Vermillion Residents Bogarting Good Blog Material

A weekend trip to Vermillion, S.D., revealed that HIA contributors residing there were keeping excellent blog stories to themselves. The reason for this secrecy was not disclosed.

Information not being shared by the trailergentsia includes:

* A song that features lovely harmonies about an overly friendly dog named Dingus.
* Videos of the regular hootenannies taking place in Vermillion, including a performance of "Stop Dragging my Heart Around"
* An third-place honor taken in the local arts council 2006 Chili Blues contest
* A song about IKEA love
* A taxidermied muskrat and pheasant known as "Muskie" and "Fez" who are regularly dressed in seasonal attire but apparently not photographed for HIA News readers
* Very entertaining videos from YouTube that could easily be linked to, if certain people could be bothered to think of others

As it turns out, a cetain biology-major Vermillion-ite had not even been told about the existence of the HIA News blog.

One hopes that the Vermillion trailergentsia will consider the significant entertainment needs of the HIA readership and correct these lapses as soon as possible.

typical, they are always doing funny, cute and interesting things, but they are all so south dakotan about it "oh, no one wants to hear about my....or how i...or this other thing i am doing.." or maybe they are just lazy, or they can't be bothered.

Ha ha ha!!! Oh! That is too good.

God, we are ingrates aren't we?! Muskie and the Fez, the love between Jefe and Dingus that dare not speak its name, and....sigh....the endless joy that Candypants bringeth.

We clearly didn't know what we had! How can we compare to the beauty of Paha Sapa, the cultural carnivale that is the Twin Cities, the be-palm fronded majesty of a tropical paradise!?

Thank you for bringing this issue to light. I, too, was appalled to find how much news I had been missing. Not to mention all the neglected photo ops.

Other bogarted news:
*Idea conference with discoverer of 'Supercroc'
*Bad leprechauns sporting shamrock tattoos in local pub window
*new barrista in town

Omigod, I totally forgot about the leprechauns.

Dude they just don't care about the blog. There is no blog love in Vermillion.
