It appears that blogging and texting lingo has finally brought down the halls of government. The Wisconsin Tourism Federation has been known as WTF for many years until the snickers of the new generation of texting citizens drowned out their message. They are now the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin, thank you very much.
The demise of WTF occurred without much fanfare despite the fact that it was established in 1979.
Actually, the good news is that it can now be picked up by New York as a signature tourism expression for the Big Apple.
One cannot be too hard on the people of TFW. During the Reagan Administration, officials were shocked when lawyers introduced themselves as “working to LUST.” It was a reference to the division dealing with Leaking Underground Storage Tanks. It was quickly changed to UST — Underground Storage Tanks — for propriety’s sake.
What I fail to understand (admittedly with a Chicago bias) is why people who wear cheese on their heads at football games are this sensitive about being called WTF. We grew up saying that about many of the things we saw across the border in Wisconsin.
Fortunately, for the texting set, there remains the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). Snicker, snicker.

For example, in Twilight Meyer stated that Edward was handsome.
Suited and booted in brightly coloured skin tight costumes, this
slick group must rely on team work to win the day, combining martial
arts skills and powerful magic. It’s colorful enough to attract attention, and the back of the box might have convinced you that it could be fun.
Still, compared to Toy Story 3 and How To Train Your Dragon, the scores look
low by the year’s high bar for animation. I have to
say that I enjoyed the DS version much more. Therefore, it may be a slight when they say Despicable Me is elevated
by it. However, he receives a mysterious gift of a pressed flower every year,
just like a gift his missing niece gave him long ago.
Instead of aligning your hands and feet on colored circles like the original
game, in Twister Mania players must avoid, break, or fit into silly shapes that will have you
and your friends bursting out into laughter.
If you are grouting then you require to let the adhesive dry
according to the directions. (For more information about the sisters survivor story,

Hi to all, how is everything, I think every one is getting more from this
website, and your views are nice in favor of new users.
Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the
same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
Additionally, the higher-priced Prestige Edition will
include a 1080p action camera that looks very similar to the Contour – HD
camera. I was saying this with added expletives while playing the otherwise brilliant Favela level set in a South
American shanty town. Many Crysis 2 fans were jaded by the problems, and the community quickly dwindled.
We are a group of volunteers and starting a brand new scheme in our community.

“Illinoyance” is easily the mildest term Wisconsinites have for our southern neighbors. My boyfriend (from Champaign) got called a FIB by a professor on his first day at the UW Medical School. Like WTF, the acronym is not translatable in polite company.
I love the “cheeseheads” in Green bay. They are great..
Federation of Tourism Wisconsin.
They missed teh move that woulda given them a FTW from the internet slobs.
And we in Wisconsin referred to those of you from Illinois as “Illinoyances” … 🙂
What’s wrong with WTF? My teenager told me it stands for “Why The Face?” Did she lie to me? WTF?
As a genuine cheesehead, I for one embrace our WTFness.
I really appreciate found comedy.
I always thought TFW was short for Too F…ing Weak as in:
that argument was TFW bdaman.
Lets see if we can get the State to change it to FEDERATION OF WISCONSIN TOURISM.
WTF???? Come on Cheesehead stand up and unit. Cling like that charp cheddar as it passed through the bile and say WTF.
