But I still love the game 🙂 Worm .in our last feud you were impressed by my knowledge of Iceland and asked if I knew as much about Michigan. Of course. even more. Michigan was settled by people who were escaping the IMPERIAL and cruel reign of Queen CROWN VICTORIA and her husband the LEBARON. Thet were called the FORD 500 and sailed in 3 boats called dealerships. They were the VOYAGER,the PINTO and the PT.CRUISER. They landed near an area now called Detroit surrounded by the Rust Belt Hills. They had a FOCUS on farming and grew FUSION crops that became todays HYBRIDS. Once here they launched EXPEDITIONS into the environment and ate the VW RABBITS they found there. They tamed the MUSTANGS and COLTS they found and grew happy. But the summer SOLSTICE came and an evil fast tribe the POBTIAC GTOs decendents of the AZTECs came back. They killed and ate the CHEVY IMPALAS and scared the 500. The puritanical 500 were upset because the gender confused GTOs spent their weekends at Drag Strip Bars. So a war followed. When we shot blow guns at them the GTOs easily DODGED the DARTs. So we TRACKED them down slowly and steadily. Soon they ran out of gas and we put them into reservations. That is where they re-tired. We were surprised to see how often they had to re-tire. That is when we saw Indian reservations were a good thing. After all ,you never know when you are going to need an indian. ---
