Our DQ dropped it's franchise, but it is re-opening under a new name when the snow melts!

[glassdave]

you show people where in the state you live on the back of your left hand

[cuda]

I know a chick that lives near International Falls who describe Minnesota pretty much the same way. I remember when she called me last year crying that it is too early to be that cold. It was on November 8th, it was 11 degrees and snowing sideways. I told her to get out a map. N is cold, S is warm. She's originally from Austrailia so being in a different hemisphere might be throwing her off. It was 112 degrees the day she was born.

13. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.

And it was carved from a stump with a chain saw.

[ChiefApache]

I was going to post this. Every frickin person who lives in MI uses their hand when you ask them where they live.

He means 2 weeks before Boyne Thunder.

3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

And you hear about it while eating venison, because they field dressed it and threw it in the back of the pickup.

Who are you kidding? The heated shanties with skids on the bottom that get towed out with ATVs have La-Z-boys.

The augers are gas powered. Like the generator that powers the TV and satellite receiver with the game on it.

Which is why you attempt 72 mph.

Yeah, but that would require bringing the summer clothes down from the attic before the winter clothes went up.

[fund razor]

9. If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Michigan .

Yeah, but now that we know that we have friends and family in common, we'll have to stay in touch.
