Some Minnesota Love!

[Ron Fogelson]

Well I've picked on the local red necks enough so thought it was about time to pick on my home state.   


Who else knew they filmed all the winter scenes from Star Wars in MN??   



One can't pick on MN without pointing a finger or two at the PPE's 









Ok I can't let it go without a slap shot at some red necks
