Even though I’m a Melburnian, I have never watched a cricket match at the MCG. Even though I came of age in the 1970-80’s, I have never used cocaine. Even though I read the book ‘Spiritual Midwifery’, I never had a homebirth. 😃 ---

Even though I’ve lived in Lincoln, Nebraska for the last 50 years, I’ve never given a flying fuck about the Cornhusker football team. The only way I know that there’s a game in town is when I run into a traffic jam. ---

> [@cwthree](#): > > It means the same thing in the eastern US. First time I went to Wisconsin with my family, I saw a sign saying “FRESH BRATS” in the window of a grocery store, and I was \*horrified \*at the implications. Wisconsinite here (who’s eaten thousands of “brahhts”), with an anecdote. Guests came to town and stayed at a hotel on the UW campus. The next morning the mom came to brunch with a puzzled look: “My pillow had “BRAT” embroidered on it… and the other had something like “CRUD”. I’ve been trying to figure it out…” We looked up the hotel and it was a new one that was all dolled up in Wisconsiana. So we all guessed the pillows denoted a cheese CURD and a BRATwurst. So I’m impressed by **Iggy**. Living here and never having had a brat (or a cheese curd) would take some self-control. Now, never having a brandy old fashioned would be a wasted oppurtunity… ---
