How about the 51st state, which is a big state, which senator clinton will win. State of Denial

(compliments of mr. colbert)

Well Missouri is next on my list (none / 0)

because I almost became a resident of their state... I decided against WUSTL in favor of my home state school.

I will get a lot of flames then I suppose, but I do have experience with Southern Cali though (SD and LA), but nothing with Texas.  My cali diary will be one long diary insulting every part of the state...

Those of us who live in Souther Cal (2.00 / 1)

would like a separate diary that insults just us.  We do not believe that we can share any insults with the evil San Franciscans.

If the diary is long enough you can (none / 0)

and it is part of the insult to lump disparate groups together (it makes it a double insult diary)

;)

Ha! Funny stuff. I lived in MN for 3 months. And it was... (ops, memory erased)

My sister lives in Edina, still.

Frostbite (none / 0)

I heard MN-polis/St. Paul is awesome but if I moved to Minnesota, I would probably freeze to death and they would package my corpse up labeled "gourmet carne" and put it in a freezer in Whole Foods... right by the arugula.

Don't get me started on Minneapolis (2.00 / 2)

It is a split between an epicenter of crime (see North Minneapolis, U of MN campus) and a massive pile of hippies (see Uptown, Prospect Park U of MN campus).  It is the worst city ever.  Also about St. Paul, the streets are so crooked a drunken irishman could do a better job of drawing a straight line.  Also about Minneapolis, it has a lot of lakes and smells, and St. Paul has weird winter traditions of worshipping a winter cult centered on the King Winter and the Northern Wind...

Re: Why Minnesota is a sewer (part one of a 50 par (2.00 / 3)

Since you're an Obama supporter, don't you mean part one of a 48 part series?  Just kidding... I figured I'd make the joke before someone else did.

Seriously though, funny diary.


And so, may evil beware and may good dress warmly and eat lots of fresh vegetables.

I am in the coin flip camp (2.00 / 1)

I say flip a coin and get this stupid primary done with.  John McCain is getting a free pass and is looking mature and reasonable compared to our candidates who look like squabbling babies.

Re: I am in the coin flip camp (2.00 / 2)

No kidding.  I'm still optimistic that this drawn out primary will prove to be helpful to the Democratic party nationwide, but it is depressing to see everybody at each others throats all the time.

Yeah, Minnesota blows.

Even Prince left.

The only thing we have left to be proud of is our glorious Senator, Michelle Bachmann, who is like a ray of light in this godforsaken state -- if rays of light hid in the bushes at gay rights rallies to spy on the homosexuals, but got caught on camera by a local newspaper, and then had to explain that they weren't kneeling in the bushes because they were hiding, but because they were tired of standing.

You are time travelling (2.00 / 1)

we won't elect Michelle for another 4 years as a Senator, she is still unfortunately stuck in the House of Reps.  Also don't forget the boy-wonder T-Paw who tried to veto a bill for more transportation money, don't people know that our raods are just fine it is liberal propaganda that caused the bridge to collapse and the MNDot Building to fall into disrepair...

I knew I had that wrong as soon as I hit post.

That's another thing that sucks about MN -- nobody proofreads here.

LOL, that's hilarious! (none / 0)

Can't wait until you do the South. Don't forget to talk about how awesomely racist we are! That's all a lot of people know about Southerners -- that we're toothless, ignorant, barefoot, and racist.

Why are we talking about MN, though? Wasn't it a caucus? Yeah, your state totally didn't matter. MY state, on the other hand -- oh wait... My state was too southern and too red. It didn't matter either. Damn!

Even John McCain lusts after teh engels.
by sricki on Thu Apr 24, 2008 at 03:24:15 AM EST

I am doing a border state next in MO (none / 0)

and I am going to hit it heavy on StL being a crime capital (I got mugged there).

Also in the south I saw people wearing the confederate flag (guess their race... you'll be surprised...).

And also I can talk about the likelihood of the southerners driving cars without doors and running moonshine...

Re: Why Minnesota is a sewer (part one of a 50 par (2.00 / 1)

I guess I'm not familiar with that old sewery smell.  If you can eat lutefisk then a little lakey smell shouldn't bother you too much.

I grew up in the only county in Minnesota without a lake or a traffic light (I believe it now has one traffic light).

Even if we had lakes the smell might have been masked by the sweet odor of CAFO turkey shit.

(Oh, by the way, Duroc-York-Landrace was what I grew up with.  We're part-timers now.  Mostly raised Berks, but thinking about some Tamworth-Berk crosses.)

Go Vikes.


by emptythreatsfarm on Thu Apr 24, 2008 at 07:35:35 AM EST

I know of a few counties by where I grew up (2.00 / 1)

It is only true in the cities I think, and lutefisk is not the greatest food on earth, but it is edible.  CAFO's are horrible there is one 5 miels from my parents farm fortunately it is usually upwind.

I think you mean Skol Vikes!!!!  They got a the real deal in Allen.  I think they'll win 11 this year if their stars are healthy.

Why doesn't South Dakota have a pro football team? (2.00 / 1)

Because then Minnesota would want one!

And I can get away with that (I hope!), as a member of the Minnesotan disapora.  I may have lived most of my life in South Dakota, but my heart bleeds DFL blue.  I spent most of my summers along the Zumbro River, and still have a lot of family there.

Did you know the Minnesota state bird was the mosquito?
