HAHA lol i love these. Its all so true, except the 4th of july thing, we would ever move it inside because even if it was 40 dagree’s we would still think it as a hot day. XD and i cant believe some people honestly dont know what a bubbler is, and what budging is. i thought everyone knew that stuff!
I live in LaCrosse and these jokes are so true! We are hardcore deer hunters & we love our venison! gotta love wisconsin deer hunting! <3
I take this personally! Yeah some are true and funny. But I am offended!
“If we shadows have offended,
Think but this,—and all is mended,—
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend;
If you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.”
Alternatively: if this offends you, just don’t read it. Nobody is forcing you to read this.
loved this writing!
Ha ha ha! i was born in milwaukee wisconsin and raised in Oostburg and lived there till i was 15. At the time i was sooo happy to leave. but now i am 18 and i miss the Crap outta My Home State!!

GO PACK GO!
I’m from milwaukee, but down in Florida for school, I miss good old wisconsin! GO PACKERS!
I was born and raised in a small town called Amery Wisconsin. I moved away two months ago, but I miss my hometown so much!!! I live in Glenndale Arizona now and we NEVER get snow down here! I miss the snow soooo much too! I can’t wait to go back to visit! I love the Packers and my Uncle keeps making fun of me because he likes the Dolphins but I tell him off and let him know just how much I love the Packers, and how much better they’re doing compared to the Dolphins. I really miss Wisconsin, things are so much different down here. None of the people I know have ever been on a real farm, and there aren’t any cows, deer, or horses for miles. I would love to go back home, and plan on going back for my birthday. GO PACKERS!!! I LOVE YOU AMERY WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
