Speaking of the waterways and boats, my fondest memories ofgrowing up in Michigan was the canoe trips that were part of summer camp. The Au Sable, the Rifle River. The problem is surviving the winters to make it to the incredible summers.

Appalachian State, biatches. Your state now owns the most embarrassing loss in college football history.

Or you could just be a cheater like Tressel.

Ohio is still the state that's so polluted it lit Lake Erie on fire.

♫See our river that catches on fire!♫

Can you cite the details that are current? I believe the lakes are a ton cleaner then they were more then a decade ago.

I will cite my source

If that is the best cite you can provide, I have zero respect for you. A knock on an Ohio city that also cites nothing?

Puleeze.

/If you want to contribute, base it on facts.

Wow, what's up with the angry Ohioans today? There's this thing. It's called a joke.

It's okay. I'm pretty sure the lack of respect is mutual at this point.

In that case, I will relent. I like people that can get a softy when appropriate.... And for your info? I am not from Ohio. But I would respect one with a good point to make.

Good lord, a Yooper on Fark? Do you really have internet up there?

There are a few of us :P

Things are fine up here in Traverse City, perfectly habitable! Don't forget to come for Cherry Festival or for the Traverse City Film Festival! Or maybe Beerfest! Or chocolate fest....or Comedy Festival...or the Legoman festival we just had...or man....we have a lot of festivals...!

No no no we have no festivals here in traverse city. We also dont have great restaurants beautiful beaches or excellent microbreweries. Traverse is a fetid swamp that no one should visit.

It's Michigan vs. Ohio. Neither of us really has a point beyond "Your state sucks, and I hate it. And I probably hate you, too. Oh, and you smell funny."

Would it make you laugh harder if I were to say I was born in Ky, raised in In, lived in several other stares and also Europe for me to have my current perspective? I also only moved to Mi to be here for the wife I am now divorced to as she had family here. I suppose that makes it funnier?

Yes, because laughing at divorce is the highlight of my day.

I'm sorry about the being born in Kentucky thing, though.

A lot of us YOOPERS on Fark. Maybe we should have a U.P. Fark Party?

Divergence is a wonderful thing wouldn't you say? But FYI, KY may be the most beautiful state in the union. It also has IMHO the very best food in several specialized food categories. An no. I don't like grits.

Notice that I am starting to be nice now.... on purpose.

Could this be the least interesting thread in the history of Fark?

Duly noted. That's very kind of you.

But what's wrong with grits? I had some delicious bacon and cheese grits with pepper when I visited Louisiana (which of course, is not Kentucky). They were fantastic.

Why not? St. Ignace is a drinking town with a fishing problem.

Sometimes I feel like the only Michigander that actually really enjoys the winters. I love cold weather, bring on the snow, I don't mind driving in it or shoveling it, and I hate the sunshine so 6 months of winter is pretty farking awesome for someone who enjoys wintertime sports/activities, like myself. To be honest I kind of wish Michigan were less sunny.

So it would seem. Yes, Western HS in Auburn (podunk town between Bay City and Midland) is sinking, as well. Has been for decades.

You guys better be careful. If all 5 of you get on the internet at the same time, the tube will clog.

breadprincess I have to admit I checked your profile before writing my first impression comment. That would be "You sound Chinese". Because I have a lot of Chinese/Asian friends who are pro-cold, anti-sunshine. Since you're new to fark, I'm explaining this all to you. It matters not whether you're Chinese or not, it's a kind of fark joke. Also since you're new to fark, oh never mind, I was going to tell about the welcometofark.jpg, but you'll find out soon enough.

ytterbium: Today, we went for a hike in a gorgeous old-growth forest, ate handmade chocolates in an orchard, strolled along a wide white-sand beach with aquamarine waters, went fishing for steelhead, bought locally-raised meat, grilled in absolute perfect weather with a view of the lake, and capped the night winning $300 at a beautiful casino resort.

Typical Michigan weekend.

I love my adopted state, will never live anywhere else after living many other places. I appreciated this article to learn more about it.

This is one of the most beautiful states in the nation. A lot of the people who say otherwise have never actually been here.

Shockingly enough, you're wrong. Yes, we had stupid players doing stupid things and a coach who covered it up, but that pales in comparison to your loss.

1 - That was the year your "star" quarterback and runningback came back, even though they could've gone to the draft, just to beat us.
2 - This was a team, regardless of their level of play, that your second squad should've been able to beat handily.
3 - It wasn't even a road game. They came into your house and beat you in your house.
4 - You were a nationally-ranked team. In fact, I believe the first nationally-ranked team to ever lose to a lower division team.

Face it - it was the most embarrassing loss in college football history.

Well, looks like we've finally found MIguy's tOSU counterpart.

fenianfark: The Thumb has some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever encountered.

Michigan is also home to Vernor's Ginger Ale, so it has that going for it too.

Really? I just drove through there last week... it's all flat and farmland. I've been all over the thumb area, it all looks the same to me.

So an Ohio land speculator told lies about the competition despite his government salary and duty to provide impartial data. In the great corrupt traditions of those Ohio presidents and football coaches who lie, cheat, and steal this should surprise no one.
Btw, the vitriolic hate does go both ways but it comes North on a 10 to 1 ratio of what goes South. Ohio just does not have much for us to be jealous.

But what about her 'Huge Tracks of Land'?

I'm That Guy: sulco:
I do get a hearty chuckle out of the Yoopers that think Kid Rock is singing about the UP in that song where he talks about 'Northern Michigan'.


Silly Yoopers, he's actually referencing Torch Lake in that song. 'Northern Michigan' is any place in the Lower Peninsula north of Clare and south of 'the bridge'.

There's a Torch Lake in the UP too, maybe that's why they are confused.

I thought maybe he was talking about Houghton lake or Hubbard lake. When he says Northern Michigan I knew he didnt mean the UP, he would have said that. When folks go up north but stay below the bridge, they just say up north. Beside KR is from Romulus, so northern central Michigan is far enough away to be wilderness

No no no we have no festivals here in traverse city. We also dont have great restaurants beautiful beaches or excellent microbreweries. Traverse is a fetid swamp that no one should visit.

Right, no wonderful french restaurant (Amical), no great sandwich shop (Grand Traverse Pie Company), no sushi bar (Red Ginger), no fudge shop (not even a few), and we DEFINITELY don't have wonderful sunsets over Lake Michigan only 20 minutes away (Empire), and NOT the most beautiful place in the US nearby (Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore). Fetid swamp is all we have.
