I’ve been searching for the right descriptive words for his sound for years, and that’s it right there!
