You got that right. I got 46%, but partly because I refused to answer some questions the way they wanted - since I grew up in the north, we didn't "go UP to the lake", the lakes were all around us, and hunting was out the back door past the barn. Also, I never ran the A/C on the same day as the heat because none of us had or have A/C. Not worth it for maybe 10 days a year.
Some more questions:
Did your school ever have a day off for the opening of fishing season or hunting season (or both)?
Have you ever speared a sucker (legally)?
What's the more common name for a quaking aspen?
Are you comfortable driving your car on ice?
When is an appropriate time to say "uff da"?
Do you or someone you know have more money in snowmobiles and off-road vehicles than on-road vehicles? |

Not a good test at all, and it's Why-ZAA-ta, ain't it?

*No.
*No.
*Cottonwood. My parents' neighborhood in Minnetonka has them all over the place.
*Yes.  Although I wouldn't drive after an Atlanta ice storm. Too many hills!
*I normally only say it when I realize some upcoming task is going to be harder than I thought, and sometimes after working hard. Uff-da!
*Not anymore, but I knew someone like that once. |

I was tested as being 33 percent Minnesotan. Then again, I have only BEEN to Minnesota and never have LIVED there. I would like to go there again and give lutfisk and wild rice soup a try.

I absolutely love wild rice, either in soups or in hotdishes (casseroles) or whatever. Yumm-mee! :-)
Lutefisk is for people with broken tastebuds. I'd rather eat grits or fried green tomatoes, and I don't like either. |
