Thanks.

Well I personally love the whole hand as a map deal we have. I only break it out 2 or 3 times per year, so hopefully I'm not a total douche. Also I smoked some damn good shit in my day, it's all in who you know baby.

Now one thing I hate is that here on the west side (I'm originally from near Saginaw) people LOVE Chicago sports. I mean what the fuck, they highlight the Chicago teams in the league standings in the sports page and feature them on the front page. I've never understood that, I don't EVER remember them doing that where I'm from.

Timothy McVeigh

I didn't know he was from Michigan.

I knew that the Nichols' were from Dexter (or was it Decker?)

This thread is for fancy learnin', I guess.

Was gonna do one about Kwame and now I think it will just be "stupid state politics."

I definitely have a big rant about the entire Western 1/3rd of the state coming. Sorry Glenn. What can I say? The white-bread Dutch aryans get on my nerves.

Yes, definitely covering how no one will shut the fuck up about the Lions no matter how conclusively they prove they're not worth caring about.

Yeah, I grew up with it and it's second nature but my Chicago friends freak out about them.

It's better than Jersey, though. They have these giant circle things you have to go around to make either turn at some intersections. Retarded.

They just build 3 roundabouts in Ann Arbor near the new high school. The Miller/Maple exit from M14 is now totally confusing.

And yet they totally hate us! There should be some kind of law against Packer fans receiving Michigan state tax dollars.
