Does it mean I've naturalised as a Minnesotan if I
a) Looked at your second list

b) Went "I could buy that in the right setting" to everything until...

c) I got to "combines outstate characters with characters from the Twin Cities"

d) When I went ... "Well, you know, it'd really depend on how it was set up. I'm not sure I could suspend disbelief that far for most people, but for Mris...."

On behalf of non-Franco, non-Anglo hockey players, I wish to protest this poll.

Oh, wait. You're not James Nicoll. Nevermind.

Cats.

Heeeeee. "Before the cup is awarded to the Wild."

SHHH. I know, I know, I was darned lucky my team even made it in to the playoffs this year and let me tell YOU THIS, after 18 years, I would have been an unhappy hockey mom.

If you can get the book done before the Wings win the Cup this year might depend on how many of the games you're watching, hmmmmm?

Is that supposed to be "Don and Don" or "Don and Ron?" I mean, I'm guessing one of those Dons is Don Cherry (which would make it Don & Ron, for Ron MacLean). If not, who's the other Don? (I suppose it could be Don MacLean, or even Don McLean... though I would bet a slice of American Pie that everyone's sick of hearing from Don McLean.)

Not only have no idea when, but what it is . . . however, if it has anything to do with sports, I won't remember five seconds after being told as I've got no context.

But writing? That is the win!

I giggled the entire time I was reading this poll, and I DEVOUTLY hope that the un-balanced list is actually a checklist.

Also, I'm allowed to mock the Wild. My team's the Ducks. :P

Bill Barilko approves this poll.

Excuse me while I take a moment to lay a flower on the grave of the Predators' play-off hopes again.

I'm just reassured that you aren't hanging around with people who don't like cheese. That's just unnatural.

Unbalanced in the best way.

I didn't actually have a problem with any of the combinations in that question, but the closest to a problem that I had was with outstate people and people from the Twin Cities.

Balance is overrated, anyway.

Regarding question #1: I have been thinking a lot about introverts extroverts lately, and how they make good teammates, and your statement about forwards and defense made me realize that in the great hockey game of life, mmerriam is the defense, and I am the forward on our team.

Regarding question #3: You know me too well. I had already enthusiastically clicked that button before I read the footnote! :-)

A book can only seriously UN-balanced if it's written by one of its organizations. Everybody else has biases for or against the UN.
