The most significant influences on my life (in a rough, combined order of both priority and chronology):

1. Um... well, there was that time... crap, I don't know.

That's very profound!

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

It sure is!

[serendipity.livejournal.com]

Do you ever say "You bet!"? Or is that just a Minnesotan thing?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

I think I've spoken those words, but not often. I'm not sure of their origin, either, you betcha!

[serendipity.livejournal.com]

I assumed it was Norwegian or Swedish.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Sure sounds like a common midwestern thing. But you gotta say it with a strong enough accent.

[serendipity.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's definitely MIN-e-SO-tan, I just wasn't sure if it got past the border into Wisconsin or not. Residents of Lake Wobegon say You bet a lot, as did many of my childhood neighbors.

Yeah, it's hard to put a list like that together.

Are you making fun of people? Because if you are....

(we deserve it)

Okay, enough introspection. Back to silly stuff.

Hmmm...that's a stumper, alright...

*arms crossed..stern look* Cindy hasn't been a significant influence in your life?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Oh, introspect all you want. I tried it, myself. Just didn't work out so well.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. I thought of her and one other, but then the post would have lost its humor.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

I did think of a couple. Certainly not enough to make a whole list.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

I'm not good at that sort of thing.

[roadskoller.livejournal.com]

Just kidding. ;)

People say "you bet" or "you betcha" in Iowa. I remember explaining to a friend at work that I really liked going to Iowa every year. "I need to rest my eyes on all that open space; I need to be in a place where if you need help you can ask someone and they'll say 'you bet' and do it with a smile."

I kinda thought he was making fun of himself.

And there's no such thing as enough introspection! :P
