We decided to go for a mini-break to Duluth only once. The most exciting thing that happened was that while I was there, Ronald Reagan got shot.

The Big Fish diner is right off lake Winnibigoshish between Bena and Deer River.

Oh wait no it's the "Big Fish Supper Club" lol

I was just talking about the Minnesota Nice tonight, in regard to how customers treated the deliveryperson after receiving their luke-warm pizza on a cold February night.

this is maybe the best thing about the entire state

Yeah, that was me. I knew you looked familiar, guy-with-a-laptop-whom-I-can't-quite-place. Belated hello.

Are people still thinking of going to the Turf Club Freedom From/Boredoms etc. thing? Perhaps a pre, post, or during fap? Also, if out-of towners need couch space, I live close, and rarely get the urge to kill house guests.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 17:01 (twenty years ago)

i'm going to try and come back from Montana for the show, yeah. it lines up perfectly with a short break i get from school.

St. Uhro has a fancy theme song.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Thursday, 4 May 2006 01:48 (twenty years ago)

I am down for drinking and/or shows. Who's playing? Anyone know? I am out in the sticks, at my parent's house (YR HOME TOWN, JJ).

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 4 May 2006 02:13 (twenty years ago)

Fuzzy El Jeffe Bear's home town, too! And Sara Robinson-Coolidge, not that she's on this thread.

i'm proud to have a mom from stewartville, minnesota (10 minutes south of rochester). stewartville is home to richard sears, founder of SEARS-ROEBUCK! i've been there a couple of times myself and i can assure you it is a fantastic smelling town. easily one of the most pleasant smelling towns i've ever been to.

― ath (ath), Thursday, 4 May 2006 04:53 (twenty years ago)

I will determine shows of great import. How long are you in town, gbx?

Also, I will hold down for my collegiate alma-mater town, Northfield, as the most odd-smelling town in MN, due to the MALT-O-MEAL factory.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Thursday, 4 May 2006 05:48 (twenty years ago)

My great-great aunt Arlene worked for Sears, Roebuck (the Lake Street store) for something like 35 years. She had a cool little leather-bound memento corporate history book on the company that I used to read all the time. I wish I had it now; maybe I should look for it on eBay.

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Thursday, 4 May 2006 14:20 (twenty years ago)

Is the Lake Street store still standing? Memphis had one that big, too, but I think they've torn it down.

Austin has an interesting aroma, being SPAMTOWN USA and all.

Hey guys, go look up "douchebag" on urbandictionary.com.

lol.

OH my god, that is the greatest thing EVER. Dan, you are a king among men.

haha

I was singing "Get Low" to my co-worker this morning when I turned a corner and R.T. Rybak was standing there. Luckily, I was only to the window and to the wall.

The Big Fish diner is right off lake Winnibigoshish between Bena and Deer River.

DEER RIVER! 56636!

I grew up on Hwy 6, 3 miles north of Deer River. I went to Cyrus King Elementary. I went ice spear fishing on Winnibigoshish.

For a school field trip we went to the planetarium in Hibbing where I threw up orange soda as my classmates watched. Another time we went to the Soudan iron ore mines where we went 1/2 mile underground (IN A STEEL CAGE).

My family and I moved away in 1987 when I was in the 6th grade and I haven't been back since.

That's what I have to say about MN for now.

Bemidji, Coleraine, Cohasset, Pokegema Lake, Taconite, Duluth!

I knew three Eric J0hnsons growing up in Minnesota.

Eric was my best friend in grade school. Tell him I said hi.

four months pass...

Somebody please tell me what is up with Skyline, Minnesota, the town located completely inside Mankato?

Come over to the dark side:

Hastings looks hopefully toward the future with a dawning sense of the inevitability of all things NUMBER 5

BUT THEY ARE NOT FROM HASTINGS

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 5 October 2006 23:47 (nineteen years ago)

TRU DAT.

We can't let just anyone in. now can we? Imagine how they'd detract from the dignity of our matching windbreakers.

I was in Hastings once! I even ate there!

YOU MAY HAVE A WINDBREAKER.

Think carefully before you accept, Nate. Hastings is like the Mafia; you can try to get out, but...

I want to be in the club! let's see.... have I ever done meth?

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 6 October 2006 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks, Dan. I was just trying to figure out how Skyline got to be the Vatican City of Mankato.

I used to have a membership card to a local Hasting's. Does that count?

minnesotans obsessive jealousy of wisconsin is terribly unbecoming.

Wisconsin’s long affair with cheese began when its wheat crop faltered.

I don't think so. As much as I worship the dairy industry, I'm thankful for a pre-Thanksgiving-night lab that will keep me in Minnesota for Thanksgiving (my family, too) instead of in Wisconsin. Minnesota is way friendlier, even if I will be in Hastings for the holiday.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 6 October 2006 03:00 (nineteen years ago)

There's a state called Wisconsin?

― John Justen, the tap-dancing spirochete in your zesty chicken fingers. (johnjust, Friday, 6 October 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Is that pronounced "on-wee"?

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Friday, 6 October 2006 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

so sad

― sunny successor (katharine), Friday, 6 October 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

You'd be sadder if you realized how close Hastings is to Wisconsin. Some of us aren't allowed across the border. I won't name names.
