Minnesota boy makes good, wins Nobel Prize for Literature...

And just when the coffee supply is seriously in trouble...

Somebody tweeted this:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote -->
The fact that Bob Dylan is trending because he won a Nobel prize, and not, like, because he was murdered by a clown is honestly a blessing.

<!-- END TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote -->They were honestly not having their morning cup or over last night's green day.

But "Far Out"! to say what that Denver dude would have said.

I say we ditch both candidates and write in Bob Dylan. He's gotta serve somebody after all.

White House jam sessions will at least be awesome.

Don't like the situation in the Situation Room? Roll tape and play.

PS Having just won the Nobel Prize, he's made more than the President this year without royalties.

Dillon was Born In Hibbing Minnesota not Duluth. I rented the house across the street from where he was born when I ran a Hotel Kitchen in Hibbing

Slap Google around for that, I thought and I checked, it was political and lied.

Either I've lost my editing mojo or it's just vBulletin.

By the way Web, this is another one of those threads, but it might not even matter.

Dylan finally acknowledged he won yesterday in a blurb on his website, and today all traces of that mention are GONE, leading to rampant speculation that he may refuse it.

That would sound about right for Bob, but who knows. The Nobel committee says they haven't been able to get ahold of him anyway. One search hit brought up that Kurt Vonnegut called Dylan the "worst poet alive"...
