1. It is not nice to brag

especially to those of us who live beneath you. :rofl:

[UrbScotty]

9. We gave America John Conyers

You gave us someone whose name hardly anyone can pronounce... Kuchinik? Kusinski? Kissassich?

[barb162]

43. Okay, Conyers... Michigan is indeed the best!

and it is a very pretty state

[barb162]

44. I like Michigan but haven't been there for a while

[UrbScotty]

46. Come! (nt)

[billyskank]

2. Hey, can't argue with that

:hi:

[hfojvt]

3. again? Then what would happen

if I moved back to Michigan? If you are better than me simply by virtue of the fact that you live in Michigan then logically everyone who lives in Michigan is better than everyone who does not live in Michigan. I should be able to refute that thesis in two words - Ted Nugent.

[UrbScotty]

10. Nugent doesn't live here anymore. (nt)

[Deja Q]

4. I live in my own world and am therefore better than you

Nyah nyah-nyah-nyah nyah! :rofl:

[UrbScotty]

11. Sure act like it

<ducks>

[Deja Q]

13. And why not?

:7

[miss_american_pie]

5. You can believe that

if you need to. ;)

[ornotna]

6. I guess living in Florida

Makes me the equivalent of basalt. :cry:

[UrbScotty]

12. Only if your brother is the President (nt)

[tokenlib]

7. I'm in MI and the alcohol and pills help me feel the same way...

..through the job losses, economic suckiness and obnoxious republican idiots...

:) LOL! Here in MI we have to laugh about something...

[BlueStorm]

21. I second that...

[wain]

8. It's true

I was born and raised in Michigan, so I know it's true.

Sad part is I no longer live in MI:(

[Madrone]

37. Me too!

Born/raised Kalamazoo girl here! :hi:

I'm moving back - but I'm not sure WHEN.

[Road Scholar]

14. You have been smokin' the curtains again. We gave the country

Sam Ervin. Do you know which red (soon to be blue) state I'm from?

[UrbScotty]

15. I was born in that state.

Sadly, I was born a constituent of Jesse Helms.

[Road Scholar]

16. Oh my. I don't believe I'd have told that. LOL Have you changed?

[trof]

17. I can't argue with that.

[sarge43]

18. Not if you live in Hell

(Michigander/goose in joke)

[gollygee]

19. Not better than me!

:D

[leeroysphitz]

20. I heart Detroit.

[UrbScotty]

22. Connecticut...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. Oh yeah?

:P

[UrbScotty]

24. What did Maine give America?

Huh? }(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Lobstah. Chowdah.

Hannibal Hamlin.

Uhm....

:silly:

[Jazz2006]

26. Michigan...gotta love it if only for the

fact that it has a city called Kalamazoo.

When I was a kid, my parents liked to take long road trips and at some point, we went through Kalamazoo and the name stuck with me. There was a game that we played at school where you had to come up with the name of a city that started with the last letter of the city previously stated in the game.... when my turn came and I had to come up with a city name that started with the letter K, I said Kalamazoo and everyone thought I was making it up.

I said, "but but but....no, really, it's a place in Michigan. I saw it. It's for real."

To no avail. They didn't believe me.

I suggested that they look it up on a map.

Instead of looking it up for themselves and finding out that it actually existed, they insisted that I was making it up and taunted me relentlessly.

9 year olds can be such little bastards.

I wonder where they are now.

(My guess: either at Freeperville or at the 9/11 conspiracy sites.)

[bridgit]

27. k...

[Brigid]

28. I'm from Indiana . . .

Therefore, I'm better than you! :P

[Skittles]

29. I live in Texas so you would be correct

:o

[Beausoir]

30. Not if you live in Grand Rapids you're not.

Gads...what a horrible place to live.

I spent 5 LONG years there. I wouldn't move back for a million dollars.

[4morewars]

31. I spent a week there one night !

:bounce:

[sarge43]

33. Obviously you've never been to Frankenmuth

We're talking Twilight Zone level weird here. :scared:

[UrbScotty]

39. I'm from Kentwood!

Better than Grand Rapids in all things but politics (GR itself is Dem... just not the rest of West Michigan.)

