As it turns out Minnesotans are NOT down with these absolutely credible threats of stealing their lakes. No, they are here to fight those threats of thievery with fiery, ridiculous Facebook events dedicated to deterring anyone foolish enough to try. If anything, what they've come up with is hilarious and impressive. Can we please summon a Paul Bunyan? I'm game.

"Another one bites the dust!" When various, bold Minnesotans took it upon themselves to try and trek through a nasty winter storm, the viral video of the hilarious struggle was INEVITABLE. And whoever touched up the moments of fail with the songs for added dramatic effect, is the real MVP.

If you stepped outside your mid-January, Netflix-addled cave recently you probably heard something about Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, and his devastating botched attempt at taking home the W last weekend against the Seattle Seahawks. To put it lightly, it was an unanticipated moment of sheer unfettered insanity.
A 27-yard-attempt miss. Nobody saw that coming. Check out this absurd compilation of fan reactions from both ends of the spectrum:
Anyways following all that madness, a first-grade class wrote a collection of encourage letters to Blair Walsh to cheer the saddened soul up. He responded in pretty much the best and most gracious way possible by visiting the kids today at Northpoint Elementary School in Blaine, Minnesota.

The children passed along advice in their letters like, 'you are handsome,' and 'everyone makes mistakes sometimes. One time I made a mistake when I was doing a cartwheel.'
Cartwheels are tough as fu*k though, so totally understand on that account. Suffice to say, all parties involved were feeling seven kinds of thankful. Keep your head up Walsh!
"For them to show this empathy and kindness towards me is remarkable." - @BlairWalsh3

Is the state backwards, or is that an effect of the mirror?

Yes, that gas can is actually the car's gas tank. It's fully hooked up to the engine. This makes it distinctly different from the driver's mind, which has clearly come unhooked from everything.
