12)Three words: Tater Tot Hotdish.

15) You think of the Mall of America as a place to avoid, not a place to go see.
16) You know that IOWA is really an acronym.
17) You own a -30 sleeping bag and know that you're weekend camper.

11. You know that the capital of Minnesota is St. Paul, NOT Minneapolis. (you'd be amazed how many people think it is Minneapolis)
12. You give distances in minutes (e.g. Woodbury's about 15 minutes away from South St Paul)
13. You're confused when non-Minnesotans don't know what Byerly's or Rainbow Foods are.
14. You talk about the North Shore and you mean "...of Lake Superior."
15. A casserole is a hotdish and a dish for a hotdish is a casserole.
16. You get to thinking that 40 degrees is pretty balmy weather by March.
