Post something about Minnesota!

[Angelus]

It can be good, bad, evil, angelic...whatever you prefer.

I'll start: We have a lot of lakes.

[Lindacooks]

[Angelus]

[skooooo]

YAY BOBBY!

[Angelus]

[LastKnight]

[fujiyama]

6. The last time it voted

for a republican president was 1972. That's definetely something to be proud of. Unfortunately you guys did vote for Norm Coleman.

[Angelus]

9. Don't blame me...

I voted for Walter Mondale.

[SmileyBoy]

7. Kevin Garnett!!!

T-Wolves, baby!!!

[Badger1]

8. Elected Coleman

And Ventura. I'll give you Jesse as just for fun , but Norm Coleman is a fucking scum bag of the worst degree.

10. My parents grew up there. Most of my family still lives there.

You had Humphrey, Wellstone, Mondale, McCarthy.

Al Franken is from there!

[FlashHarry]

11. Twin Tone Records!

I was surfing their site today, and it made me nostalgic for my college days, when I could go into a bar and see Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, The Magnolias, The Blue Hippos, Trip Shakespeare, and any number of other wonderful bands.

Anyone ever been to the CC Club?

[Shananigans]

22. DUDE! My Uncle used to own that place!!!!

[FlashHarry]

30. Holy Sh*t!

Whenever my band played the Entry or the 1st Ave (or Uptown or Lee's Liquor), we'd always go to the CC Club for bloody marys in the morning. Ah, the halcyon days of youth...

[Hemprus]

12. Minnesota public radio is the best!

[gmoney]

13. Al Franken! (Plus, all the children are above average.)

Any state that produced Al Franken and Bob Dylan has earned its stripes.

Is Wellstone a Minnesota native? If so, more mad props...

Not to mention Post-It notes.

[Viking12]

14. My homestate!!

Good: My favorite place on earth, Fifty Lakes, MN.

Bad: Governor Timmy

Evil: Senator Coleman

Angelic: Paul Wellstone

whatever I prefer: I'll have a Summit Extra Pale Ale, please

[Philosophy]

15. I was born in Minnesota

People sometimes say they can still detect the accent under my southern drawl. Oh yah!

[Angelus]

16. That's hokey...

Minnesotans don't have accents.

[Deja Q]

17. According to a segment on the KSTP nightly NEWS last night,

Minnesota is poorly rated in terms of the dating scene.

Yup. That's real news.

[x-g.o.p.er]

18. Uff Da!! That's a lot of pressure

to put a Missouri-Synod Lutheran under, donchaknow!!!

Youuuubetcha!!!!

[frogbison]

19. Ah, the Star of the North

Ortonville
wood ticks, mosquitos
Leo Kottke
northern lights
hot dish
mmm - potato sausage
people wave at you, whether they know you or not
Mom...(Happy Mother's Day, Mom!)

[dae]

25. New a Missourian that used the "youbetcha", he ran for Congress back

in the 80's(?), name was Wayne Cryts. He was from around Sikeston I think. It's been many years since I've heard from him. Doggoneit, I ramble as I get old, sorry bout that.

[NightTrain]

20. The Minneapolis R&B scene produced some of the...

...best music of the 1980s. Alexander O'Neal, the Time, and of course the man himself...Prince!!!

[AngryAmish]

21. I am going fishing there in three weeks

BWCA

[dae]

23. Love Minnesota, have only been there once for about two weeks to go

canoeing north of Ely at the Boy Scout camp, this was in '67 and I was 15. God, that was some of the most incredible landscapes I have ever seen. We didn't pack water, we drank the runoff from our paddles, it had tested that pure.
Didn't mean to wax nostalgic but some of my fondest memories are of that trip, and then there is the larger than life Sen. Paul Wellstone.

[SmileyBoy]

24. Minnesotans hate stadiums.

And they're completely fine with their NFL and MLB teams playing in a shithole, much unlike the attitude of every other major city in the country.

[AgadorSparticus]

26. minnesota has the 2nd largest, meanest, most relentless mosquitos on earth

they are world class, that's for sure.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Home of the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince

home of Aquavit -- famous Minneapolis restaurant with an Ethiopian-born chef

Cinematic paradise for "Fargo." ... "Which one of ya slept with the little fella?" Not to mention that Minneapolis is Mary Richard's fictional adopted hometown.

Flat, flat, flat.

Ice fishing!

Wasn't "Giants in the Earth" set there? (Or is it "Giants of the Earth?")

I never been dere!

[Mattforclark]

28. Minnesota

has two cities. Yeah.

[rumguy]

29. The North Shore is sweet!

Duluth is a strange, magical place...

Never been anywhere quite like Duluth.
