As someone who grew up just outside of Detroit, but who had both grandmas living in the city proper, I'm siding with Detroit proper on this. Only as an ally, though, it's your fight. But I got your back.

We're *all* models west of the Allegheny.

And now it's known as "the place you have to drive to pick up people who for some damn reason or another decided to take Amtrak".

I tried, and failed, to find an animated gif of the Sherpas cartwheeling down the mountain after they get fired for telling him that.
Bad job, internet.

In Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people!

'BMO asks the air, which he views as an actual conversation partner because he has the active imagination of a small child.'

I hope he didn't take my attempts to destroy him too seriously.

You traded my soul for pogs?!?

Is next week the ones with the ducks that went away, to Canada, or some say Toronto, or still others say Joe used to sit over there, by those ducks?

I'm drinking a glass of wine a day! I know the doctor's say you should drink a glass and a half but I just can't drink that much.
