You are mistaken on Minnesota #3. It's not casserole, it's "hot dish".

Not bad...the Minnesota bit rings true.

However my parents retreated to Mesa Arizona every year after they retired. A massive RV parked in a RV park. That made them comfortable and happy...which in turn made me very happy. Anybody dissing snowbirds can kiss my fugkin ass bitches.

1) Your dentist lives in another states.

2) Mountain Dew will get you a DWI.

3) A man with legs of the same length is a considered handicapped.

4) Corn raised for "livestock feed"... comes in 3rd.

5) The use of brakes while driving is strictly optional.

6) It is legal to marry anyone... and I mean anyone.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Yep, Michigan isn’t much different. Casseroles aren’t as popular as they used to be but I grew up on casseroles, ketchup, salt, pepper, and garlic, and being told to pick a Halloween costume that would fit over a winter coat!

I don't think I've ever seen a store where you could buy bait that didn't also have movies or a Redbox, they pretty much go together.

Not all that long ago there was a liquor store on the edge of town,.."Belcher's Liquor".

The counter was a glass case where they displayed a very decent selection of handguns for sale. Of course, you could also buy cigarettes there.

It was "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms" one stop shopping.

There was a neon sign at a store on the business loop in Columbia, MO in the late 70's "LIQUOR GUNS AMMO"
