Hey, this is my first post in a lonnnnnggg time! I got this as a forward, sorry if you've seen it before, but I laughed so hard, I was in tears because sooo many of these are true of us Minnesotans! (Doesn't everyone measure time in hours and don't all DQ's close in winter? lol).



Jeff Foxworthy on Minnesota If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Minnesota. If you're proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Minnesota. If you have ever refused to buy something because it's "too spendy", you might live in Minnesota. If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Minnesota. If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Minnesota. If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Minnesota. If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of hisforehead, you might live in Minnesota. If you may not have actually eaten it, but you have heard of Lutefisk, you might live in Minnesota. If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Minnesota. If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Minnesota. If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Minnesota. If you know how to say Wayzata, Mahtomedi, Edina and Shakopee, you might live in Minnesota. If you think that ketchup is a little too spicy, you might live in Minnesota. If every time you see moonlight on a lake, you think of a dancing bear, and you sing gently, "From the land of sky-blue waters, .... you might live in Minnesota.... Series II. YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE MINNESOTAN WHEN: 1. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway. 2. "Vacation" means going up north past Brainerd for the weekend. 3. You measure distance in hours. 4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once. 5. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again. 6. Your whole family wears Viking purple to church on Sunday. 7. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching. 8. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events. 9. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked. 10. You think of the major food groups as beer, fish, and venison. 11. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them. 12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at Mill's FleetFarm at any given time. 13. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. 14. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow. 15. You refer to the Vikings as "we." 16. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction. 17. You can identify a southern or eastern accent 18. You consider Minneapolis exotic. 19. You don't have a coughing fit from one sip of Pig's Eye Pilsner. 20. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce. 21. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age. 22. Down South to you means Iowa. 23. A brat is something you eat. 24. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new machine shed. 25. You go out to fish fry every Friday. 26. You know how to polka. 27. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost. 28. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car. 29. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly." 30. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Minnesota friends.

Date: 3/26/2004 2:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 13119    what is "Lutefisk"  
Date: 3/26/2004 2:24:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 12072    Lutefisk is a Norwegian food--it's fish that's been soaked in lye. It kinda smells, but you pour a ton of melted butter on it. It's actually really good (either that or I'm just a good lil Norwegian! lol)  
Date: 3/26/2004 2:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 15675    luetfisk is a swedish nasty fish dish isnt it? Lol Im an Iowan so I get a few of these only I call the seasons: pre winter, winter, post winter, summer LOL  
Date: 3/26/2004 2:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 15675    ooh okay I was close on the descent then   
Date: 3/26/2004 2:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 13119    ewwww! that sounds absolutely icky! How can you eat something that is soaked in lye, they used to use lye to decompose bodies.  
Date: 3/26/2004 3:01:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 12072    LoL, I have no clue...But it really is good. It looks like...hmm, whitish, almost clear jello? I dunno. The area churches around here do annual Lutefisk and Spagetti suppers, but it's not something most people eat every day. We usually have a huge family get together once every 1-3 years and eat it.  
Date: 3/26/2004 3:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 43015    u sent me this in a email! no wonder why it sounded familiar lol  
Date: 3/26/2004 9:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 62367    Lutefisk is something that Nowegians make for the Christmas holidays. I think its made with dried salt cod. It sounds nasty. A friend's mother used to make it every year at Christmas time. This is an Iowa memory. I love it, the south to a Minnesotan is Iowa. LOL
