I know that there are few TBN members from Michigan.
A friend /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif from another state sent me this list. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

If you're from Michigan chances are... /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

- You've never met any celebrities.

- "Vacation" means going to Cedar Point.

- You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were
popular.

- You measure distance in minutes.

- You know several people who have hit a deer.

- Your school classes were canceled because of cold.

- You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.

- You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same
day.

- You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no
one in it, no matter what time of the year.

- You end your sentences with an unnecessary prepositions.
Examples: . . "Where's my coat at?" or "If you go I wanna go
with."

- All the festivals across the state are named after fruit,
vegetable, grain, or animal.

- You install security lights on your house and garage and
leave both unlocked.

- You carry jumper cables in your car.

- You know more about wind chill factors and lake effect snow
than you'd like to.

- You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a
snowsuit.

- Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled
with snow.

- You think everyone from other cities have accents.

- You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie.

- You think that deer season is a national holiday.

- You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

- You know all 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Hotter than
Hell, and Construction.

- There is a McDonalds in every town with a population of
1000 or more.

Hey thanks Ron. I printed it out for my wife, looks like we'll fit right in later this summer.

One more I've noticed...

You pronouce all the store names in the possesive (Meijers', K-Marts'). "I'm going to K-Marts' to get some oil."

Yup, & people work at Ford's or Chrysler's. Actually, there are only 2 seasons - Winter and Road Construction. The state symbol is the orange barrel.

However, we also have the longest coastline in the country and the most registered boats.

I thought our seasons were 11 months of winter and 30 days of bad sledding.

Don't forget: You're from Michigan if someone says "Big Mac" and you think of a bridge...You know the proper way to pronounce pasty...You know where "The Island" is...You have a '67' Skidoo for a lawn ornament...

The list is endless.

The only state you can get frost bite and sunburned in the same day.

What a great place!

In MI you get your pop in a sack, instead of your soda in a bag. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Winter and Construction? Didn't you forget "Bug Season"?

I was workin in the yard yesterday and I heard two skeeters talkin. One said "Do we eat him here or do we drag him into the woods?" And the other said "Are you nuts? If we take him to the woods, the big bugs will take him away from us."
