Having lived in MN for a short period of time in 1969 these took me back.

inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by,

"If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time,

Every year this one kid on my school bus would rock some Zuba shorts and his starter jacket in the middle of January :scratch:

Wrong forum.

That is simply perfect. (I also did understand them and forward them. Plus, living north of Brainerd I guess I'm already on vacation!!!)

Wasn't this already posted a few months ago...I'm pretty sure that I printed it out to give to my fiancee (who is from Minnesota)...still funny, though!

I have only been a member here since the end of July so it might have been posted before then. Also, I forget that there are other forums on the message board here. Maybe this should have been in the clubhouse forum. My bad.

Just to add a couple to the list.

You might be from MN if you went to see the movie "The Color Purple" thinking it was about Bud Grant.

If you own a hat with horns and braids attached.
