Warbird Information Exchange

Fellow cheeseheads, before you get overly excited, just remember that Paul was the one who thought Anoka was located in our fair state.

I would be very surprised to learn of an unknown razorback in our area. Closest is Randy Ferris's bits down in Marengo, IL (already mentioned). I'd be quite happy to be proven wrong though.

Perhaps the fellow saw some of the Hellcat chunks that used to exist over near Green Bay?

Wisconsin = folks tend to wear more green
Minnesota = folks tend to wear more purple

Wisconsin = bratwurst (sausage of the gods...tastebud heaven)
Minnesota = lutefisk (Cod soaked in lye; jelly-like...what evil crime did your tastebuds ever commit to deserve this?)

Wisconsin = large, beer-drinking wimmens; wipe mouth with back of hand
Minnesota = large, beer-drinking wimmens; wipe mouth with front of hand

I hope you and other nonuppermidwestern folk have found this useful. Now back to owl hunting.

Thanks for sharing Dan's comments above...how very true they are!!

Reminds me of the old joke about Wisconsin women...What's the difference between a woman from Wisconsin and a cow?...(answer)...20 lbs and a bowling shirt!

John

:oops: uh... who are they?

Yah dare hey, youz guys got most of it covered ainah?

The "New" Tourism Policy


Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and
Californians visit the Midwest, the Minnesota, Wisconsin and surrounding
states Tourism Council has adopted a new policy. In an effort to help
outsiders understand the rural Midwesterner's mind, the following list will
be handed to each person as they enter the Midwest.

1. That slope-shouldered farm boy did more work before breakfast than you do
all week at the gym. How'd you like to go home and tell your momma you got
your butt kicked by a big guy in bib overalls?

2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going
to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because I need it.
Drive it or get it out of the way.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old.
Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it.

4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your
butt kicked...by our women.

5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a muskie
breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little 13-inch trout
you fish for...bait.

6. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final
approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear
at the time.

8. That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you
paid in the airport for one drink.

9. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it
rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham
and turkey.
Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a
long spoon.

10. So you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed.
We have quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year.

11. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when
it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

12. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks--because they want to.
So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.

13. Yeah, we eat catfish,--and turtle. You really want sushi and caviar?
It's available at the bait shop.

Buttered bisquits--now I'm messing up! It's a wonder I find the correct way to work some days.

Sorry Paul.

You Connecticut folks all look the same to me.
