I never seem to have the famous accent until I go 'up nort' to see the family. I suppose I have the 'cities' accent until I'm reminded of my roots. We like to go hunting, fishing and snowmobiling. Good times almost always involve a case of beer, a bonfire, a four wheeler and mosquito repellant.
The land is the most beautiful I have experienced, the cities are clean and the people are - just like the famous saying goes - 'Minnesota Nice'.
Enjoy some of our humor. If you don't get it.....you'll just have to visit.
(I highly recommend June, July or August)

YOU MIGHT BE A MINNESOTAN IF....
Your state pays a bounty for killing the state mascot.
You consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping the food will swim by.

You believe that people rushing out on the lakes with their pickups in November is nature's way of upgrading the state's gene pool.
You are proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation.

You have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
Your town has an equal number of bars and churches.
You go to a high school basketball game, the score is 12-8 at half time, and you don't think there's anything strange about that.
You have ever had an entire telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number.
You know how to say Wayzata, Mahtomedi, and Shakopee.
You consider Lime Jell-O a highly versatile food: a breakfast dish when it's filled with fruit, a salad when it has shredded carrots and a dab of mayonnaise, and a dessert when topped with Cool Whip.

Every time you see moonlight on a lake you think of a dancing bear, and sing, gently, "From the land of sky-blue waters....Hamm's, the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing."
You think that 20 below is cool, 40 below is getting cold, and 60 below ain't bad if there's no windchill.
When people ask what you do in Minnesota in the summer, you reply, "Well, if it falls on the weekend we go to the lake."
You always make sure you have a can of cream of something soup in the cupboard just in case you need to make a hot dish for the church potluck.
