You know you live in Wisconsin when....

[FenderGyrl]

Wisconsin:
Igloo mounted on the Riding Lawn Mower.

Wisconsin:
Workplace grinds to a halt during Deer Hunting Season.

Wisconsin: "Lets all pitch in and buy a Cow... No Silly! From the Butcher"
"She actually thought we would have to bring it home and feed it?"

Wisconsin; "The 'Trick' is to hold the bottom of the steering wheel with both hands while resting your elbows on your knees. Oh, and make sure your headlights are on."

Wisconsin:
"Ya Been?"

Honestly, I thought I was a drinker.
Until I moved up here. I quickly realized that I was in the Minors my whole life and had just made it to the Big Show.

Also...
Southern Wisconsin VS Northern Wisconsin.... Holy **** !!!! WOW

My wife is from Wisconsin... Our first New Year's together, she asked if we were going to celebrate with Cannibal Sandwiches. I thought she was kidding when she described it. Raw hamburger, onions on rye bread. To be fair, it seems to be a Polish Wisconsin thing, mostly wedding receptions and New years.

We always stock up on cheese curds when we visit her family and bring back plenty for family and friends.

The butchers here set aside some stuff they handle carefully just for the cannibals. I wouldn't try it with just any ground beef.

You know you're from Wisconsin if, when the Packers win, you say, "We won!" but when the Packers looooooze, it's, "Dey lost."

 

[widefault]

You know what a "Time Machine" is for and why it's spelled Tyme.

You know what a bubbler is and where it was made.

You can buy New Glarus at the gas station, which is probably a Kwik Trip.

On north vs south, don't forget there is a song Santa Claus Skips Cudahy.

I went to a township meeting in northern Trempealeau County and saw pure democracy in action. It was frightening.

On the polka records I'd heard as a kid, yeah. But when I'd see polka bands at a bar in new glarus, or at the come back, there was a lot more to it. Jazzier, like big band. More dynamics, clarinet solos, heavy driving accordion bass, and then there's that polkabilly goose island ramblers stuff. I actually got into conjunto first, when I was trying to play bajo sexto, and it led me to my own back yard. If you get past roll out the barrels, there's more going on.
There's a show on 98.7 I'm hoping to get time to listen to soon;

my long running garagepunk band the arkoffs did this: "Polka Queen"
it's more in the satire vein

And...

I was driving to the shops the other day and a modern Vespa style scooter drove in front of me with 4 kids in ski masks on it.
They then went off road, up a footpath/cycle-path.

I don't know what they're up to, but I fully support it. Probably.

Beyond cheese, the state exports a staggering amount of food and food related same time it is a huge exporter of toilets and toilet paper.

The USDA says California exports the most food. Nebraska is the top dairy supplier

USDA ERS - Annual State Agricultural Exports

The top three exporters of plant products have consistently been California, Illinois, and Iowa. California is the top exporter of a range of vegetable, fruits, and nuts, whereas Illinois and Iowa are top exporters of soybeans, corn, and feeds. State exports are calculated using ERS’...

Southern Wisconsin VS Northern Wisconsin

to my folks, lifelong central WI residents, you've got to be north of Wi Dells to be in Wisconsin

 

[Twofingerlou]

honestly i don't think I've ever seen spotted cow in a can before

I had only seen it or had it from a bottle until recently. I was talking to a guy I don’t see often at work a while back and found out he was from Wisconsin. I brought up the spotted cow thing and he said man I go back home every couple months and got cases of that in my basement. Asked if I wanted to buy a couple cases, he’s the one that brought it to me in cans which was a first. End of the day it’s good either way, cans or bottles. I bet it’s really good on tap.

 

[blowtorch]

it's amazing on tap

On north vs south, don't forget there is a song Santa Claus Skips Cudahy.

"You don't have to please Santa
Just act like a louse
When he finds out you live in Cudahy
He'll fly right past your house."

Where did you get the idea that Nebraska is the top dairy supplier??? Even the Nebraska Dairy Association says that Nebraska is 10th in the nation in milk production per cow. And if they're 10th per cow, they sure as heck are not the number one dairy supplier. Reread the information from the link that you posted. California is the top dairy producer. Wisconsin used to be, long ago.

 

[blowtorch]

California is the top dairy producer.

only because they count almond milk as dairy in CA

So the boys and I met over the weekend at a pizza arcade we used to frequent when they were kids.
It was recently bought out by a Boston couple, and they tried to pass off mozzerella sticks as cheese curds

 

[Willie Johnson]

When you get north of say Stevens Point, it seems nearly all the tavern signs are Old Style signs.

They must give them a real deal on em

They're all over Chicago too, with various subscripts--package goods, cerveza fria, zimne piwo.

After last weekend was reminded of the right answer for @Cadillac_Mike question.

"When your long weekend covers Madison to Hurley, one way was a snow storm, you did not eat, drink or buy groceries at a national chain and same for buying gasoline.".
