Craig Clark wonders:
"...er, Bill Diehl? Normandale Community College? References lost on
your average S African.... I've only seen _Fargo_ once and don't even
recall these references (I intend to see it again sometime soon,
perhaps in the next 24 hours)."


Precisely.  And "Well, it *is* the Radisson" u.s.w.  I'm able to untangle
ancronyms and namedropping in Gordimer's BURGER'S DAUGHTER only after some
digging, but FARGO *is* perhaps most accessible to people from Minnesota
and the Upper Midwest (and I *know* there's stuff that I don't get either!).

Of course, we might say the same thing about Our Tom and especially GR.
Maxwell's?  Maxwell's *what*?  U.S.W.
