Being a 'Sotan

I was listening to a different morning show that usual on the radio this morning, and the show was discussing what one needs to do to earn his/her "Minnesota Card" if he or she isn't a native to the area.  Some of the things that were mentioned were eating hotdish or goulash, going ice fishing, seeing a Twins game, seeing  a Vikings game, eating walleye, admitting "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck" is superior to "Duck, Duck, Goose,"  sticking up for the weather and being Minnesota Nice, waiting too long for your turn at four-way stops because you are suggesting everyone else goes first, and the list went on.  I thought this was an outstanding example of defining a culture! We won't get to cultures until chapter 2, but I couldn't help but share since most of us can relate to this list.
