1) You show people where you're from by pointing to the spot on your hand. (The UP can be done this way, hand would be sideways with your thumb as the Keweenaw Peninsula)
2) The word thumb has geopraphical rather than anatomical significance.
3) You know Hell freezes over every winter.
4) At some point you had to wear your Halloween costume over your winter clothes.
5) You got to miss school for opening day of deer season.
6) You think 40� is a perfectly acceptable temperature to wear shorts in.
7) Driving is better in winter because potholes are filled with snow.
8) You measure distance in hours.
9) You might have more Canadian coins in your pocket than American.
10) You understand what this means...


Please feel free, if you are so inclined, to post your own.

I totally love what this topic was trying to accomplish. Kudos for starting it Plastic Pancakes but it seems that State rooms get ignored...much like the UP gets ignored by Lansing.

As for the topic...I'm a Yooper by birth but an adopted troll by choice.

Torgo, I have seen Snowpiercer...the end breaks my heart but I like it. I watched it because of Evans of course but I also like the director, Bong Joon Ho. Tilda Swinton is fantastic in this movie as well. I now would like to find a translated version of the graphic novel.

What I really want is to win the lottery so I can call in rich!

I wish you luck as well Pink!

This man of course! Chris Evans...

Because a live in an area that gets a lot of snow, I drive a reliable Jeep because it has go power. I'm not into cars but I do adore this one, a McLaren P1...

Thank you! I was outside for a while after work but now it's cold so I'm back in.

Feeling claustrophobic, like I'm caged.

In a friends with benefits situation, someone always catches feelings and someone will get hurt. You might want to satiate your needs but don't do it at the expense of someone else's feelings.

Don't forget there's a game on tonight.

When the Tigers win and #28 hits a homerun! Hoping for that 30th tonight!

Thinking about how it's so cool that Lake Superior was carved out by a ginormous glacier and all the rocks are millions of years old... Nerd time! But I do not profess to be anything less.

I am a fan of scruff and goatees...not on all men as some look better without them.

Beg her to take me back with her to NZ...

Dogs do love it...yuck.
A covered litter box with a flap at the entrance might work. Good luck!
