Very interesting... and I'm an import. I didn't grow up here.
You know you're from Michigan if...
(True if bolded.)
- You show people where you're from by pointing to a spot on the back of your left hand. (Especially useful if you're from the Thumb or the Little Finger.)
- The only place in the world can you experience all four seasons in one day.
- You know what a 'party store' is.
- You've never met any celebrities.
- "Vacation" means going to Cedar Point.
- At least one member of your family disowns you the week of the Michigan / Michigan State game.
- Your idea of a traffic jam is 40 cars waiting to pass an orange barrel.
- Half the change in your pocket is Canadian....eh? (There once was a time when this was true)
- You drive 86 mph on the highway and pass on the right.
- You know how to play (and pronounce) Euchre.
- It's easy to get Vernor's ginger ale, Better Made chips, Sanders hot fudge sauce, and Faygo pop.
- You know how to pronounce "Mackinac."
- You've had to switch on the heat and the air conditioning
( ... )
It's sad that a lot of this is true for me, the Yoop (Hancock/Houghton) is like my second home- more the ~*cultural*~ stuff on here applies to me than the Minnesotan versions of this.
