The state referenced in the OP. It's Thanksgiving week, which means The Game is on Saturday. I hate those bastards up north like an Arsenal fan hates the Hot Spurs.
I made the comment and I am wracking my brain for what I originally meant.
I think what happened is this: I, a left-handed person, incorrectly identified the Michigan mitten as being a left-handed mitten rather than a unisex (for hands), and then I mistakenly misidentified the actual hand itself as being a right hand.
With these two thunderously incorrect facts in hand, I made a joke that implies that 'of course a righty dominated world would be unable to even see how a left-handed mitten could be mitten shaped.'
Only it was a confusing joke because (a) a common feature of mittens is that they can fit on either hand and (b) the hand in the mitten was a left hand anyway.
At least I think that's what happened. I was pretty high then, and well, I'm pretty high now too.
when you include the upper peninsula Michigan looks like someone calling time-out ... while wearing mittens.
also I don't get all the talk of left or right handed. turn the same hand over to like at the back instead of the palm and the "wrong hand" would then fit?

What about all the land that looks like it should be part of Wisconsin?

I wouldn't push them.
If you anger them, they can will the Cheese Blockage aside, and go full auto.

We have the advantage for going full auto, we have motor city.

That was a brilliant trade by Michigan to get rid of Toledo and get something in exchange.

Real question is. Do you point to your palm or the back of your hand?

Bold move not putting the UP on this. If Wisconsin wasn't so wasted and full of cheese they might have done something about it.

Oven mitten. Though personally I think it's more of a crab claw
