Garrison Keillor enters the stage and sits down. He offers a 30-minute monologue on how the NFL draft is much like growing a garden. He follows up with another 30-minute monologue about how football in small Minnesota towns was where friendships were forged and how it developed pluck and persistence among those whose natural gifts were not athleticism.
At this point everyone has dozed off, but one nodding sound technician recorded these words as Keillor was transitioning from a metaphor about tractors to an anecdote about seeing a moose while canoeing on a Minnesota lake.
"The Minnesota Vikings select Richard LeCounte III, S, Georgia." [Reply]
Keillor sends a nice handwritten note on stationery paper to inform the next person that they're on the clock. Not one of those fancy digital clocks that has all of the functions, but a good cherry-burnished grandfather clock that sits by the stairs and stolidly chimes the passage of time. [Reply]
