Snowplow Revival

America has degraded and needs a revival. Here it is.

Minnesota snowplow names aren't funny anymore. Go look. Mass media puns always predominated, but last year they made up every single joke,^ and they're not funny. Taylor Drift? Dolly Plowton?

People. Remember who you are and to whom you belong. The land of Plowy McPlowFace; of Thorstein Veblen and Dick Guindon; of "Ole that's for the funeral!" Of the kid who made his dorm room into a hockey rink.

So in this fresh month of a tired decade I call us to return to our selves. To atone for Beyonsleigh.

Basically just to think of some funny snowplow names.

^ There was also Waipahinte, the Dakota word for snowplow. Nice! But not funny, though they are— or their cousins are; in Pine Ridge they say you can spot a Rosebud car by the tire brand: NO TRESPASSING. I bet Waipahinte is just over my head.
