Whether you're scrolling through Citypages, reading through what passes for culture in VitaMN, or browsing comments on the ST messageboards, Minnesotans sure love to brag about their fine state.
"We Minnesotans" is the most common thing you will ever hear out of one of these galoots. (Oh, Gosh, I must be here too long if things like "galoot" are working their way into my vernacular). Anyway, most (but not all) Minnesotans are a bragging bunch. They brag about being the birthplace of Target, Best Buy, 3M, Garrison Keilor, Caribou Coffee and the like.
Unfortunately, if you were to listen to a Minnesotan for more than a day - as I do every day - you might think that Minnesota invented:
-Modern Sport
-Cures for each and every disease that has killed a man, woman or child since Ganghis Kahn
-The notion that the world is round
-The Atom Bomb
-The elbow straw
-Video tele-conferencing
Truth is, Minnesota has made some contributions to the World at large, but none of us outsiders need to hear about it every stinking minute of the day. You know the saying, "act like you been there before?" Kind of applies in this instance, dontchaknow?
I swear, after hearing all of your drivel, I feel like I'm in a frathouse talking to that guy who brags about being able to suck his own dork. The novelty has long since worn off, and in the end, I'm trapped in this room with a man who can't really see that fellating his own peni really ain't that cool. Then again, your techniques for fellating thyself bring new meaning to the phrase "Minnesotans suck."
