WHY HELLO ROAD TRIPPERS. Today on the 2013 Reading Road Trip (created by Hasfah @ IceyBooks and Britta @ I Like These Books) you're visiting North Dakota and...
Don't know much about Minnesota? Well...
(according to HubPages)
- You can't eat a hamburger on Sundays. WHAT?
- You have to tip your hat when passing a cow in the Pine Island District. Talk about respecting your food!
- All bathtubs must have feet. No, not human feet. The feet that fancy people make look like paws.
- In Kalamazoo it's illegal to serenade (sing) to your girlfriend. Even if you use a kazoo.
- Easy way to earn money--go hunting for rat heads and bring them to the town office! Ten cents per head! If someone managed to earn ten dollars, I'm so not visiting.
- In Brainerd, if you're a guy, by law you must have a beard. Imagine how many Santas must live there!
- Even if it's technically land-locked, Minnesota has more shore line than California, Florida, and Hawaii combined because of all it's lakes!
- No child under 12 may talk on the phone without parental supervision...I thought my parents were overprotective. Though I guess it does sort of keep those strange calls from damaging your child's innocent mind.
Had fun? Guess what! AMANDA HOCKING LIVES IN MINNESOTA. So I'm giving away...
A SET OF THE WATERSONG BOOKS 1-4 (so the entire series)
Wake
Lullaby
Tidal
Elegy
All in new, never been read condition! Sadly, I can only ship to the US, so US only!
Ah, but missed a few stops on the blog bus? No worries, just use your magical mouse teleporter and go check out those stops!
As someone who lives in Minnesota I'm going to assume most of these are jokes...
ReplyDeleteLOL I too live in Minnesota and some of these are just hilarious! Have you heard about the law that said it's illegal for you to cross the border with a duck on your head? Yea funny stuff going on here in MN.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact you posted! They were so fun to read. I am hosting Utah if you want to come and stop by!

I'm from Two Harbors and I miss that shore line. I don't know if it's still on the books, but one of the old blue laws in Two Harbors, was you can't have men's and women's underwear on the same clothesline.
