Keep trying skippy, we'll let you know when you say something non-moronic.

So it's not dependent upon where you were born ? Make up your mind.

I think it's probably time for this one.

True story.

Einstein, while working as a patent clerk, wrote a patent for the state of Minnesota.

It collapsed in a snow storm.

5 decades of complete failure and workin on #6.

My mind is made up, you're a moron.

I will get on my knees and thank God every day for the fact that the Vikings finished just slightly out of the Andrew Luck/RGIII sweepstakes. That would have been their lottery ticket to a much brighter future.

Christian Ponder looks like a good backup and below average starter. He's not a completely lost cause as he showed in the final week of the regular season, but man, he pretty much handed the game to the Packers at Lambeau. I'm just really glad that isn't Andrew Luck or RGIII combining with Adrian Petersen because that would be possibly enough to make them an elite team or borderline elite team.

But I wasn't born in Moro. Can't be true.

You're parents may have lied to you about the circumstances of how you entered the world.

Bud's parents were vacationing in Wisconsin? Makes sense. That was one long vacation.

[Praying like hell no one has made this point already, Iowa Ka Bong. Nope, it doesn't matter to me that your parents were vacationing in Wisconsin when you were born. You live in Iowa now.]

Pro Football Hall of Fame? Pffft. Whatta they know?

In Minnesota they have a habit of claiming famous folk as "theirs" if they so much as fly over the state.

In fairness to Jaymo Superior, like Door County was by Illinoisians, was annexed by Minnesotans a long time ago.

With all due respect, I am a Sconnie native.

Oh and can you re-post that recipe for guac?

As a 'Sconnie native who has lived in Minny for 18 years I'm curious if you could cite an example. Personally, I haven't noticed that. In fact, there is a running joke on KFAN up here that is the opposite.

My niece, who just graduated from University of Minnesota, just got a full-time job in the scouting department with the Vikings!

Yes. I have seen it several times in relation especially to hockey players. They play like a year or less in Mn and all of a sudden they are said to have "strong ties" to the state. It would be okay if they said "former Gopher" but they love to use "Minnesota ties" when possible. I'm surprised you haven't heard it on KFAN, as I've heard Barriero make mention more than once of how MN likes to claim everyone as its own.

could this thread be any more f***ed?

LOL....yeah, like Barriero speaks for Minnesota. How about some instances of Minnesotans claiming people as "their own"?

The joke is if you aren't from here, "you're not one of us."

Dead to me.

This thread is about the Minnesota Vikings, people. Can we at least pretend to try and focus?

"For the past 47 years, the Minnesota Vikings have epitomized winning."

Got a Keillor-esque feel, no?
