You gotta be loony to live up here...

As a very nearly lifelong Minnesotan, I swear upon a stack of holy books (and by that, I mean Lake Wobegon Days stacked on top of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide) that everything in this list is COMPLETELY true.

Come see how completely insane my home state is.

The one reason Minnesota is a state.


MST3K
Short for "Mystery Science Theater 3000," a hilarious, nationally televised cable program filmed right here in Golden Valley. Mike Nelson, a temporary worker hired by evil Dr. Clayton Forrester, has been shot into space and forced to watch bad movies. With the help of robot pals, Nelson wisecracks about the movies and creates odd inventions. MST3K is a source of local pride because the comedians behind it chose to stay here and produce their own show rather than leave their home for Hollywood. An MST3K feature film was recently made, also shot right here in St. Paul.
