2. Don't make that fish on yer mantle an idol.
3. Cussin' ain't Minnesota Nice!
4. Go to church even when yer up nort.
5. Honor yer folks
6. Don't kill. Catch and release
7. There is only one Lena for every Ole. No cheatin'
8. If it ain't yer lutefisk, don't take it!
9. Don't be braggin' about how much snow ya' shoveled.
10. Keep yer mind off yer neighbor's hotdish!

I like 7 and 10.
Hotdish is serious business up here.
Have you seen Drop Dead Gorgeous? Is that a pretty accurate portrayal of Minnesota?
I saw it far too long ago to remember much of it at all. I think Kirsti Alley is in it though. Some of the stereotypes are true to the core, others have been exaggerated, just like the stereotypes of elsewhere.
There has to be some mention of the Praire Home Companion surely!
PHC seems to be bigger with outsiders from what I can tell. Love it though, haven't made it there yet, tried a couple of times for rush seats, but it's too darned cold to wait outside!
