"Try Lalapalooza on them! That's a panic!"

Aren't the characters from Terry and the Pirates?

I think I spotted one today at he Japanese grocery store.

On a more useful topic, is there a book on how identify a Canadian from a Minnesotan?

Minnesotans are waterproof

Minnesotans don't say "about," not "aboot."

Or rather, they do say "about."

Ask him how many downs there are to the field. If that fails, the Minnesotan will usually take cheese deprecation more personally.

They also say "Oh fer," as in "Oh fer sick" and "oh fer stupid" At least, the rural women do.

Minnesotans don't make eye contact when they talk to you. Two Minnesotans, talking to each other, will angle their bodies to face the opposite direction at about a 60 degree angle. Particularly true among the men.

Actually, Canadians say "about." Americans say "abahwt."

Minnesotans are fat, corn-fed whores!

Say "tabernac" and see if they blush, then offer 'em a beaver tail and see if they salivate.

There are a few people I suspect are Japanese but I have no idea how to get them to try to say "Lalapalooza" without appearing suspicious.
