count draculure Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 After reading Coley's Redneck poem, I thought I'd post something from "up nort" Hope you enjoy it. Ten Commandments: Wisconsin Style 1. Der's only one God, ya know. 2. Don't make that fish on your mantle an idol. 3. Cussing ain't Wisconsin nice. 4. Go to church even when you're up nort. 5. Honor your folks. 6. Don't kill. Catch and release. 7. There is only one Lena for every Ole. No cheatin'. 8. If it ain't your lutefisk, don't take it. 9. Don't be braggin' about how much snow ya shoveled. 10. Keep your mind off your neighbor's hotdish. Count Draculure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richoc Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 A heartfelt message from the rural Midwest: Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and Californians cross states such as Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, those states' Tourism Councils have adopted a set of information guidelines. In an effort to help outsiders understand the Midwest, the following list will be handed to each driver entering the state: 1. That farm boy standing next to the feed bin did more work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym. 2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because I need it...not just to keep up with the neighbors. 3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it. 4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get you whipped... by our women. 5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little trout you fish for... bait. 6. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. 7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 8. That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid in the airport for one drink. 9. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef' Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey. 10. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. 11. So you have a sixty-thousand dollar car you drive on weekends. We're real impressed. We have quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year. 12. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow. 13. Our women hunt, fish, and drive pickups, trucks and tractors --because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute. 14. Yeah, we eat catfish. Carp, too -- and turtle. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop. 15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Interstates 70, 80, & 90 go East & West--Interstates 29, 35 & 55 go North and South. Pick one and use it accordingly. 16. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday. You can get breakfast at the church. 17. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Understand the concept? 18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazard. It spooks the fish. 19. That Highway Patrol Officer who just pulled you over for driving like an idiot... his name is "Sir"... no matter how old he is. Now please, enjoy your visit Borrowed from a friend at another site I visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigjointer Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 This site isnt only lures it's cultural you can learn things ------you wouldn't learn anywhere else, Idoubt if I could buy a book with all this info, isnt the web a wonder. here's one my old man left me before he went fishing in the sky. Out fishin A feller isn't thinkin mean Out fishin His thoughts somehow are mostly clean Out fishin He doesn't knock his fellow men Or harbour any grudges then A feller's at his finest when Out fishin The rich are comrades of the poor Out fishin All brothers of a common lure Out fishin The urchin with his pin and string Can chum with millionaire and king Vain pride is a forgotten thing Out fishin A feller gets a chance to dream out fishin He learns the beauty of a stream out fishin An he can wash his soul in air That isn't foul with selfish care an relish plain and simple fare Out fishin A feller's glad to be a friend out fishin A helping hand he'll always lend out fishin The brotherhood of rod and line An sky and stream is always fine Men come real close to God's desing out fishin A feller isn't plotting schemes out fishin He's only busy with his dreams out fishin His livery is a coat of tan His creed to do the best he can A feller always feels a man Out fishin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
