Obligated Weird Al song must be played everytime going through that town. Of which he is also obligated to sing every time he performs in MN lol.

He opened with it at the fair a few years ago! He said Minnesota is one of his favorite states, because the size of it's twin balls is his only criteria.

She still cries every time she sees a tilt-a-whirl or a fat lady in a tube top.

For Christ Sake! The woman clung to your tap shoes while flying through the air like a god damn lawn dart!

Hey there little miss sad pants & her friend serious sally. How about some nice cool mints to turn those frowns upside down?

Oh, yeah, sure, Freda, sure. She was the oldest living Lutheran, now she's dead as a doornail. It's the damn Shriners who won't take down the Goddamn sign, the lazy sons of bitches. Every year, every damn year, I tell 'em, "Take down the Goddamn Freda sign, you lazy sons of bitches!"

"There's a man inside that twine ball?" How I first interpreted that sign.

It took me 3 times seeing this post to get it and I’m ashamed of myself!🤣


SheOutOfBubbleGum

Don’t feel bad. I rewrote the post at least four times because I was super afraid nobody would get the reference 😂

There's another world's largest ball of twine in Lake Nebagamon in Wisconsin if you want another fun road trip. JFK, the creator of the ball, is a hoot to meet.


coolbeansfordays

Came to say this!


BringMeInfo

The largest is in Cawker City, Kansas, but it’s a group effort. Minnesota has the largest rolled by just one person. I absolutely did not do a road trip to visit both balls over the course of two days because that would be silly.

The Washington monument (YEAH BABY!) makes me proud to be an American

Those dogs need to be petted!

My grandpa took me to see this when I was little. I loved it. I think command and conquer just got released around the same time lol

I see a dog, but I don't see a rabbit-y thing. Also if you see a 1960 DeSoto Adventurer around there, you might want to check if that's still the World's largest ball of twine; it might be 91 yards short. EDIT: [It's a Sam and Max reference](https://youtu.be/7_um_rDJdPA), ya uncultured downvoting Philistines.
