Get the Michigan Tumbleweed mug.Also known as the Toledo War.
Toledo has been a part of Ohio since its statehood in 1803. However, early maps of Michigan included the "Toledo Strip", an area of land stretching from Indiana to Lake Erie, containing the city of Toledo, as well as the Maumee River Bay. When Michigan sought statehood in the early 1830s, they included a small town called Toledo, MI in their survey of the land. Neither state ceded the land to the other.
In 1835, Ohio, having enough of this, raised a militia and sent it to the border. Laws were made against citizens submitting to the Michigan's laws. Michigan reacted similarly, also sending troops.
Shots were fired, but there were no actual casualties during the "war". However, when a Michigan deputy attempted to arrest an Ohioan, he was stabbed, and this is considered the only injury of the conflict.
In 1836, Congress pressured Michigan to give the land up. Today, Toledo and the Toledo Strip are both part of Ohio.

Get the Michigan-Ohio War mug.This is the home to a diverse group of people, although I will admit that the majority of them are farmers or work in auto factories.
There is nothing wrong with our pronunciation, and we are not all hicks. A hick is somebody who chews all day on his porch wearing a wifebeater, and sometimes shooting at people who walk by. A redneck is somebody who has gotten a sunburn from working outside all of the time. There is nothing shameful about that.
Our universities are some of the absolute best. The rest of you can suck it, honestly. You might think that you're smart, especially you Californians, but you're not.
Our lakes are not for surfing. They are for swimming and fishing. We hunt more than just rabbits and 'coons'. We go for bucks and bears. We are not pansies.
The city 'folk' are much different than us country 'bumpkins'. They might live in Michigan, but they are still considered outsiders. They are not easily effected by such factors as our crazy ass weather and our shitty governor.
Flint is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Grand Rapids is crowded, and Detroit is full of drug users. If you choose to visit this wonderful state, I suggest you go to a place such as Cadillac, Holland, or Elsie.
Soda is not something you drink, it is something you cook with. Pop, on the other hand, is a lovely carbonated substane that I suggest you try sometime. Pepsi is my favorite, but whatever floats your boat.
Say what you want, but we are all better drivers than you. That's right, you barefooted Californians. Ride your little fucking trolley.
The most important thing to remember is that Michigan might be flawed, but it is not a bad state. I have lived here my entire life, I know what I'm talking about. Stop ripping on it when you haven't even been here for more than two seconds, just passing through to lame ass Canada.

Get the Michigan mug.In Real-Time Strategy games, notably Age of Empires, a type of game map that uses impassable terrain (usually forest) to prevent players from rushing or coming into contact until the intervening terrain is cleared. Such maps teach bad RTS gaming habits to new players, as they prevent the development of rapid-response early game skills and encourage reckless booming.
There's so many Michi maps on the AOE servers these days that you can't have a decent game any more!

Get the Michi mug.*A magical state that consists of an upper and lower peninsula. The lower peninsula looks like a mitten.
*Here you can find college towns, laid off angry people, bored kids, cornfields, farms, and plenty homeless people in Detroit.
*Michigan can't be that bad, because people who live in Michigan actually vacation in other parts of Michigan.
People who live in the south part of Michigan like to go, "up north", sometimes to the U.P., to go hunting, fishing, camping, and visit the tourist attractions in their good old home state.
*Once people in Michigan turn 19,it is almost tradition to cross the birdge into Canada to go drinking.
*People love boats in Michigan, because of all the lakes, but have to sell them (no one will buy them) because they can't afford to use them anymore.
*Sometimes things get pretty depressing in Michigan, but at least the weather keeps us on our feet (you never know what to expect.)
*Numerous famous people hail from Michigan.. (Bob Sieger, Madonna, The White Stripes, Eminem, Kid Rock, Chiodos...)

I live in Michigan and I don't have a job, but at least I have a boat, a cornfield in my backyard, and saw Kid Rock at a Piston's game!
