I’ve been challenged by Least Original User Name Ever to get the Michigan Division of us dopers together for some mirth, drinks, heady conversation, showing dopers where we live by pointing on our left hand, and maybe some pie or someone gets nekkid or something… not sure how these things work… anyway…
I’m in Southeast MI, but I’m not sure I’d want to host, I’m not good at organizing things of this sort. Someone help!
Not to be picky, but the lower peninsula is the right hand. Of course, the left hand can be the upper peninsula if you hold it sideways (but its not to scale).
Hint: You can use a rubber band between your left pinky & your right middle finger to simulate the Mackinac Bridge, if you like.
Yeah, I live in Chicago now, but am moving back to Michigan (hey, why am I passing all these moving trucks leaving the state?!?) by the end of summer. So, if you don’t have it before July, I’d possibly be in.
And why do you assume that cymk was trying to show the lower peninsula? He never said ANYthing about that. I’m getting really sick of the peninsulist behaviors you people exhibit. BOTH peninsulas can be shown using one’s hands; assuming that one is favored over another is blatant peninsulist behavior.
So when are youse guys coming up? I have this sneaking feeling that cymk didn’t look at my location tag before he shouted “WHEN” at me.
I wanna come! Only I live in NY. But I lived in MI for a good many years as a child and when people ask me “Where did you grow up?” I’ll still say MI. I know where to point on my hand to tell you where I live. (Warren, MI, just outside of Detroit). I remember Hart Plaza.
