: > >
: > > 1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Al's Lodge.
: > > It's a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let

: > > the kitchen they'll kick your ass.
: > >
: > > 2) Don't laugh at the names of our little towns (Sheboygan,
: > > Menominee, Nekoosa, Prairie du Chien, etc.) or we will just
: > > have to kick your ass.
: > >
: > > 3) Don't order a bottle or a can of pop here. Here it's

: > > 4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than
: > > you are. We are also better educated and generally a lot
: > > nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hicks or we'll kick
: > > your ass.
: > >
: > > 5) We have plenty of business sense. You have to make a living
: > > here. Naturally, we do sometimes have small lapses in

: > > someone move to our state in order to run for the Senate. If
: > > someone tried to do that, we would kick her ass.
: > >
: > > 6) Don't laugh at our giant fiberglass fish and cows. Anything
: > > that inspires tourists to buy 50,000 postcards can't be bad.
: > > And don't laugh at our love and pride of cheese or we'll kick
: > > your ass.
: > >
: > > 7) We are fully aware of how cold it gets here in the winter,
: > > so shut up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of
: > > here or we'll kick your ass.
: > >
: > > 8) Don't order the vegetarian special at the local diner.
: > > Everyone will instantly know that you're a tourist. Eat your
: > > steak well done like God intended and have some potatoes with
: > > that, for Heaven's sake! Also, don't ask what a hot dish is
: > > or we'll kick your ass.
: > >
: > > 9) Don't try to fake a Wisconsin accent. We don't have an accent.
: > > That will incite a riot and you will get your ass kicked.
: > >
: > > 10) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we
: > > know better. Many of us have visited big-city hellholes like
: > > Detroit, New York, and Chicago, and we have the scars to prove
: > > it. If you don't like it here, Interstates 90, 94, and 43 are
: > > ready when you are. Move your ass on home before it gets

: > >
: > > 11) Don't complain that Wisconsin has too many mosquitoes and
: > > farmland. If you whine about OUR scenic beauty we'll kick
: > > your ass all the way back to Chicago.
: > >
: > > 12) Don't ridicule our mannerisms. We only speak when spoken to.
: > > We hold doors open for others. We offer our seats to old
: > > folks because such things are expected of civilized people.
: > > Behave yourselves around our sweet, little gray-haired
: > > grandmothers or they will kick some manners into your ass
: > > just like they did ours.
: > >
: > > 13) So, you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live
: > > on the farm or in the woods? That's because we have enough
: > > sense to not live in filthy, smelly, crime-infested cesspools
: > > like New York, Detroit, Chicago or L.A. Make fun of our
: > > fresh air and we'll kick your ass.
: > >
: > > 14) Oshkosh B'gosh is NOT a joke. Your ass will be kicked.
: > >
: > > 15) If you are looking for a water fountain, you'll need to go
: > > to a park. Water comes out of bubblers here. Make a joke
: > > about it, and you guessed it, another ass kicking.
: > >
: > > 16) Sausage Races are cool. Make fun of it, and one of the
: > > Sausages will come up from the field of Miller Park and lay
: > > down an 8 foot sausage ass kicking on you.
: > >
: > > 17) The University of Wisconsin is the oldest, best school in
: > > The Big Ten. Any jokes about the quality of UW will result

: > > Richter, and any able bodied UW students assisting Bucky
: > > Badger in a demonstration of his class, Ass-Kicking 101.
: > >
: > > 18) If you are from Atlanta, for your own safety, say you are
