our man eide just reminded me of medora. or if you prefer medora.com now, my family had been there a few times, and it seemed pretty normal to me when i was a kid, but looking back, its sooo whacked, it kind of scares me that there are people who sit around and think of new ideas for medora.

Posted by: brian on October 7, 2003 01:14 PMMy family would go to medora every summer.
i loved medora. my favorite was the gun arcade
game where you would shoot at sensors in a saloon scene and the appropriate item would be animated.
And once while there my brother and sister were throwing me back and forth in the motel swimming pool, the one by the mini put-put course, they threw me for some time and i was begging them to stop when they finally let me rest i was sitting on the pools edge, still in the water but on the steps and i puked on this kids back. complete vegetable soup style, but the kid never realized it. scared i looked at my brother who was sitting there with me and we just ran outta there.
Posted by: david on October 7, 2003 01:30 PMthat reminds me of the punking on ivy johnson episode in mr. stenhjem's band class, 7th grade. oh the memories! i'm pretty sure we had fishwiches that day. god, i still feel horrible for that. memories are made of this...

Posted by: larry on October 7, 2003 02:48 PMi have a medora story:
i was working for the 'prairie news journal' w/ daryl dorgan and we we're stopping in all of these podunk western nodak towns like dickenson and watford [nothing like minot. . .which is a bastion of western north dakota urban excellence] and we end up at medora. so i get a free ticket to the musical w/ my homegirl trina [ok, she was my boss]. so we're at the musical and the announcer is announcing the cast like "scott nelson, from pierre south dakota, jennifer well, from aimes iowa and on an on BUT the very last guy was from new york city. so i yelled NEW YORK CITY?!!? i swear, it was the funniest thing i had ever heard so i start laughing at myself. and all of the olde thymers just turn around and stare at me like i farted in church.
then,
i went to the little bar there w/ the wooden floors and played pool w/ this girl for a few rounds. at breakfast the next day at the olde thyme hotel [badlands inn?] the girl i played pool w/ was our server. it was one of those really weird uncomfortable moments and it didnt help that daryl [the governers brother] was nudging me and snickering.
ok, i know this is the longes post ever BUT:
im a graphic designer at this cable access place and i just sent some pdf's to a local suburban paper and this is the reply i get:
is this todd holdman from minot ND.
signed,
jeremy nelson
crazy.
scott that was one unforgettable puke! i've never seen a person's face so green as yours was then! i had front row seats. you had run out of the room by then but ivy just sat there and actually asked mr. S. if she could go to the bathroom to clean up. mmm, fishwich.
Medora is one of ND's few jewels. jaime and i are members of the "Rough Rider Posse", we had to mountain bike, hike, and ride horses and it was 101 that August day. my horse had bad gas though and jaime was the lucky one to be on the horse behind me!
Posted by: Mike on October 8, 2003 08:11 AMI, too, was in Medora with Daryl. His rolling eyeballs nearly brushed the ceiling when I asked for Dijon with my buffalo burger.
