Because I have Nothing Better...

.... to Write About. You get a little thing about how to tell if you are from Wisconsin. I will add my own stupid comments.

  • You know how to polka, but never tried it sober. What else do you do at weddings other than polka... wait see the one a few down.
  • You know what knee-high by the Fourth of July means. I won't tell you the answer to this one
  • You know it is traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the reception and wedding dance. This depends if you live in the southern or northern half of the state. In the southern half, you go after church and pictures but before the dinner. Up north, you go after dinner and make your grand entrance at the bridal dance about 9:30pm.
  • You know the difference between "Green" and "Red" farm machinery, and would fight with your friends on the playground over which was better! Do you know which is red and green? It is kinda like a red or blue state....
  • You buy Christmas presents at Fleet Farm. We have Farm & Fleets around here. Where else can you buy a saddle for your horse, a 6lb bag of cashews, oil for your tractor, paint and a dress??
  • You spent more on beer & liquor than you did on food at your wedding. uhhhh yeah!!!
  • You hear someone use the word "oof-dah" and you don't break into uncontrollable laughter. My aunt still uses that word to this day... same thing with the word "dupa"
  • You or someone you know was a "Dairy Princess" at the county fair. I was too busy showing horses to be a princess.
  • You know that "combine" is a noun. Think wheat
  • You let your older siblings talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post in the middle of winter. I was the older sibling...
  • You think Lutheran and Catholic are THE major religions.
  • You know that "creek" rhymes with "pick". My parents have one of those in their backyard.
  • Football schedules, hunting season and harvest are all taken into consideration before wedding dates are set. This is more true up north than around here.
  • A Friday night date is getting a six-pack and taking your girlfriend shining for deer. Ditto above
  • Saturday you go to your local bowling alley.
  • There was at least one kid in your class who had to help milk cows in the morning...phew!
  • You have driven your car on the lake. How else do you get to your fishing shanty??
  • You can make sense of "upnort" and "batree".
  • Every wedding dance you have ever been to has the hokey pokey and the chicken dance. That is a given.
  • Your definition of a small town is one that only has one bar. Think Husher Pub
  • The local gas station sells live bait. Don't forget your cheese whiz and lottery tickets
  • At least twice a year some part of your home doubles as a meat processing plant. We had to be twelve to be able to use a knife when we would butcher the chickens... We still got to use the ax to chop their heads off tho'. The worst job was stripping out the gizzards... YUCK!!
  • You think that the start of deer season is a national holiday. There is more vacation time taken during this time than any other time of the year!!

Have a good weekend all!!

ZOBMONDO!!

Would you rather....

Have a lisp

----OR----

pronounce all of your Rs as Ws?

Is there a difference??

You mine as well just live up in Canada, pretty similar stuff.

I don't think that there is much of a difference in the lisp and misprounouncing your letters.