[Beausoir]

61. I lived very close to Kentwood. 44th and Kalamazoo..Milbrook.

First weekend I moved into my home...two thugs walked into my garage in broad daylight. My father in law caught them removing the pins to my door....they were planning on coming back later to rob us.

I couldn't understand how my neighbors gushed about the great neighborhood. They were all older retirees and the home prices were in the upper 100's.

Two blocks away a child was stabbed to death.

There were NO sidewalks. None. No child could ride a bicycle in Grand Rapids.

Downtown was block upon block of burned out buildings. There is one little enclave of E Grand Rapids...but even that is just some ridiculously overpriced homes in a high crime area.

God. I spent 5 years there and I consider myself lucky to have escaped with my sanity.

[patsimae]

63. There is a college nearby

A Catholic college I think? Do you know the name of this institution it escapes me.

[UrbScotty]

66. Aquinas (nt)

[u4ic]

32. Hey, I'll always be on top

being a Canadian and all...;-)

[billyskank]

34. Hey u4ic

:hi:

[u4ic]

45. Hey billy!

How goes it? :bounce:

[billyskank]

48. Sunday evening loneliness

The lounge is always quiet at this time.

[u4ic]

50. Awww...

:hug:

That's why I went out grocery shopping; the lounge was dead.

The supermarket was definitely not.

[dipsydoodle]

35. I shop,

therefore I am. So there ! :headbang:

[UrbScotty]

38. Michigan or UK? Which gave the world Margaret Thatcher?

}(

[dipsydoodle]

40. Ya lost me somewhere

I didn't give no one Maggie. Thought at first Do you know Dick was a question as my name is Richard.

[begin_within]

36. I think Michigan residents are more literate.

In my database of customers I have 123 people in Michigan and only 18 in South Carolina.

[MiniMandaRuth]

41. Washington ROCKS!

:headbang:

Coffee, computers, aireoplanes, Jimi Hendrix..... We got it goin' on!

[UrbScotty]

70. Whatever.

You're just jealous because our governor looks better than yours. }(

[Jade Fox]

42. I've lived in Michigan...

on Mackinac island.

Can I at least sit at your table?

[UrbScotty]

47. Ever been to the French Outpost?

:9

[Callalily]

49. Fort Michilimackinac

Yup, been there several times, as well as Mackinac Island!

[Giant Robot]

51. I live in Michigan too

And probably north of you.

So :P

[UrbScotty]

52. Definitely north of me

...but I'm still better than you.

:P

[Giant Robot]

54. *Insert witty reply here*

:P

[dr.zoidberg]

53. That's insane.

That's like saying that you're from Louisiana and are proud of its education system. "Louisiana, at least we're better that Arkansas".

[UrbScotty]

55. Well, I am still better than you

:P

[bif]

56. Except for the job situation!

I love this place. But I've been "underemployed" for a year now.

[UrbScotty]

57. At least you don't work for Amway - excuse me, ALTICOR (nt)

[Giant Robot]

59. But.....

Amway is the way to get rich! The meetings told me so!

[Momgonepostal]

58. You're probably colder than me, too!

Seriously, though. Other than the cold I bet Michigan is not a bad place to live. Ya gotta love Kalamazoo with that promise to help pay for public school children's college.

[WildEyedLiberal]

60. Illinois > Michigan

That is all.

:P

[qnr]

62. I agree, you are much better at living in Michigan than I am. n/t

[shugah]

64. i live in michigan also, therefore you are my equal

;-)

Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice

[UrbScotty]

67. Yeah... but WHERE in Michigan?

}(

[swag]

65. Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

You are better than me, but it's not because you live in Michigan.

[UrbScotty]

69. Yes it is (nt)

[RedCloud]

68. You better wish again...

Michigan,

indeed!

[1gobluedem]

71. I live in the best town in Michigan -- Ann Arbor

Therefore I am better than everybody....:woohoo:
