Summary: How to Talk Minnesotan
Review: A great view into the cultural "oddities" of Minnesotans (odd to non-MNs that is). I've worn my copy out - can anyone help me find a new one? I show this video to my 6th grade students every year.

Summary: Life in the Land of 10,000 Lakes
Review: As a transplanted Minnesotan living in Idaho, this is one of funniest commentaries I have seen on life in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. If you've ever lived in Minnesota, you'll roll on the ground with laughter while reading this book.

Summary: It Reminded me of home
Review: Being a Minnesotan living in California, it reminded me of the ways things were there, such as the wonderful highways being torn up just in time for winter. And the way Directions are given in Minnesota, Sometimes you are less lost before you start....And how one can always have a little lunch with some interesting salad.

Summary: SO I think you'll be rolling on the floor THEN
Review: Has to be the best Minnesota humor book ever. If you ever have vacationed in Minnesota for any length of time -- this book is a heckuva deal for you!

Summary: Entertainment at its best
Review: I am a Minnesotan. I love this "Liberal Icebox" as my Texan friend says. This book is so full of sterotypes it was easy to laugh at, but sometimes I would catch myself thinking some of the things were uncannily familiar. It was good for some laughs.

Summary: You betcha, it's very, very funny.
Review: I bought this book for my brother for his birthday years ago. I borrowed it from him and haven't given it back yet. If you were raised in rural Minnesota, Iowa or Wisconsin, this book will remind you of home. The piece about hot dishes and tacos (pronounced TAH-co) really cracked me up. We still laugh about the Minnesota good-byes that resemble the ritual still practiced in Wisconsin today. You, the visitor, have to mention that it is time to go at least three times (with intermittent periods of conversation) before you actually take leave or you are considered a bit rude.

Summary: Uff da -you have to laugh through the long winters here!
Review: I live in Minnesota, but my Mom moved to Florida nine years ago. (We were both born in Duluth!) Well, I sent her a copy of the book and we burn up the telephone wires laughing and sharing our favorite paragraphs. She says it's the best gift I have ever given her. I recommend this book to all nostalgic, former Minnesotans and the people who love them. Hi Mom!

Summary: Jim's Review - Not too bad.
Review: I love this video. It should be watched with someone who speaks minnesotan, and they will tell you how true to life it is. It has motivated me to practice my minnesotan so I can speak to my sister-in-law who is a native. I know I am doing well when she doesn't even notice when I slip a little minnesotan into the conversation. I hear that it is available in video stores in Mnpls. It's a good deal if you can find it.
