Same gel?

I live in SE michigan,born and raised. I’ve never said “milk" or pronounced things like others have said. But pop is pop. No soda shit. And fuck michigan roads

If by ‘world apart’, you mean mouth breathing hog hunting methead wannabe Wisconsinites, then yes indeed, you’re a world apart.

You were a consolation prize for the losers of a war fought over Toledo, so how about you put the keyboard down and get back to taking the truck nutz off and getting the plow ready to be put…

Wait, you want to be back in SW MI? I lived in Grand Rapids for the longest six weeks of my life once.

Oh man, there are only two times that I remember the UP even exists:

I spent a summer in Lexington and now live in Seattle and see a great deal of similarity between Meijer and Fred Meyer.

There’s not really an equivalent in Boston—-it’s either Wal-Mart or a warehouse full of rats that’s “family owned since 1927”.

If you cherish the bridge as the great wall that separates you from “the fucking trolls that live below the Mackinaw Bridge”, you might want to learn how to spell it, shithead.

Michiganders of a certain age refer to the store as “Meijer Shifty Takers”, a pun on its original name, “Meijer Thrifty Acres.”

I live in Detroit (okay, Novi) and have a quasi Canadian accent, so meh. I don’t see it.

If you think you’re any better than Detroiters, and all the people who claim to be Detroiters (read: everyone in the LP), you’re delusional from the moonshine.

At least we know that “Mackinaw” is spelled “Mackinac”. Who the hell would would want to live up in “The Booger of Michigan” anyway? The mosquitos are the size of Cessna airplanes, the women look like Yeti’s and they begin checking for cirrhosis in the fourth grade North of the bridge.

“Maybe you should travel there sometime to find that out.”

Wait, you are a “Yooper”? But when I look in your comments i see this....

Jesus. There was a year I was up there when it snowed October first. Then it didn’t stop until the end of fucking April. Everyday in January and almost everyday in February. It’s not god’s country. It’s the Norse version of hell.

I’m surprised Scott Walker hasn’t invited the Yoopers to just join Wisconsin. He could use a few more ignorant shitwits to shore up his support as governor. The only thing superior about the UP is the lake.

I lived in that ice-crusted devil’s butthole for three years. I thought that Seasonal Affective Disorder was a bullshit thing for people who wanted to get out of shoveling snow, until I moved to the UP and wanted to drink myself into a six-month coma in November because I knew I wouldn’t see a blade of grass again…

You’re the white trash Wisconsin didn’t want.

Let’s be honest, there aren’t a worse bunch of northern redneck hicks than yoopers. You all are some racist motherfuckers up there.

Okay, so maybe it’s not the most pleasant accent, but it’s way milder than anything across the lake. Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis...now those are some accents.

Good. Let’s start this. I grew up in the lower peninsula then spent four years in the upper. I can honestly say that every stereotype about racist, hillbilly, backwards, inbred, uneducated, shit-kicking imbeciles applies to yoopers. The upper peninsula is a stretch of trees broken by a two lane highway interspersed…
