#RejectedMinnesotaTownMottos Nails Neighbors; Lakeville Spared

The weekend hashtag game skewered Burnsville, Farmington, Northfield and other Minnesota towns.

Some Minnesotans on Twitter passed the beautiful summer afternoon Sunday thinking up "#RejectedMinnesotaTownMottos."

No one picked on Lakeville, but towns near and far came in for some ribbing:
