Yes, I am a nice guy, but as I nice guy I have a dirty secret to expose on the 'Minnesota Nice' bullshit...
it doesn't exist.
'Minnesota Passive-Aggressive,' however is a real thing - for at least 3/4 of MN... and I've lived in most corners of this state now.
most Minnesotans can - and will - judge you for being the least bit different, let alone if you're a lot different, from them and their neighbours
aye, they'll say something semi-friendly with a fake smile-and-a-nod - but as soon as you're out of earshot, they'll talk shit about you...
assuming you're even out of earshot, that is - some don't even care that much *sighs*
not surprisingly, they'll accept THE worst person you know if they happen to fit their specific personal criteria of look, background, & belief
( very, very few friends ever met my mothre - and the ones she liked were, weirdly, the pieces of shit and/or criminals and/or addicts... while the truly good & nice ones she immediately disliked *sighs* )
but that is Minnesotan at its finest...
you can be a lying-dishonest, judgemental, bigoted, racist, thieving, stabbing-and-backstabbing rapist-paedophile-cheating-wife-beater...
but if you look & act like one of them, you're the dog's bollocks
but if you look and/or act just a little different...
you're gonna get the full-blown welcome, handshake, smile-and-nod - laden with subtle insults & absolute hatred as you turn away
...and then they'll 'spread the word' in 'true Minnesota fashion' getting everyone they know... and their hairdresser... to think you're everything they say you are
without one iota of truth behind the lies & bullshit they spread
ANYways... I'm a MinnKotan and truly nice guy - not 'Minnesota Nice,' thank the gods of hell
...I'll be as Honest as I'm able and tell you the Truth, even if it's painful
be Honest with me and - by gods! - I'll consider you family, True Family, and you'll have my Loyalty, unquestionably !
Farethee well for now, my Lovelies & Gentlefolk ! <3 ...and much MUCH love !!

8/16 : mncoastercouple on instagram is a co-worker of mine ( the groom, that is :) )... married today at a rollercoaster park & then visiting 22 parks in 17 days for their honeymoon ! pretty wild & honestly, epic! idea ( one assumes they like rollercoasters ;) )
8/22 : wth... a man in a suit & tie pulls up to McDs in a porsche, tells the register girl exactly how long he wants the burger on the grill & fries in the fryer ( "we'll do our best, sir" "you'd better" ) ... and THEN proceeds to pay for his meal in nickles & dimes !!
cont. : seriously, though - I thought this was extremely rude of him... the register girl was so flustered & sadly the managers were having a meeting & doing scheduling next table from me ( they didn't appear to hear or see a thing, so focused on their meeting & scheduling :( )
8/22 II : how did the President win the election you ask ? the American people weren't about to vote for Hillary/another N0bama ( and here we thought that was obvious... *yeesh* )
8/22 III : "how can you not like ice cream?" dairy & I do not get along (hyper-allergy) "how can you not like pizza?" again, the dairy plus I'm allergic to most vegetables "how can you not like ice cream bars?" are - are you even listening? "how can you not like veggies?" really...?
8/23 : yeah, it's a mile walk but I love the cajun chicken at a gas station down & over that just opened up this year - each time I've been there ( this is my 3rd time ), the biscuits are different... but still tasty, too :) worth the walk for that spiced chicken, baby! :D
