5. You are a brat!
I, for one, have never been ice fishing OR curling!
I am constantly trying to "sex-up" Minnesota's image, and you are ruining it.

6. Are you saying curling isn't sexy?
Think about it. Naked - full contact - curling....

7. Lol!
I'd prefer a naked sauna, followed by a bare-ass dive into the snow, followed by the sauna again (to counteract any issues of shrinkage.) It's fun!

14. We used to do that on open lunch hour, in H.S!
Well- not that particular lake, but I remember flying back to school with my friends, down the highway, with my bra and panties out the window, because someone had thrown them in the lake, and I had to dry them before I got back to school (short skirts like I wore back then didn't allow for going commando.)
Ahhh...memories.

30. Unfortunately, Schmidt is no more
the brand was bought by a big brewer about a decade ago, which merged the Schmidt brand with another regional brand it owned in Pennsylvania called "Schmidt's".

So now, you have to drink "Schmidt's" instead of Schmidt. Feh.

31. And I'd be EAGERLY WAITING for you, mon cherie!
We could go look at F. Scott Fitzgerald's numerous residences, walk over to the local pub (you know the one), have a nice dinner, relax at home with the cats, watch "Casino" and "Fargo" and laugh our asses off, and cuddle under the down comforter.

*sigh* ....have I told you lately that I miss you? :loveya:

33. Get ready for the next snowstorm
It's starting tonight, and we're supposed to get another 4-7" by the end of it Thursday.

One (freakishly strange) St Paul snow emergency in one week is enough.

37. I've got plenty of food in the house and bunch of DVDs I haven't watched
yet, as well as a lot of books I haven't read, so as long as the electricity and water stay on, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

35. Say hello to my friends at the Star-Tribune
Then find that restaurant that had the best Guiness on tap and hit that record shop around the corner from it.

I always told them in Minneapolis if they would move the place 200 miles south I would move there in a second. :-)
