Although many of you may know a Minnesotan or two on campus, you probably don't truly know what we're all about. Just to set things straight, I have created a list of things pertaining to the glorious state of Minnesota and its people that I think you should know…
1. It's a hot dish. I don't know what this casserole is that you speak of, and if you don't even know what I am talking about … just stop, please.
2. Our salads generally do not have greens … and sometimes come in layers.
3. Yes we talk funny, but no … You betchya I am not from Canada … Alright, eh?
4. We have cities and automobiles … I do not ride my cart and buggy to my farming village.
5. You measure snowfall in inches … the only amount worth measuring is feet.
6. Fishing a sport? False, it's a lifestyle.
7. Alcohol is a necessity, not a thing of pleasure – do you know what wind chill is?
8. We measure distance in minutes and hours … We leave the feet and miles to the cartographers.
9. We fry everything we can … look at the menu for the Minnesota State Fair.
10. While you hide inside your warm house during the winter, we erect houses on frozen lakes. Oh yeah, and we fish from them.
If you want to hear more, eat some lutefisk, or just hang out with an awesome crew, join the Minnesota Club. Yes, it's real.
