carolyn Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 hahahaha! I about spewed my beer out of my nose and fell off my chair when I read this post. For more humor, please read any other post on the site. *note: this in no way reflects the majority of MN climbers Quote
knelson Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 there's a group of climbers that frequent VE on monday and wednesday evenings, you are certainly welcome to join us. there's also a group of climbers that climb tuesday and thursday evenings... and the majority of us go climbing somewhere on weekends... i'm sure you'll find a climbing partner. My personal favorite. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 that is pretty good. but he's looking for belayers, not climbers. effing 'sotans. geez what the heck! Quote
adventuregal Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Damn! There's a kid on there who still has my MN/North Shore guidebook. Punk!!! Quote
layton Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 this like saying i'd like a vagina to pound instead of a girl to date. Quote
chirp Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 hmm, I am missing something or is this a case of midwest humor? ie: fairly on the "sharp edge of the butter knife?" Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Minnesotan humor is so subtle as to be almost unrecognizable as such. Yet it's light-years ahead of Iowan humor, as everyone knows. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 They don't climb in MN, they just belay each other. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Actually they sit around and listen to Prairie Home Companion and worn-out Purple Rain cassettes while eating things on sticks and paddling around Lake Minnetonka. Quote
Dustin_B Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 they are so damn polite over there. I read like 5 or 6 responses and no one bashed the original poster. WTF? I got bored and came back here. Quote
selkirk Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 they are so damn polite over there. I read like 5 or 6 responses and no one bashed the original poster. WTF? I got bored and came back here. stoopid wanker. That's what you get for going to a minnesotan climbing sight. Quote

knelson Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 k. I'm not laughing....what am I missing?? Yes... the humor is subtle. Ever watch "Fargo?" Think "Fargo" and then read their board. Better now? (No... I'm not dissin' Minnesotans by saying they're like their neighbors - but there are a lot of commonalities.) Two things that I chuckled about: One is that the person has been climbing a month and maxes out at 5.8/5.9... IN A GYM... but yet says they're polite to beginners. The implication here is that THEY are NOT a beginner. I found that funny. Not "blow beer through your nose funny", but funny nonetheless. Now picturing Carolyn reading the forum AND blowing beer through her nose... THAT's funny. The other is that in this thread, and others on the board, everyone is amazingly drippy sweet and nice (even by Seattle standards) which is to be expected from the Motherland of Lutherans. But no one really offers any help or answers any questions. Just like my favorite response... "well gosh - we have folks here on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (but apparently NOT on Friday) and there are folks climbing somewhere outside during the weekend... so you should be able to hook up with someone."

Cobra_Commander Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 eating things on sticks Cobra Commander's been to the Minnesota State Fair! Correct. I was one of the "attractions" "Dunk the Commander and win a VIP tour of Mendota Heights' finest water towers" "Milk-drinking champion gets waffle on stick and Cabela's coupon." Quote
adventuregal Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 eating things on sticks Cobra Commander's been to the Minnesota State Fair! Don't forget about the fried cheese curds... Quote

I bet the Commander was voted Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Do you still have your butter-bust? Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 OMG the memories. She was so wild and willing to do the craziest stuff. Amazing what can be done with a little butter, a few bales of hay, and piglets. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 As my main "man" Prince used to say, "let's get crazy" Quote
Ducknut Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 eating things on sticks Cobra Commander's been to the Minnesota State Fair! Must be like Elephant Ears at the fairs here in the NW. Mmmmm, good. Nothing like deeep frying white flour in lard and sprinkling it with white sugar and cinnamon. Now that is healthy eating. barf Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Prince knows how to get crazy, I'm sure, but even he draws the line at hot-buttered barnyard orgies in downtown Mendota Heights. Quote
