Or, Jerry, you can cross over into Minnesota, and start a real life. ;)

Kidding, of course. (or am I?) Seriously, one of the coolest things that I HAVE EVER SEEN was in Wisconsin: I was visiting my sister, who lives up in Grantsburg, for my niece's birthday last year. There happened to be a parade that day, so we all walked up to see it. Same old crap: big trucks; cheesy politicians in old cars; scantily-clad teenage girls; clowns. And THEN, the mayor of Grantsburg rollerskates up, wearing a gorilla costume and carrying an accordion, and plays a tune for us. I was actually jealous of my sister that day. My mayor wouldn't do that. :(

(Also, I like Madison, and tried to go to that circus museum once, got lost, and drove off from a gas station with the pump still attached. *snap*)
