We should have known that Wisconsonites were plotting something when they armed themselves.

Michigan is a hand (sorry if you live in that other part that everyone forgets about).
Wisconsin looks more like a clenched fist.
This suggests ad campaigns like "Virginia is for lovers, Maryland is for crabs" (possibly even more offensive).

We haven't forgotten, we just haven't reached a consensus abut what the UP looks like so we don't talk about it much. Personally I think its a copper dagger.

As a life-long Wisconsite, I gladly cede title of the “mitten state” to Michigan. Sorry, I can barely keep my eyes open regarding this so-called squabble.

Seems kind of odd that someone in Wisconsin would come up with that unless they’re trying to pull a fast one and go with the union fist logo that the lefties have been using there.

I’ll go with the one that looks like a mitten from the space station. No “lines on maps”.

Please freepmail me if you wish to be added or dropped from the mitten ping.
Cheesehead insanity! One wonders if Wisconsonites have ever actually seen a mitten.

Wisconsin as a mitten looks more like one that has been run over by a truck. I can imagine it as Santa Claus with his bag of toys reaching up to hang an ornament on a tree, perhaps. Especially if that map would include Washington Island. Don’t covet Michigan’s map, we’ve lost enough already!
