4. It's just a two-city poll (following the trend of previous ones today).

9. There's as many GF DUers as Fargo DUers, probably more!!!
DUers in Fargo that I know of: Myself, markus, ploppy and RC.

DUers in GF that I know of: You, alexwcovington, twisted liberal and CocaCola58204.

Toliana is somewhere in ND also.

Hypothetically, if we had a get-together, would we have it in Fargo or Grand Forks???

18. I had Hillsboro on my mind too.

But there's really nowhere decent to meet up there. Your choices are either Burger King or Subway.

I'd say that the city that has more DUers should be the host. Right now, it's tied 4-4 (Counting CocaCola58204 who lives on GFAFB).

6. The Oilers are my defacto favourite NHL team until 2006...
...when the Jets return to Winnipeg and the brand-new, state-of-the-art 15,500-seat MTS Centre.

8. the Jets are coming back?!
Hmm... as a Wild fan I'm torn.
Winnipeg is closer than St. Paul.
but Minnesota is about 4 miles from my house.

oh well, I'll have to be a fan of both, and when they play eachother get drunk and cheer on both teams.

10. I was born and raised a Jets fan.
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 07:42 PM by northwest
Theye used to televise Jets games on cable here in Fargo when I was growing up. That's how the love started.

13. Calgary has all that plus double the crazy neo-cons.
Not to mention all the fundy nutbars. Who could say no?

12. Winnipeg has an awesome auto mall.
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 07:50 PM by northwest
Probably one the biggest one in Canada. It's good if you're into cars and such.

It's also the 6th largest city and 7th largest metro in Canada. (City pop. 660,000, metro pop. 705,000)

14. I'd love to live in either city
but until the Jets come back (and you know I hope they will) I have to go with Edmonton.

As a Bruins fan though I have to say,"fuck Montreal and the Canadiens!" :evilgrin:
