A thread in which its legitimate for Minnesotans to make fun of Iowans and vice versa.
A Mainer is someone who comes to the pine tree state to enjoy the beautiful spring, summer, and fall weather. A Maineiac is someone who stays for the winters too.

Here in Upstate New York we have three seasons: Winter, July and August.
Stupid one from a joke book I had when I was little: Where in New York do the rabbits live? Albany. (All-bunny)
In saskatchewan, you don’t need maps, just stand on a chair.
