michigan

One of the United States of America, 26th in the Union, with the longest freshwater shoreline in the entire world. Also, a person is never more than 6 miles from a natural water source, nor 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes. And most importantly, despite our tendency to truncate words, our accent forms what is called the "General American" dialect, or the one considered accent-less by the most people (although we do have some fun with words). Apparently, for people who can't spell, there are 23 different ways the residents of our state choose to spell its name. For what truly defines this state, I refer you below:

In MICHIGAN we have two seasons: WINTER, and CONSTRUCTION. 60 degree TEMPACHUR is occasion for shorts, T-shirts, and maybe a swim. We head UP NORTH to THE COTTAGE, which is anywhere north of the state's middle. The cottage is either some disintegrating cabin in the middle of BFE where we go to play EUCHRE, get drunk and THEN shoot deer; or it's a beach house that sleeps 22 and has its own marina. THE BEACH is Lake Michigan. THE LAKE is whichever Great Lake you are closest to. THE BRIDGE is MACKINAC and never ever pronounced "Mackinack." We have CIDDIES like GRARAPIDS, DihTROIH, Pah-NEEACK, BADDLE CRICK, an AnNARBOR. After coming home from THE PLANT we park our CAHRR in the GRAAGE and then pull A COLE ONE outta the FRIGERRAIDER. Otherwise we STAHP by the SEVENuhLeven an gedduh PAHP. Soda is something you bake with. We eat a SAMWICH, drink MELK, and have SHERBERT for dessert. We make a MICHIGAN LEFT and pass on the RIGHT. Driving the SPEED LIMIT warrants road rage. We blast through RUSH HOUR traffic at 85 mph past state troopers because they are looking for the guys doing 100. If we get pulled over we go to the SECRETARIAHSTATE. Our state bird is the MUSKEEDA which has been known to carry away cats and even small children. G's in verbs are always silent, R's are always hard, and we end our sentences with a PREPOSITION, like. T's in the middle of a word and not supported by another consonant are pronounced like a D, and when coupled with an "N", they get dropped like the useless energy-wasting consonants that they are.

Taylor Michigan

A small minded, downriver community or diverse people who are mostly white trash. Nobody ever gets out, therefore they succumb to years of dumbing down by washed up high school jocks who hang out at shitty bars like Malarkies or Mallies.

Man, I sure hated growing up in Taylor Michigan.

Michigan City

1. A city in northwest Indiana, about two hours away from Chicago and not too far from South Bend. Its one and only claim to fame is Mt. Baldy.

2. The place unicorns, bunny rabbits, and dreams of all sorts go when they're ready to die.

3. Corn.

I repeated senior year eleven times. Yes, actually, I am from Michigan City. Why do you ask?

Michigan Talk

When people who are native to Michigan discuss events and occurrences that are only pertinent to those within the state borderlines. This will often lead to a feeling of isolation and misunderstanding to people who are not from Michigan.

Last night Jake was engaging in Michigan Talk with some other people from Michigan and that made me feel unwanted and isolated from the conversation.

Bellevue, Michigan

A small village in Eaton county, Its known for its well.... nothing, theres nothing there besides old dicks getting wasted at the bar and smoking a lot of weed, the teenagers are pretty much the same way. They run around doing the most stupid things because well what else is there to do? Heroin has made such a large apperance in bellevue that all the drop out worthless kids just sit at the park smoking weed and then going home and shooting up and acting like a fucking nigger, like seriously all these teenagers think that they are the hardcore motherfuckers but really they are just hopeless wanna bes stuck in a god forsaken town. Our football team always loses but hey atleast we got... NOTHING. But if you wanna party and get wasted then we are the town for you.

Living in the middle of nowhere pretty much sums it up
