HOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM MICHIGAN... 1. You've never met any celebrities. 2. "Vacation" means going to Cedar Point. 3. At least 1 member of your family disowns you the week of the Michigan/Michigan State game. 4. Half the change in your pocket is Canadian.....eh! 5. You drive 86 mph on the highway and pass on the right. 6. Your idea of a traffic jam is 40 cars waiting to pass an orange barrel. 7. You know how to play (and pronounce) Euchre. 8. It's easy to get VERNORS ginger ale and Sanders hot fudge sauce,and Faygo pop. 9. You know how to pronounce "Mackinac". 10. You've had to switch on the "heat" and the "A/C" in the same day. 11. You bake with SODA and drink a POP. 12. The movie "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" wasn't funny. You consider it a documentary. 13. Your little league game was snowed out. 14. The word "thumb" has geographical, rather than anatomical significance. 15. You show people where you grew up by pointing to a spot on your left hand. 16. Traveling coast-to-coast means driving from Port Huron to Muskegon. 17. You measure distance in minutes. 18. When giving directions, you refer to "A Michigan Left". 19. You know that Kalamazoo not only exists, but isn't that far from Hell. 20. Your year has 2 seasons: Winter and Construction. 21. Home Depot on any Saturday is busier than toy stores at Christmas. 22. You know when it has rained because of the smell of worms. 23. Owning a Japanese car was a hangin' offense in your hometown. 24. You believe that "down south" means Toledo. Figured I'd pass this along since I know there's at least two of us here :) I will also vouch that each and every one of these is true :) [edit: For those that don't know what "A Michigan Left" is, here's a link explaining it: Michigan Left Turn] James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile.

I'm not having any problems connecting, but there are only a few people on right now, which is odd. Jason, Paul, and Phil are all that I'm seeing at the moment so you might not be the only one having problems. I don't think I've seen Colin on all day.
