    It’s just got a ridiculous sounding name that’s become a shorthand for a remote location out in the geometric center of nowhere. Sort of like Timbuktu.

    I’ll bet anyone who didn’t listen to Prarie Home Companion on a regular basis couldn’t point to Bemidji on a map without looking it up. And someplace like, say, Dubois Wyoming doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. (Although maybe Ten Sleep, Wyoming and its population of 250 might work.)
