LOLx I was just wondering if we could hack their p.a. systems and broadcast Copacabana, It's a Small World After All, Let it Go, and The I Love You Barney theme song in a 24/7 loop. I mean, I know it is a form a torture and might be against the Geneva Convention but desperate times call for desperate measures! 2 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an acquaintance that spent time in an area where "go two I see's" were legitimate directions. My mom was really sad when the blue and red brick house was painted. she always used it as a reference. (when it was first painted - the blue practically glowed. you couldn't miss it.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! We must be behind in our pot shops, though ours would probably be CBD oil shops instead. Here it might UDF or Speedway, but Dunkin' is making a play for universality (used to be hard to find a Dunkin' around here). I know some places where it would be Turkey Hill, Sheetz, or Wawa.

Faith-manor Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Can I just say that I defy any ruskie tank convoy to try to take Detroit during rush hour? I mean seriousLy, I want them to try to navigate I-75 at 5 pm with thousands of cars all doing 90mph, and at least three corvettes doing 100+ and swerving in and out of traffic like the Joker bought himself a sports car in Gotham! I envision tank drivers in tears, and begging the Kremlin to let them come home. There is no accounting for the crazy of a half million people all determined to assault the same highway simultaneously with the expectation of driving twenty miles in fives minutes flat! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Russia makes it through Alaska, it has an easy journey through Canada. All we'd say is "sorry for getting in your way," and politely point south. There may be a few trucks blocking the way here and there shouting, "No masks or vaccs!" 😉 Edited February 28, 2022 by wintermom 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So speaking of Russians and Detroit reminded me of the following. I was a Russian Language and Lit major in undergrad (yes, I took the circuitous route to teaching math) and I spent the fall of 1992 studying in St. Petersburg, Russia. When Russian students would ask where I was from, I would reply, "Michigan, not far from Detroit" (but in Russian). I live in West Michigan and wanted to mention a city they had heard of. But whenever I mentioned Detroit, they would gasp in horror, having heard a lot of negative things about said city. So I started changing my reply to "Michigan, not far from Chicago," which got the exact opposite response 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
