A team in the National Football League (NFL) whose idea of a successful season is not choking during the last 5 weeks and missing the playoffs. Unlike other teams, they know they will never win a Super Bowl and once they make the playoffs, that's pretty much it.
Here it is, the season's on the line. Two receivers left and right. McCown, takes the snap, he steps up, he's all by himself...FIRES INTO THE ENDZONE. CAAAUGHT!! TOUCHDOWN!!! NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!! THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

Used to really mean genuinely nice, open, thoughtful and caring. Politically progressive, socially aware, doing for others, wanting to learn about other people and cultures.
I came to Minnesota 30 years ago, from New York City, where I grew up. New Yorkers aren't rude, we are just honest and efficient. I had had problems with passive aggressive people from other places who were "nice" to your face and back stabbing. So I was naturally leery of these Minnesota people. But no, they were really nice.
But things have been changing, even here. It is very sad to an aging peace/love hippie idealist. Still lots of cool folks though. Cool, like the weather.

When my new neighbor asked about my ethnic background, I thought she was prejudiced, but she was just being Minnesota nice and wanted to learn more about me.
I think a lot of Minnesota nice originated with the Scandanavian social customs and the need to pull together to survive the harsh winters during pioneer times.
Our late Senator Paul Wellstone was being Minnesota nice when he said "We all do better when we all do better."

A city in Minnesota with a population on 103,486 at the 2009 estimate. The city is home to the Mayo Clinic and the world's largest IBM plant under one roof. One person said that every person's parent in Rochester works for Mayo or IBM, which is not true. IBM only employ's 5,000 people, and Mayo employ's 35,000. There are hundreds of other jobs. The city in a big attraction in SE Minnesota, where people from cities such as Winona, Dodge Center, Eyota, Byron, and other nearby cities from adjacent counties and in the metropolitan area go to. The cities has received several awards, such as being best cities to live (Top 3 in 1993 through 1997), and is said to become the fastest growing city in the U.S.A, and have more jobs than any other city.
I'm glad I live in Rochester, Minnesota. Far better than other cities. Rochester International Airport just needs more destinations.

A city with a population of around 90,000. Minorities beware: Duluth hates you. Even as a mix, I didn't get by. The water there kicks ass, it's so pure. The youth is a depressing sight because they've all become victim to mindless trends, social habits, and lifestyles (such as the unbelievably successive Emo-life), except for a select few, such as James Ross. There is a White Castle at the edge of Duluth on the way to Minneapolis, which is a must. Duluth is known for notable amounts of snow and very cold weather. Sailing is popular, and in the winter, Icefishing. Unforunately, Duluth rubs shoulders with Superior, the ultimate ghetto of Wisconsin.
Duluth bears the first granitoid-paved streets in Minnesota, whatever granitoid is. The city has gained recognition among other northern cities in the state for having surprisingly good Tennis and Football teams.
The public school systems don't seem to care much about there students, to name a couple of those schools, there's Congdon, and East High School. The public schools are the bottom of the line. At East, while attempting to get to a class, expect some insecure jock to pick you off your feet and haul you to the locker room where you will experience the most brutal anal rape of your life. There are a couple decent private schools, such as Summit, and a few catholic schools, like Holy Rosary (known to locals as HORO, and Unholy Rosary to some graduates).Then there's The Marshall School, an outrageously expensive private division, boasting their excellence, while the middle school branch is as good as any other private school's, but employing conservatives, lesbians, treehuggers, dickfaces, child-molesters, racists, and radicals as scholars.
Duluth is(and has been for as long as anyone can remember), divided into an East and West. As in most instances, the East is for the educated, well-mannered, upperclass and upper-middleclass folk (although recently extending to some middle-middleclass citizens), while the West is reserved for the rest. As in most scenarios, if you were brought up in the West,it will be difficult to get out, unless you're in jail.
Typical adolescent hangouts in Duluth include Miller Hill Mall, the new Duluth 10 Cinematic Complex, and bagel cafés.
There is no need to worry about where to eat; nearly all of the restaurants serve good food.
Staying Safe in duluth is easy. About every 5 years, someone gets their car stolen, 75% of the gun owners live out in the boonies, and because of the extreme cold, STDs don't make it through the winter (but don't mark my word on that). Your biggest danger in Duluth is all of the God-damned deer. You'll swear the fucker came out of nowhere.

Wisconsin Guy 2 - "Oh yeah man, for sure."
