Hey Chunk - You already know more about that area & it's history than half the people that have lived there all their lives.

I'd say your 612er days are over forever. You are now a full fledged Rube.

76k20 they sure do make all of us sound like a bunch of idiots it that move don't they. We don't all talk like that yes there are some but not everyone like was showen in the move. The boys that I went to school with from ND I always called Flat Landers so they started to call me a Stump Jumper since I was from MN. I was origanally a 612 but then the changed that to 320. Now I live in ND so I am a 701 and I guess I am one of the Flat Landers but I still look for stumps to jump. I hunt with some boys from the cities and it always is interesting they do things a little different than I do.

All I know is that if it were not for some of us 612,952,763, 651, etc, etc, some of them there 218ers wouldn't have some of my $100 er's If you know what I mean.

Money isn't everything. That's why we fish, isn't it?

[Dobber]

I lived in WI for 3 years and learned it is is better to be a rube than a fib.

[Guest]

I too used to be a 612er, now I am a 763er, I work in the 651, own a business in the 952, and have a cabin in the 218.
what does all this make me?

LuckyFish,

I have heard you southern Minnesotans referred to as 'cornfeeders'

[kenandheather1121]

We went to S.Dakota last year and it didnt matter our area code, as soon as we said we were from Minnesota this guy was mad. He said "All you Minnesota people coming here to take our fish." Whats up with that?

[Guest]

Speaking of South Dakota - stopped to ask for permission to hunt, and the first question out of the rancher's mouth was "you're not from Sioux Falls, are you?"
Upon assuring him that we were not, permission was granted.
Guess some "outsiders" are worse than others! And to think - only one area code in that state.....

[wastewaterguru]

I was a 765. But then moved to 952, and that averages to 859.

I see that 859 is the area code for central and northern Kentucky.

HHHHMMMmmmmm and I thought y'all was HICKS.

Man my sister's good lookin'

[EBass]

WWG you're a riot! LOL

[Deputy Grizz]

It's also because they're tired of being called "sodbusters", "woodticks", "landsquatters", "rednecks", "flat landers", etc. the ingnorant list grows on!
