    You know you're from Michigan when...
    <UL TYPE=SQUARE>
    you define summer as three months of bad sledding

    snow tires come standard.

    going coast to coast means Port Huron to Muskegon

    a trip to the islands means Mackinac & Bois Blanc

    your favorite hockey team's mascot is an octopus

    you use your hand to show people where you grew up.

    half the coins in your pocket are Canadian.

    you know Pontiac and Cadillac are cities.

    you can name all 5 great lakes in order of size.

    you know what to do when you hear the tornado siren.

    your seasons are "almost winter", "winter", "still winter" and "construction"

    and finally you know you're from Michigan when you can pronounce Ypsilanti, Mackinac and Mackinaw [/list]

    Keep'em flying

    This Michigander, yes we are called Michiganders our legislator voted on what we are called, appreciates your list. It is all true.

    Here is some I would like to add. You are a Michigander If:

    You know Walmart is a cheap knock off of Meijers.

    The wooden shoes in your closet are from a school trip to Holland.....Michigan.

    To get in the Christmas mood you go to Bonners in Frankmuth, the countries largest christmas store.

    You go to several car shows, parades and celebrations a year.

    You get excited to see a new car line.

    When talking about autos you not only know the make and models, but what city/plant all the american cars were built in.

    You have been to the Gerald Ford museum in Grand Rapids.

    And finally you know a pasty is a meat pie, not something a stripper wears.

    About a decade ago the Michigan Senate held a vote as to whether we were to be called Michiganders or Michiganians, Michigander won.
