Now you've done it; I have the theme from Suomi Kutsuu playing in my head. Wah Jeeze! The first airing of "Finland Calling" was on Sunday, March 25,1962. It still airs every Sunday. I can remember watching this as a kid. Move over, ebonics!

The Pasty is a Yooper staple, "Yooper" Soul Food. (For those unfamiliar with this delicious treat, it is pronounced "pass-tee".) You can satisfy your pasty fix online, here don' cha know!

Some of the best fresh water fishing in the nation is in the Bay De Noc area. The PWT (Professional Walleye Tournament) will be hosting the Outdoor Channel Pro-Am August 26-28, Bay de Noc, Escanaba, Michigan (Thur. Fri. Sat.). One of my Yooper buddies took second place dere last year, eh. Details (PDF) here!

As a card-carrying Yooper (remember, I have dual citizenship), I can say without reservation the movie "Escanaba In Da Moonlight" is an accurate depiction of the Yooper dialect (and a thoroughly enjoyable movie). With the exception of the hunting camp itself, I've been to every area and scene shown in the movie. And, they're right, up Nort' UFOs are no big deal.
