....it's rumored that you southerners are still mad about losing the Civil War. Battle Creek was an important part of the Underground Railroad as depicted by this statue erected near, you guessed, the W.K. Kellogg Residence (who commissioned the statue).
Coincidence??????
People of the west coast should also be aware of GreeCguy's agenda, as that region was the testing grounds (with high consumer demand reported) for Fruity Pebbles in 1969, two years prior to it's national debut in 1971. Pablo and The Critic, be prepared!!
So, you keep your thick skinned oranges and giant cock roaches! Leave Michigan alone.
I hope the annual winter onslaught of Michigan "Snow Birds" to Florida reeks havoc on your daily life, with their poor vision, ridiculus driving habits, and constant bowel problems.
This thread is getting entirely out of control. I'll have you know sir, that as a "Florida Cracker" born and raised here in the Sunshine state, I had a pet cockroach as a child. He was a loyal, intelligent companion who would entertain the family for hours with a host of tricks, (his best was playing dead). We loved "Scuttles" and dearly missed him after he chewed through his chain and slipped out of the house one night, never to be seen again.
You sir know nothing of citrus. Thick skinned oranges come from CALIFORNIA. We from Florida grow oranges with thin skins as they so obviously match our feelings about past election results. That was a low blow sir, a very low blow. I call for a recount of all the preservatives found in "Fruity Pebbles."
While we're on the subject, let's consider the wholesome goodness of Florida raised breakfast food - Oranges, orange juice, greatfruit and greatfruit juice, not to mention the literal tons of melons and berries which are colored naturally! Well we recognize your northern agression in trying to super impose your bowel binding concoction and rainbow rearend results over and above something that naturally flourishes in the good earth. Could it be this is the reason the only thing we see flying from our snow birds are the gnarled fists and fingers wrapped around steering wheels and can only hope they are connected to a live person behind the wheel?
And speaking of Northern Agression, WE DID NOT LOSE THE CIVIL WAR!!!! We're just taking a break for a while.
