I'm spending a year up there starting next week working for the VA.
Suggestions on what to do there.

I'd probably attend a TWolves game or two. Not because they are great or anything, but because, really, what else are you going to do?

Vikes tickets I'd assume are hard to come by.

I lived in NE Minnesota for 7-8 years, Minnesota is awesome. If you like the outdoors like me, its even better.

I live in Phoenix now and there is just as much to do down here as there is in Minneapolis.

Always park your car facing south.
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

I heard there are two seasons in Minneapolis... Summer and Road Construction. It seems that there is so much snow & ice that many of the roads have to be replaced every few years. Very clean down town area, with a cool 2nd foor tunnel system that connects the downtown buildings (so you don't have to navigate the snowed-in streets).
"The ball ain't heavy."

-Herschel Walker, when asked if he got tired carrying the ball 30 times per game.
