Michigan State Quarter Recall:
The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling the new Michigan quarters.

"We are recalling all of the new Michigan quarters that were recently issued". Treasury Undersecretary Russell Shackelford said in a press conference Monday. "This comes in the wake of numerous reports to
this agency that the quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices. We
believe the problem lies in a design flaw," said Skackelford.

The winning design for the Michigan quarter was submitted by a Yooper named William Doutrieux, a student attending Northern Michigan University.

"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

Got to love those UP'ers (One who lives in the Upper #&%!$ula of Michigan- the UP!)

Ha! I did most of my surveying labs inside a building, since there was way too much snow on the ground in the spring. Quite an interesting way to learn.

I would absolutely LOVE to be a Yooper. Yoopers don't toot their own horns much cause they want to keep the trolls under the bridge and don't want people movin' in. LOL!

“What’s this on my mitten,”
said the Troll from down below?
“Is it a picker,
or a piece of dirty snow?”
“I think I’ll just brush it off
and throw it in the lake
and sit down below the bridge
and eat my birthday cake.”

That would be me that said that but I was using my Girls acct.I just don't like Hoist Lakes thats all.

There are tons of places that I have backpacked in Michigan that are in my top 10.

Remember they are just words.

I hope I did not say anything wrong????

Lots of poeople don't like the things that I talk about and then go and tell other people about it before they ever meet me.

Oh well I don't care what people think of me.

I think it's a matter of hiking styles on the Hoist Lake thing. Everyone knows Mike likes to lay down the miles and it's not really a high milage place. It is however a great place to hike in, set up base camp, swin, fish, day hike, leeeeeelax!

Iz all good in da hood!

Let me clear here. I really don't give two rats asses about getting into a pissing match with anyone about this. I was asking because on another thread (or maybe it was this one) someone using yer girlfriends login said Michigan Sucks. Welp, then this comes along. That's why I asked if we were getting backhanded here. Me thinks the point was made, so to go any further is to try and start somethin'. It's one thing to poke fun and make jokes, but to me it didn't seem that way. If it's all in fun, so be it and whatnever. If not, the gloves come off. Capchee?
