Attention - Free Rent In Minnesota

A few weeks a wonderful Chicagoite? Chicagonian? Chicagogander? Let's just call him John Doe, said he was waiting for a post with something similar to the title above:

Attention - Free Rent In Minnesota

I posted it again in case you couldn't see it or it was too far for you scroll up to see since I am sure you use some hindering resolution similar to 640x480. We don't do that in Minnesota.

Since the challenge (I considered it a challenge) I have been having a hard time thinking of a way to lure you into this fine state with Free Rent.

Here are the possible solutions I had and their downfalls:

1. Squatting - There are many places to squat in this city and you can even use the squatters symbol (like they did two doors down (no, not the band or the other lesser known (don't worry) flint area band)). Sure there have been some amazing actions in Minnesota helping people stay in their homes when they are being evicted around here (it gets cold here (trust me, you will love the weather)). The problem is, people squat everywhere, all over the country and world.

2. My Couch/Spare bedroom - As much as I would love to see all of you, I don't think my house can fit all of my family and friends (The entire lot (6) of you).

3. House Van - This is the best option. Did you know that Minnesota has the highest number of awesome nomadic van dwellers? It probably doesn't. I just made that up. Anyway, one of my friends (from Indianapolis) already has a preferred parking space behind my house to park his future van house any time he wants. Once again, not everybody can live in my tiny parking pad in the alley.

There are more options, but they all end in the same place. You can't all fit in my house or they are no different that living in any other place. So, since you now understand that your city is no different than mine for free rent, quit your long search for a free place to live and just live here, since it is apparently the only thing holding you back.

What kind of... this one sucks. Make up your own "What kind of XYZ does your ABC city have to offer?"

Meat Raffle!

In the wonderful land of Minnesota, I am crowned King of the Meat Raffle (more on that story later). You are most likely asking, "What is a Meat Raffle?" It is exactly what it sounds like,  raffling off meat . In the great state of Minnesota (and also Wisconsin (remember, moving to Wisconsin is closer to me than staying in your rotting meat state), which is next to Minnesota for those who are poor with geography) we know how to have a good time when at a bar, pub, or out to grab a bite to eat. Apparently we raffle off meat at the same time to increase the amount of good times had by all. I know this idea seems hard to grasp, so I will walk everybody through it. Some person unveils a table full of meat (everybody is in awe at this point). The host(s) informs everybody what charity, athletic booster, school program they are raising money for (giving money to good causes and possibly getting free meat for it is a good thing). The host(s) then walk table to table and stool to sto...

Cycles, Cycles, Cycles

After describing the amazing Pedal Pub to everybody, I decided to make cycles (in their many forms) be the next tangent for the foreseeable future (just to clarify, I do not mean unforeseeable, because I do know how many posts this tangent will contain). I know most of you were thinking after the last post (feel free to tell me what happens when somebody assumes), that gigantic quadracycle looked amazing, but how would that be a practical way to traverse the city, especially since you need 8-10 people to power it. This is correct, unless all my friends move to Minnesota, then we will always have an abundant supply of leg power. Well, do I have a solution for you. Bicycles. 2 wheels instead of 4. What a simple fix. Sure, each of your cities has bikes and many of you (hopefully) own a bike. I'm so glad for you, what a great accomplishment for your city (spoken in the tone when you demean somebody by saying "that's cute"). I did a little research (known as hanging ...

Mystery Science Theater 3000

All the cities that we live in have a history associated with them and some people have said that our history defines us. If this is true, and it is going to be true for my argument today, then we should take a long look into where we live and see if your city has something this great in its past. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3K for the cool kids) is a show that ran from 1988 to 1999 and taught us all how to love life and to laugh once again. Every episode we visited our friends Joel, Mike, Crow, Tom Servo, Gypsy, Cambot, The Forrester's, Brain Guy, Bobo, the beloved TV's Frank, Trumpy, and so many more. These friends taught us one of the most important life lessons of all; it is good to laugh, not only to laugh, but laugh at the world around us. If you were sitting in a boring high school/college class, what better way to get through the class then to crack jokes (either silent or out loud if you had the courage). Was work incredibly boring, annoying, or tiring? How abo...
