I love being from wisconsin

View attachment 17380The United States is the land of my birth
The strongest and wealthiest country on earth.
But the states aren't all equal, I'm sorry to say...
Wisconsin's the pick of the 50 today.


I like Virginia, Montana and Maine.
But it's here in Wisconsin I proudly remain.
With walleyes and fish fries and hot apple pie
And the Badgerland motto:
"Eat Cheese or Die!"

We've got forests and prairies,
Breweries and dairies
Skiing on water and skiing on snow
From Big Bend to Bayfield,
Potosi to Plainfield
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin.

Arizona's too dry,
Colorado's too high
In Alaska you'll freeze
and in Georgia you'll fry.

Hawaii's so distant
it's barely existent,
California is crumbling;
let's all wave good-bye.

Nevada's too empty,
the deserts don't tempt me
In Kansas a forest is just one lonesome tree.
New York is an anthill,
a flesh-and-blood landfill,
And too many lawyers run loose in DC.

We've got silos and steeples,
And down-to-earth people.
Holsteins aplenty and Guernseys galore.
From Lone Rock to Lena,
New Glarus to Neenah,
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin.

Minnesota and Michigan,
they're both our special friends.
We get along fine with the people next door.
Illinois on the other hand, I couldn't recommend.
It's flat as a pancake and spoiled to the core.
The Flatlanders visit us year after year.
Clogging the highways and killing our deer.
They root for the White Sox,
they frighten our livestock.
We hide all the children whenever they're here.

We've got sweet corn and bratwurst
Chicago's a lot worse
Our cheddar is better,
our butter's the best.
From Monroe to Milwaukee,
Waupun to Wausaukee,
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin there's no slackers,
Oh, and we've got the Packers.
Yes, from Kewaskum to Algoma,
Eagle River to Tomah,
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin!

What's the rainfall like? Sounds a lot like Washington (except for the Pack part) but so much rainfall here.

Best Wishes and Happy New Year!

Steve, at least our summers are cooler and a heck of a lot dryer. And come winter we don't have to shovel rain!

Somebody has eaten way too much beer cheese or their cheese hat is on too tight. Thankfully there is a river that seperates us from those Cheesehead Packer Nuts. :D

Go Vikings and Happy New Year to all!

That may be true but a place that came up with Culver's can't be all that bad.

GO PATRIOTS

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FROM LOUISIANA..........



I am Louisiana


by Paul Ott
(State cultural poem adopted 2006)

I'm Spanish moss on a live oak tree
Cajun fried shrimp and a cypress knee.
I'm Bienville, Captain Shreve, Beauregard, Zack Taylor and Jean Lafitte.
I'm New Orleans, the land of dreams Creole cookin' and a Mardi Gras king.
I'm a thoroughbred racin' at Louisiana Downs,
Avery Island and a Catahoula hound.
I'm the Louisiana Hayride and the birth of the blues,
The Evangeline, Chickory Coffee and Baton Rouge.
I'm when the Saints Go Marchin' In the Superdome,
The Atchafalaya and an old plantation home.
I'm jambalaya, a catfish fry and a filet gumbo,
A sugar cane patch, Pete Fountain, French Quarter and Satchmo.
Well, I'm the Mississippi River as it rounds the bend.
I am Louisiana. Ya'll Come Back Again.


GEAUX SAINTS!!!! GEAUX TIGERS!

I like Wisconsin as well. So much that we were going to leave for Mission Texas this morning.But because all this pretty snow and 50 mph wind makes it so much nicer, we decided to stay home a few more days. :-(

Go Pack Go!!!.............Viqueens???

Peace

Don't be dissin those Packers too much..They are the closet thing to a real football team Minnesota has access to! Last I heard the Vikings are thinking about trying to drop the NFL and get into one of the High School leagues..Don

Amen, Herbiesrig. Although I have to put my rig in storage for the winter I love a state with seasons.....fishing, hunting, football and baseball. There is nowhere else to call home. GO PACK!!!
