mab1823:

But the fourth one stayed up!

ronaprhys: Currently living in Ohio, could happily stay here.



If not for Cedar Point, nobody from Michigan would ever step foot in your shiatty state.

FTA: "To become a state you needed 60,000 residents (defined as white males)."

So, does Michigan still qualify?

HMS_Blinkin: sulco: They're talking about downstate, so no surprise there.

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

Uhm no.. I am out of state right now so I have internet. And we don't have indoor plumbing or electricity. We travel by mule wagons.. the skeeters are as big as crows and the black flies can carry a grown man away. Everyone should probably stay away so no one else gets hurt.

/not really.. mostly..

I admit it, I clicked the stars to see if it would rate. :/

I built it anyway.

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

"In 1815, Ohio native Edward Tiffin, the U.S Surveyor General, visited the Michigan Territory and reported on November 30, 1816 to the Secretary of War that "there would not be more than one acre out of a hundred if there would be one out of a thousand would ... admit of cultivation. ... It was unsafe for men or pack mules, the ground sinking at every step and shaking for several feet around, having indications of being over a vast underground lake covered by a thin crust though which a man or mule might easily break and be lost.



Seen here in this documentary.

9beers: ronaprhys: Which is fine, because honestly, we don't want you here. You've already ruined one state so until you show even a modicum of intelligence, stay the hell up there.

Are you mad because we got the Upper Peninsula and you got stuck with Toledo?

Don't feed the Buckeye. We all know they can't be reasoned with.

The UP is not Northern Michigan... we are the uppermost-eastern region of Wisconsin.

ALTHOUGH 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'.

/not a real Yooper, transplant
//but I do pay taxes here
///and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night
////not really..
//Gin and slashies are awesome

Forty-Two: That's why the western part was settled by Swamp Germans.

/including my ancestors
//I'm so glad my parents moved out of Michigan before starting a family


What a Swamp German might look like.

Seems like you've confused it with the Adirondacks.

There is no confusion. This is also an accurate description of the Upper Peninsula.

They mail there internet forum responses to Houghton or Marquette and some teenager types it into the intertubes from there.

/ Gonna be in L'Anse next week
// Hey dere how ya doin' OK thanks

ronaprhys: michigan sucks.

/that is all

So does your mother----- that's why you're stinking up the earth today.

Probably the first recorded instance of Ohio/Michigan rivarly.
