The Senate will vote on the gay marriage bill Monday.

On Thursday afternoon, the House voted 75-59 in favor of a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Minnesota.

The tally came after a three-hour floor session. The bill was expected to pass, and many legislators wanted to put their mark on the historic moment with a few words.

Okay, you've been giving us the finger all "spring," or whatever we're calling it these days. We get the (snow) drift.

It's May 3 in Minneapolis and it's snowing. Most of us regard that as an unfortunate development, but it's nothing compared to what happened in Owatonna Wednesday night into Thursday.

GOOD DECISION: Mike Wallace turned down more money from Vikings because of Minnesota weather

Over the course of that evening, 15 inches of snow fell in and around the southern Minnesota town. One resident filmed the carnage with a camera looking into the frontyard of his house, then converted it into a time-lapse video for the rest of us to enjoy from the warmth of our still-being-artificially-heated-in-early-May-what-the-hell homes.

As one YouTube commenter writes, "As a Minnesotan, I approve this ad."

For Vikings fans, the new Madden NFL 25 commercial may end up being more fun than the actual game.

Um... let's just say Minnesota for Marriage's roadshow isn't exactly on par with the Stones in '72 as far as hot tickets go.

Last weekend, Minnesota for Marriage took its show on the road in hopes of drumming up some last-minute bigotry before the legislature gets around to voting on marriage equality.

Seems to us the root of the problem is the WBC's use of run differential as a tiebreaker. How un-baseball is that?

Rene Tosoni -- a Milwaukee Brewers outfielder and a veteran of 60 unremarkable games with the Twins during the 2011 season -- finally gave baseball fans a reason to remember his career.

No, Wisconsin wasn't firing rockets at us -- it was just an electrical fire.

Meg Brown was working at BKV Group's office at 222 North Second Street yesterday afternoon when she just happened to film the beginning of yesterday's North Loop electrical fire. She later uploaded the video to Facebook.

As one Facebook commenter notes, the footage is some "scary end-of-world kinda shit!" While Brown films utility workers working on the street, an explosion that sounds like some sort of missile strike suddenly happens to her left. Meg then pans the camera and captures the beginning of the smoky blaze blaze emanating from a sewer. Finally, the footage cuts to rapid-fire, noisy explosions as black smoke engulfs the adjacent sidewalk.

With adult role models like this, the real victim here might be the baby girl.

Since it happened in Winnipeg, this story isn't exactly local. Then again, Minnesota is the State of Hockey, and Winnipeg is almost as close to the Twin Cities as some of the NoDak shenanigans we've covered.

So with that caveat out of the way, we bring you the story of Jason Boyd -- a hockey dad whose caught-on-tape behavior embodies most everything that's depressing and scary about parenting and youth sports. During a recent game featuring 15-year-old players, Boyd, an infant in his arms, called one of the players a "midget" so loudly that everybody in the rink could hear it. But the "midget" player's dad happened to be standing right next to Boyd, and when he took umbrage about the remark, Boyd went off the rails.
