High: 27° / Low: 16° — Dude Weather Subscribe to Secrets Minneapolis / St. Paul
Psst, little secret: we're working on a line of local slogan-based t-shirts here. We've got some good ideas, but I want to ask you for your opinion on some that might not be as good. Which of those below do you like the most? Please answer in the comments.
» Paisley Park Refugee
» Norm Coleman Tried To Fuck Me, Too
» Al Franken Hates Hip-Hop
» I Got Laid in the MOA
» North Shore is a Bore
» Block E Blows
» Lohan, St. Paul, Summer '05
» Fly-Under Country
» Get Your Ass Back To Edina
» 348-SNOW
And by "like," I mean which would you buy?
Or suggest your own!
mini-apple, mini-soda
my mall is bigger than your mall
land of 10,000 fakes
how big is your cherry?
"Minnesota Nice ... We'll Help You Pull the Knife out of Your Back"
Sean Forever, Harmar Never
Norm Coleman Tried To Fuck Me, Too
348-SNOW
Too bad "I don't dig the Stripes but I go for HarMar" is both too long and probably copyright infringement.
(ps to Lindsey: i promise to not mention your blog the next time i see you.)
Brooklyn Dark, Eagan is for Breeders
--- Refreshingly unimportant
---Downtown frightens me
---Winter clothing turns me on
---Turn on the heater; roll down the windows
---Jesse Ventura ate my dog
---I love me some Christian radio
---Remember that obscure news item from 12 years ago? I do. I know people who were involved.
Won't you take me to Dinkytown?
Off the list, I like "Al Franken Hates Hip Hop" because it's both funny and true. And after much thought and consultation, these are the only two I could think of: "Uptown is the new Northeast" and "You Hipsters Try Too Hard". It's hard to do t-shirt comedy.
Although the Norm Coleman one is sorta a joke, I almost want to include it in the series so that he sues me and I get a ton of publicity. Isn't that how people in Hollywood "think big"?
How about "Norm gave me the bad touch"?
I am partial to the Norm Coleman shirt.
how big's your cherry? very nice.
how bout...
"I fucked that chick from The Suburbs"
» I Got Laid in the MOA
Only if it had Pigpen doing Lucy.
To borrow a line:
-Lake Street is for lovers
also:
-Downtown Maple Grove is the new Uptown
-Land of 10,000 Caribous
-Where the fuck is West St Paul?
Oh, and I like 384-SNOW and by "like" I mean, I'll take one in exchange for beer.
>>> ---Remember that obscure news item from 12 years ago? I do. I know people who were involved. <<<
BRILLIANT!
Whoa... Brooklyn Dark? That's not very Minnesotan.
348-SNOW and Al Franken hates hip hop are my two favorites.
'Where the fuck is West St Paul?'
Oh, Ryan, it hurts. So good. Ever since I moved out of Uptown I've had to come up with complicated explanations as to where our current abode is. Though technically we're on the West Side - of St. Paul proper, and not in West St. Paul. Though your eyes have probably glazed over already. Sigh.
I love the Norm Coleman and think I could buy for a few friends who could wear it in earnest. I also like Fly Over Country and Lake Street is for Lovers but most are too sarcastic. I think most pepople think those jokes are funny but don't like wearing their inner asshole. Why not throw some Minneapolis/Midwest pride ideas out there. If I become more clever throughout the day I'll even try it myself. P.S. Takes on Garrison and Prarie Home Companion may sell well in the coming months (although the lindsay tee didn't grab me).
these are good:
» Norm Coleman Tried To Fuck Me, Too
» Block E Blows
Jenny-Project For Pride in T-Shirts?
I didn't list all of them, but there's a really good Prairie Home Companion one in the works... it'll be a best-seller.
yeah, the PHC t-slogan is super funny. i was going to mention it but didn't want to let the cat out of the bag. buy mnspeak stock now!
Suggested T-shirt for Jenny: "I don't have an accent!" Or, "Smiles are free!"
see if I can put line breaks in here
from the list, norm takes it. other suggestions: I probably hate where you live too. s'uptown (on a muscle tee or it could go on a white hat pretty easily ) almost canadian Block E,-Camp Snoopy for the grown folks bob dylan lived in my building. not mugged yet - 2005 uptown walking tour crazy like a loon that wasn't walleye I don't want to see your band 333-3333 - still waiting for my cab new new york if you can read this winter is over you read this before you looked at my face I mind the gap in uptown mpls (on a sensible cotton tee in seasonal colors) mintyappletits (i'm thinking about tight tee's) Also, liked the cherry one from rachel
Man, t-shirt writing is tough.
333-3333 - still waiting for my cab
Block E Blows
Uptown is the new Nordeast
Norm Coleman...
And I would love to see "s'uptown" on some White-Hats at Williams or Brothers. Maybe with a picture of two fists touching knuckles.
Lifter Puller > The Hold Steady

I just realize I did the same thing twice. Should be:

I like the stadium one, Rex. (sorry if this spits out the HTML)
"Block E Blows"
"get your ass back to edina"
are your best shirts
"lake street is for lovers"
I'd buy that ryan
"How big is your cherry"
tops them all racheal
"Michelle Bachman Loves Bush"
"Bloomington is the New Sweden" (alternatively, "H&M is tne New Ikea")
"First Avenue and the King of Diamonds: No glass!"
"Carver County: Where the trucker cap will never tip."
Get your ass back to edina!!!!
Why is politics always the deciding factor for some people?
Did MNSpeak steal my line? I have been shouting "Go back to edina bitches!" to meat head suburbanites for the past 3 years. Nice work MNS, If this makes it to a shirt, you can sign me up for a few as well as "Block E blows." I have a tshirt that I bought a while back that says "First Avenue; F block E"
"Fuck Austin. I'm from Minneapolis"
wow. t shirt ideas. ok...
Ho
Ho
Home
for the
Holidays
Hey, Bob from ALAMN...Smoke This!
I love the Al Franken one.
Also loving the "not mugged yet - uptown walking tour " but i'd leave the 2005 off. i'd buy it since for me it's true. but i'm moving out...soon. anyone see that sword stabbing story. wtf?
i also like mintyappletits. i'd wear it. it'd have to be in bright kelly green though with white print.
btw if you need any designers, let me know.
Ban Bachmann
MNShutup
The one I would buy is:
348-SNOW
But My Idea Is..
RAWR!
I'M A MINNESOTAN.
I like:
"If you can read this winter is over"
"How big is your cherry?"
"Get Your Ass Back to Edina"
"Al Franken Hates Hip-Hop"
"s'uptown?"
add:
Minneapolis (written in Hmong)
i constantly get props for my "lake street is for lovers" t-shirt, especially from my fellow board members on the lake street council.
"Michelle Bachman Loves Bush" is brilliant! Eat it, baby!
Norm Coleman Tried To Fuck Me, Too
Get Your Ass Back To Edina
Lake Street is For Lovers
Can I please get these shirts?
Lifter Puller = Trip Shakespeare
Niney, I think you meant
LFTR PLLR = Trip Shakespeare
I just picked up a sweet LFTR PLLR poster at The Soap Factory, designed by Aesthetic Apparatus.
How about, "My Mayor's Packing Heat!"
Now if we can only get him caught cheating on his wife....
"I got laid through MySpace"
"I'm a member of PETA
(on back)
P eople
E ating
T asty
A nimals"
Those are two of my better ideas.
"suptown is fun"
play off ClockworkGrue and do Minneapolis in all different languages of people in Minneapolis.
