Minnesota is owned, thanks to me
Yes, I will be representing Minnesota in the Great Vegemite Airlift. Tim Blair, an Aussie columnist and perpetual thorn-in-the-side to pompous windbags everywhere, will be mass-airmailing vegemite samples to deprived yanks across the country (and even a couple of Canadians!).
Everything I know about vegemite I learned from The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett. And, according to Men at Work, you can make sandwiches out of it.
In exchange for my very own cancelled Australian international postage stamp this generous package of Australian bounty, all I have to do is write a review of Vegemite within 24 hours of receiving it. I realize that this means that I have the awesome responsibility of composing a review which accurately reflects the entirety of Minnesota’s feelings towards vegemite , but I feel that I am up to the task.
(If I don’t write my review within 24 hours, Vegemite The Cat will smother me to death in my sleep. Yikes! I can’t just watch out for black cats either, because Vegemite The Cat is a master of disguise.)

vegemite? um, are you feeling alright? (note the rhyme) you didn’t by chance pick up that item I requested and drink the whole thing?

Hehe, no. Actually, we were going to get it on the way back, but we forgot, because we were just so tired by the time we made it to wisconsin. Plus it was a Sunday night, so it might have been difficult to find an open liquor store.
I’ll try again this weekend, since I’m heading up to Houghton for the Final Car Load Of Stuff (No, Really, I Mean It This Time)(tm).
