		In 1991, the Twine Ball was moved (by truck and crane) to its current home, an event publicized in the local papers and, apparently, the National Enquirer.

		If you want to know where it is it's right here, and if you want to send it a letter then I guess "Twine Ball, Darwin, MN 55324" will get there.
		What's also interesting is that a section of the song lists all the other weird and wonderful locations that this please-God-let-them-be-fictional family has visited, so I set myself the task of tying the lyrics to the attractions mentioned and I'm delighted to say they're all true.

	weapon-shaped: Al, So Weird
		To most he is "that one cornball who makes fake versions of real songs," but anyone that has really taken the time to listen to him knows that there is a lot more to him than "Eat It" and "Fat." Sure, every album is going to have his signature parodies of the years biggest songs.
		But for every "I Think I'm A Clone Now" there is a "Velvet Elvis" and in the case of Al's UHF Soundtrack album, he tempers "Beverly Hillbillies" with what I consider his magnum opus: The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota.
		"Twine" is the epic tale of a man's quest for truth and happiness for himself and his family, all the while paying homage to the minutae of the lower-Middle class lifestyle as well as the true Americana spirit.
