Paul Bunyan: THE MOVIE

Hello there. Not too many updates on the good ol' SadBear lately, but I would like to offer you a glimpse into Minnesota culture at its finest. It's a film entitled Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan. Observe.

It's already aired on the SyFy (is that how they spell it now?) Network. Supposedly it will be on Netflix soon. I suggest you watch it in all of its horrible glory.

Unfortunately for us in the Northwoods, there was no Bemidji showing... yet. But apparently the producers are working on it, according to a story our intern wrote a week ago.

Fingers crossed!

Twins Territory

Like most members of the Sad Bear, I hate the Twins (I haven't gotten over this yet). But my impending move to Minnesota has gotten me very excited for the fact that the Twins at least have hilarious television commercials.

Exhibit A:

(Alas, Jim Thome has departed the AL Central altogether. But I still love me some JI.... JIM THOME!)

Exhibit B:

(Danny Valencia is lame.)

Exhibit C:

(The Dude Abides.)

Exhibit D:

(I don't even understand this. The Most Interesting Man in Minnesota?)

Anyway, I'll be moving to a place that boasts a giant statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Giant Blue Ox, where I will be covering Division I hockey. The only drawback (aside from the fact that it is nearly as close to Winnipeg as it is to Minneapolis) is that it's in Twins Territory.

I guess I will have to learn to handle it. Begrudgingly.
