Minnesotans 

Minnesotans are a race that were led to America by Eric the Red. They are tall, fair-haired and pale skinned humans from Scandinavia who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and even magical frost. They are enthusiastic warriors, and act as soldiers, mercenaries, merchants and blacksmiths all over North America.
Minnesotans don't think highly of their mullet-wearing neighbors: The Wisconsinites.

Minnesota Icy Hot

An act first performed by the Mdewakanton Sioux of Prior Lake, Minnesota, it is a complicated and highly dangerous sexual act/exotic dance ritual/rite of passage for young Native American men once they turn 18. First, the person coats their testicles in a flammable petroleum jelly. Then the tribal elder lights a torch and brings the torch to the coated testicles and lights it. Then the young man must find and wrangle a moose and ride it into a frozen lake. Once the fire is out he must perform a highly erotic and complicated dance, which involves going up to a young woman and hitting her with his scrotum Once this is complete, he becomes a man.
Guy 1: Dude, did you hear about Charlie Moose Horn? He was performing his Minnesota Icy Hot and he accidentally died!
Guy 2: I guess that's what happens when you put Vaseline on your balls and try to ride a moose into a lake...
Guy 1: Native Americans are weird...

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
