Do you believe that North Dakota exists?

Before you answer this, have you ever met ANYONE from North Dakota?

If you have, are you SURE they weren't lying?

Huh?

See.

Like maybe, suburbs where Santa's elves and reindeer live?

exist

Got pictures?

Got you there.

I require a liberal sample of this "North Dakota" sent to me in a sealed container so I may examine it for myself.

am I REALLY here?

Maybe

But only in the minds of South Dakotans.

She'd tried to drive through it several times, and had never managed it. She'd wind up in Oklahoma (she was driving from NW Arkansas), but never in Kansas.

So yeah,it's real.

nt.

to be gay! There is no way he is telling the truth. There are no gay people there.

Oh, wrong meaning of gay? yes there are but it can be difficult.

both sides... I will find some pictures from the trip as proof...

So how do you explain it or Crazy Horse...

I've been there. But I don't really know if there's a North Dakota.

What about that big drug store thing... kinda like the Dakota's "south of the Boarder"....

Also in South Dakota.

I'm not sure.

They immigrated here from Denmark and owned most of one of the Dakota's, at least thats the family story anyway.

They lost it all in some kind of economic crash, don't remember which one.

But there all dead so maybe its a myth, like Atlantis

have been and all I have seen.

:P

Eastern ND

Badlands

Jamestown buffalo

clouds

snowglobe

If you haven't seen it you need to it is really cool...

it still is really cool, and I was there when I was 8...

I can vouch for the coolness factor - I was 'hip' back in those days (sixth grade).

He will definitely make you believe it exists!

which was also the home of baseball player Roger Maris.

:bounce:

You gotta go ta
North Dakota
dah dah dah dahhhh
dah dah dah

Game is Fargo North, decoder

Liquor is Everclear

Fargo is proof. :kick:

If you had done that, you would be as sure that it exists as you are sure of anything.

True story: Back when the 55 mph speed limit was introduced, the cops in most states were pretty strict about enforcing it. My parents were driving back from visiting me in Oregon with my mother at the wheel. Somewhere in the middle of North Dakota, a highway patrolman pulled her over for going 65.

"Oh, but this state is so boring!" she said.

The patrolman laughed and let her go.

Wouldn't you like to know?

I'm her evil twin, the one our parents didn't tell her about. :evilgrin:

I've driven across Morth Dakota many times, taken the Amtrak Empire Builder, it's definitely there. But consider this - when everything goes to hell, the coasts are under water, the Gulf States are hotter than ever, where will America cast a longing eye - North Dakota!

MikeG, you may very well be my soulmate....

One of the longest standing jokes in my family is that there is no North Dakota. (i.e. The U.S. has 49 states, and a bit of southern Canada)

Ummm... yeah, it's a state and it's kinda like South Dakota, only further north.

and lived to tell the tale.

YES VIRGINIA, NORTH DAKOTA DOES EXIST!

I've been to ND several times and it is not a bad state (at least in the summer). My dad grew up there and I would not want to encounter it during the winter.
Driving across it, east to west, there are fields, fields, and more fields, and then suddenly, plop, there are the Badlands. There isn't really a way to describe them, blew my mind. But I did have a great deal of fun out there, buffalo and wild horses. Great place.

My Grandfather lives about an hour east of Fargo in a small town in Minnesota... I have spent x-mas there and it isn't TOO bad...
I have to agree, there isn't much in ND but it is still kinda nice and the Badlands are a lot of fun....

20 degrees below keeps out the riff raff!

i am a north dakota native from bismarck.....so now you've met one

If you can't believe the Coen Brothers, then all is pretty much lost, isn't it? :-)

so all the evidence I have is that is on the map

for that matter--South Dakota too.

Some of my family journeyed out there to see him, so I'm pretty sure he didn't make it up. But Minot is very close to the Canadian border, so maybe he was actually in Canada? :shrug:

Am I sure? Yes, they were representatives from Great Plains Accounting Software, based in Fargo (now a part of Microsoft.) Anyway, why would they lie about that?

LOL

:scared:

If you want to map it, it will be located 5 miles past the end of the Earth. -20 keeps the riff raff out? How smart can we be where we live in a place that from December to February we have to plug our cars into an electrical socket to turn on the block heater so the car can be started 2 hours later? In the winter you can die if you ever get stranded because it's so cold, In the summer it's pretty, yes, nice and green, but it's hard to see through mosquito netting, you don't dare go outside around dusk, the mosquitos are as big as horseflies, and if they don't bite you, no-see-ums will...if you go just about anywhere northeast of Bismarck, it's marsh because of the flooded land...but on a up note, crime isn't too bad, nice people for the most part, it's not hard to find a job around here, can't say much about the local cruisine, as I am not a fan of Lutefisk or Klub. the pic above of the big buffalo, that is near Jamestown isn't it?
Carly

is located just outside of Jamestown.

The people who claim they live in North Dakota or claim that they've visted North Dakota are probably all liars.

People who supposedly have 'evidence' that it does exist don't realize that the devil put the 'evidence' there to confuse the satan-worshippers and non-believers. God is testing the faith of the chosen, for it is written that ..."he who doth disbelieveth in North Dakota shall gain life everlasting." It's in the Bible somewhere, in the back I think.

I've seen no direct evidence.

I have met people who claimed to have visited there or to be natives but they have not been able to scientifically verify their statements.

The photos I've seen prove nothing - any 14 year old could have whipped 'em up in Photoshop in about 10 minutes.

But nor have I seen any evidence or even any logically valid argument that North Dakota can't exist.

More research and experimentation is required.

Khash.

actually just a hollywood stunt. :eyes:

Peter Shickle, is an emeritus of the University Of Southern North Dakota, at Hoople?




It is, though, not such a famous place as a Google search brings it up:

Any search - "university at southern north dakota at hoople" - Google says: did not match any documents.

Yes, it's true. Prof. Shickle is one in a million.

Not that there are a million people in North Dakota...

But, there you go.

Minnesota, when I got there, was far more interesting because of the wild life, mosquitoes.

Yes, my child, North Dakota DOES exist.

And here is the conclusive proof:

Here's a picture from my dorm room looking outside at FARGO.

I'm not convinced.
