A lot of monsters in this thread. Beer? Beatles? BBQ?
One of the things I miss MOST from my Iowa days... Nothing like the smell of - well the SMELLS of that segment of humanity and the "foods" they consume... I also miss the stickiness of everything.
But the Varied Industries building - if it's still there - was always a favorite.
Sorta serious - but what's the history of "dime" as opposed to "nickel" or "pumpkin" for that matter?
You should see the reactions when i talk about WI fishing being just as good as it is in Minnesota, or that there's more lakes in WI, or when I tell Wisconsinites that fishing in Iowa can be great too. Blasphemy!
I would rather fish in Door County over any Minnesota lake
I've heard that a the definition of a lake is much smaller in Wisconsin dozens of times. People in Minnesota are pretty protective of the 10,000 lakes title.

Never fished in Minnesota actually, but I know I don't need to travel that far to find a good quality fishing experience.
Just for the lack of other other people alone I'd fish in the Maquoketa in Iowa over lots of places.
I had a difficult time telling a Minnesotan once about a 25ish inch walleye I once caught in the Wapsi in eastern Iowa. His retort was that walleye didn't get that big in Iowa rivers, like fish don't grow once you cross the border.
The Super Bowl. I love football, but I hate that the stupid game takes 14 hours to finish. The halftime show often annoys me, the way they try to Hollywood it up annoys me. It all annoys me. I rarely watch the game.
Three years ago I would have been furious with you! Now, I am 100% with you
I try to stay in shape and watch my diet, and if I 'slip' even a little I start to feel out of shape.
Recently went to a rural county fair.
I'm fine.
1. Chocolate-- Just not a flavor I've ever enjoyed.
2. Craft Beer-- No one can convince me that people actually like the flavor of that ****.
3. NFL Football-- I don't really have a team I follow, and I'm not real into fantasy football. I'll watch the playoffs, but otherwise, meh.
4. Strip clubs-- Maybe if I were single I'd appreciate the allure, but I just can't get over the ultra-pervy feeling being there gives me. Just feel like a creep.
5. Movies-- I just lack the attention span for them. Probably haven't watched an entire move that wasn't a movie I took my kids to in a few years.
