Whoa did you nail it.
It is amazing to me how poor pup and Darlin can't handle one verbatim (cept for the Floriduh spelling) quote from a well known author. Was I the one who implied death, divorce and misery was somehow nicer than living in Floriduh?
Most of us, however, know what he was talking about..........
Hot. Flat. Ugly. Multitudinous bluehairs. Early bird specials. Etc. Etc.

Translations from the Michigander Language: Hot--Anything above frostbite. Flat--Lacking mountains of dirty snow that pile up in Michigan for 9 months out of the year. Ugly--Not possessing the beautiful qualities of Michigan's rusting factories and rotting tenements. Bluehairs--Those smart enough to have followed the crowd to Florida. Early bird specials--Food that is fresh, properly cooked and absent the pollution that turns Michigan's fish into alien lifeforms. Etc. Etc.--Sound a Michigander makes when his tongue begins to thaw ... if it ever does.
