I once knew a girl who lived in Minnesota.

She described a phenomenon known to locals as “Minnesota nice, Minnesota ice.”

Apparently, it’s a thing where people are polite to your face but are distant & don’t really care about you further than exchanging routine cultural pleasantries.

Basically, some locals are, like, “I have enough friends.”

I always found this hilarious.

Whenever she would describe a scenario that would play out in “Minnesota nice, Minnesota ice” fashion, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

Here’s hoping the lads skip the entire act on Saturday & just kick the loons square in the behind.
