    Default Wisconsin Role-call?

    It seems like lately i'm seeing a lot of new names here on DP that happen to be from WI. Not everybody puts their location in their profile, so maybe i'm not reading some posts right. But if your from WI, let's hear it. I want to update my local name list.


    Cheers

    Just pseduo-recentely moved to Janesville from central IL. If any DP people are around, let's hang sometime, play some multiplayer games (I have no friends here as of yet, heh).

    Well, I officially live in Vernon, which is in between Waukesha, Big Bend, and Mukwonago, but I just say Waukesha. Less complicated.

    And... some old soap opera that isn't around anymore.

    Plus just about every sitcom in existence has had a character FROM wisconsin on... often a regular (Spin City) but sometimes a short appearance.

    Everyone's got relatives in Wisconsin on TV... Like Leo DiCap's char, whatever his name was, in Titanic was from Chippewa Falls

    And That crappy show that Norm McDonald recently did, I forget the name, but it was lame.

    The greatest part of That 70's Show, is when they mentioned Wisconsin places, like Alpine Valley. I mean, I used to ski instruct there. That would warm the cockles of my heart.

    Waukesha County, here. If you glance at my location to the left, it should be pretty easy to narrow it down.

    Oh, and Wisconsin isn't boring at all. Anybody who honestly believes that and lives in my beloved homeland is just an idiot.

    Also, how can anybody forget f**king Happy Days??? HAPPY F**KING DAYS!!! was set in Wisconsin.

    I didn't grow up in Wisconsin, I'm from Germany and lived in six diffrent places in Europe and the US.

    Trust me, Wisconsin is as exciting or boring as New York, Berlin, or Chicago. No matter where you live, you take always yourself with you.

    ...scouring SE Wisconsin thrifts since '91, originally from Valparaiso, IN. Now Indiana is BORING (except for the Dunes!), not Wisconsin...but Wisconsin's weather does indeed suck some mighty big ass...the last few years in particular!

    Some cool things in Wisconsin-

    Wisconsin Dells- largest water parks in the country, also some of the largest INDOOR water parks in the country

    Milwaukee- City with the largest number of per capita bars in the country. WOOT!

    Summerfest- Largest music festival in the country, every summer

    GENCON no more alas....

    World Championship Snowmobile Races in Rhinelander

    World Championship Kayak Races in Wausau

    Badger State Games- the largest Olympic-style competition in the world outside of the olympics themselves.

    Harley Davidson is headquartered in Milwaukee, so we get insane convoys of 10's of thousands of motorcycles in town every few years.

    I love it here

    Well, I have been telling some of the collectors and people I respect that come into my store about DP. So a few of them are probably lurkers who haven't registered yet.

    I like Wisconsin and plan on staying here. If you find Wisconsin boring its because your under 21 or have no friends. Sorry to put it so cut-and-dry, but the last 6 months have flown by and now with christmas this year will be over before I know it.

    Yeah, a LOT of wi members on here lately. Pity all you newcomers weren't here when i attempted to start a wisconsin video game collector's association. Heh. for those of you who were in that, and didn't know: IT'S DEAD. I shut down the site shortly after the MGC.
