Other than that, this pretty much sums up life in rural MN.
 
You have no bars?

Not much else to do up here in the winter other than ice fishing.

"Upnort" is, well, going up to the northern part of the state.

Maybe you could do one for down south, so we can compare?

*You buy Christmas presents at Fleet Farm. --- Where's Fleet farm??

*You spent more on beer and liquor than you did on food at your wedding. --- Haven't had one, but I doubt I would do that.

*You hear someone use the word "oof-dah" and you don't break into uncontrollable laughter. --- "Oof-dah?" What's that supposed to mean??

*You or someone you know was a "Dairy Princess" at the county fair. --- I don't know them personally, but girls from the area have been.

*You know that "combine" is a noun. --- Absolutely. And a verb.

*You let your older siblings talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post in the middle of winter. --- Nope, never did that. My cousin did though...

*You think Lutheran and Catholic are THE major religions. --- Can't say so for myself.

*You know that "creek" rhymes with "pick". --- There's another way to say it?!

*Football schedules, hunting season and harvest are all taken into consideration before wedding dates are set. --- That will probably be the case, when the time comes.

*A Friday night date is getting a six-pack and taking your girlfriend shining for deer. --- You mean boyfriend? And how about leaving out the six pack.

*Saturday you go to your local bowling alley. --- Not yet...

*There was at least one, if not several, in your class who had to help milk cows in the morning. --- You mean me?
big_smile.png


*You have driven your car on the lake. --- Uhh... Noooo.....

*You can make sense of "upnort," "bat-tree" and "warrssh." --- I can make sense out of "upnort" and "warrssh," and I guess "bat-tree" is supposed to mean "battery"?

*Every wedding dance you have ever been to has the hokey pokey and the chicken dance. --- Haha, only one.

*Your definition of a small town is one that only has one bar. --- Hmmm.... Maybe. Not that I go out to bars.

*The local gas station sells live bait. --- Absolutely. Most all of them do.

*At least twice a year some part of your home doubles as a meat processing plant. --- No, it hasn't. The pigs went "elsewhere."
wink.png


*You think that the start of deer season is a national holiday! --- Nope, for myself, it's the day we put the orange scarf and bell on the cow!

But I guess most of the folks here probably view it that way.
