How to (somewhat) survive Minnesota:

1. Casserole Hot dish.
2. It's Duck Duck GREY DUCK! Everyone else is wrong.
3. The weatherman is always wrong. Always.
4. 40F = shorts and a T-shirt.
5. "Minnesota nice" is more like "Minnesota passive aggressive" but in a nice way...
6. Mall of America vs. State Fair: State Fair wins every time.
7. MoA = Mall of America
8. DO NOT, under any circumstances, EVER pick a fight with a goose. You will lose.
9. Try the lefse.
10. FLOUR LEFSE IS BETTER THAN POTATO LEFSE! SHUN THE NONBELIEVERS!
11. Hockey is love. Hockey is life. Lutefisk is death.
12. Just go with it...
13. Oh yah: basically "amen" or something like that. Can also be sarcasm, and a few other things.
14. You betcha: agreement to put it vaguely, no good way to explain, you kind of have to know what it means without putting it into words if that makes sense?
15. Don'tcha know: exclamation, can be used to convey good or bad feelings toward the subject.
16. And last but not least...

WHO HATES IOWA!?!? WE HATE IOWA!!
