3. Great Uncle Al and Great Aunt Margaret lived there
Both long gone, but visited them a lot as a kid in the '60s. Always good to get back to the Thumb.

15. Riiight. And you were correct earlier
We are cultural illiterates. We're Americans.

A shame though. This really stuck out for me when I was stationed in Europe.

21. Ah, but if they are, then they ARE disgusted--Marcello is disgusted

7. No, I'm at home.
The Air Force would take dim view of me using one of their computers for partying up in DU.

What is such an urbane, cosmopolitan guy as yourself doing in Bad Axe?

10. I'm not in Bad Axe
I'm stationed in Virginia. But as a tribute to my home state, I cite the time in various locations in Michigan whenever I do a Q&A.

Now I hope that if you were stuck in Ubly, you had some lube handy to get you out.

How much more cosmopolitan than that can you get?

27. Nope, Disney was founded by an artist. Fox was founded in Hell
Still, its not like they were "losing" money by letting DU use their images.

I really hate FOX, but I must watch the Simpies.

LOOK AWAY! I'm a very weak man.
