Minnesotans are a race that were led to America by Eric the Red. They are tall, fair-haired and pale skinned humans from Scandinavia who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and even magical frost. They are enthusiastic warriors, and act as soldiers, mercenaries, merchants and blacksmiths all over North America.

Sadly, though this is meant to be humorous, a significant portion of this list applies to me and thousands of other Minnesotans.

People from the upper-midwestern state of Minnesota. Known for being nice, down-to-earth, and really, really, good at head.
OMG, Becky! How was last night?
Wow. I can’t even begin to describe it. I literally thought I would never stop orgasming. Phoenix is so good at giving head
Well yeah, he is Minnesotan.

Standard method of departing a Minnesotan social event or interaction. After a person announces he or she is leaving, person and host proceed to talk for 30 - 60 more minutes in the doorway or parking lot before leaving. Length of time between announcement of departure and actual exit is directly proportional to length of the relationship and inversely proportional to the outdoor air temperature.
Lars: "Well we better head out, great party, though. Awesome beer."
Sven: "Oh fer sure, the beer was home brewed, donchaknow."
*Lars and Sven stand in Erik's foyer and go on a tangent about microbrews for an hour.
Lars: "Oh look at the time, sorry to do a Minnesotan goodbye!"
Sven: "Oh fer sure, the beer was home brewed, donchaknow."
