Apparently,

Garrison Keillor has a stalker -- and she sounds really crazy. According to

The Smoking Gun , a 43-year-old Georgia woman went to a taping of

A Prairie Home Companion and has been professing her love to host Keillor ever since.

She has sent him "perfumed packages at work containing, among other things, 'a petrified alligator's foot, dead beetles...rocks, marbles' and magnets." The magnets had hers and Keillor's initials on them. What a loon.

Keillor has wisely gotten a restraining order.
