Funny thing happened up NorthKRLO says (24 Jul '11)
We just got back from our vacation Up North.I wore my KR tshirt from one of the PK shows that says on the back at the bottom DETROIT F**KING ROCKS. Just wanted to get some beer before we went on the pontoon, but I got some really dirty looks from parents and grandparents and locals, pretty much everyone. When I got back to the cottage my hubby said, 'You didn't wear THAT into town did you?' I did, I forgot that was on there. apparantly 52 year old women w/ that kind of language on their t-shirt is frowned upon, as it should be. But it did make me chuckle.

@KRLO your story reminds me that I had my car worked on last wek, and I forgot I had Cadillac Pussy playing on the system...the mechanics musta heard it cus it was on when I picked up the car--lol!!
@RSMS, I know what you mean, I run into lots of ppl in my hometown (not where I live now, but closer to where Bob is now) who have worked for Bob (contracting home stuff) and they all say what a nice guy he is.
@Diana, I love Ludington also..we don't get there as much now--my favorite part about it are the large numbers of swans on Hamlin lake--so neat!!
Just got back from Up North, and took a picture of the Kid billboard in Cheboygen. I'll have to have one of my youngins post it for me on here since I'm clueless. Anyway, pulled over along I-75 to take the picture. There was hardly any shoulder and cars were whizzing by--actually shook my van as they passed. Later in the day, got stung by nasty wasps. Man, did that hurt. Slept with an icepack on my hand. At Mackinaw City, saw a black t-shirt with the letters WTF in white. Underneath, it read in tiny letters, "Where's the fudge?" Hilarous!
I enjoyed the story. I spend a week up in Evart the same week you were up North. Also took in Ludington (I think I may retire there someday:) I met some really nice people "up North" (hell, most of Michigan is "up North" from our house in Southeast Michigan) Some people are just sticks in the mud, but I must say, there is no way I could go out with a "F-ing" saying on my t-shirt. I think my husband would have a heart attack! LOL.
I met one of Bob's neighbors at a restaurant Up North (Onaway). Anyway, I was wearing a kid t-shirt and he was an older gentlemen (knew he wasn't b.s.ing me) and we talked for a good 15 minutes. My husband was like you are always meeting the most interesting people (cuz I'm obviously a talker) and he's so quiet. Anyway, the man spoke so kindly about Bob and just beamed when I listened. Another time I was in Ponderosa in West Branch and was talking to a waitress and she had a story to tell. Again, hubby rolling his eyes cuz he knew we wouldn't be leaving for awhile. He ended up winning a whole bunch of stuff from the claw machine (killing time) as I chatted with her. LOL
clearing throat I will ADMIT to leaving my cruise towel behind when I went to wisconsin dells because of what it says about being on the boat MFer...buy my jewelry if they get that close to bitch ya out...your in reaching distance ;)..
if the kid was in ga they would be a hekll of lot of good thing do the wild thing on kid in the south or north hell any where for mr
lmao they probably wanted your shirt hee tee hee
great storey ohhh i miss bathing in the fresh water. used to wash my hair in the river, nowdays ya get a hell of a fine... ahhhhh the good ole days....
i luv the idea of a cottage on the river sounds great!
Mrs Cedar, I wish I didn't wear it to town, the locals put up w/ a lot during the summer, they shouldn't have to see that. My sister in law's husbands family have lived in Leelanau for years,
On another note, we were there on Sunday night/ Monday morning when that storm hit out of nowhere. So sad those people from Saginaw were killed during the Chicago/Mackinac race. We went into Leland the next day (didn't know about the tragedy) and saw a few of the damaged boats at the marina.
I apologize for the shitty people you encountered up here....that suks.... probably was people who only live here during the summer... because underneath all the tourism and beautiful water attraction... is a hard working, multi-generational farming community....and alot of polish drunks, but that is beside the point! LOL
.....I secretly yearn to buy a "You never met a m*ther f*cker quit like me" t-shirt... but I probably never will...for exactly the same reason you mentioned.... I'm a puss...i know....
Oops...spelling...bathing suit! knew it didn't look right.
Too funny. I could see how that would happen. Especially if you were just going for a beer run! Just pay no nevermind to those folks. Deep down they're just jealous thinkin "there's a girl who likes to have fun". And washing your hair in the lake is the best...so soft. Don't forget sticking the bar of soap in the baithing suit top so it doesn't float away!
Don't seem to matter where you are if you have the majick four letter F word ppl frown. Less it is a concert or bar. Those are the only places i haven't seen ppl frown over it. I just ignore it. I mean i say it enough myself so who am i to look @ anybody funny....Just ignore them. Those same ppl do shit themselves that isn't perfect themselves. I myself do try to wear potentially offensive shirts in areas they are better received though. I love my Johnny Cash flipping the bird shirt. And yes i wore it to my show. A place where i had ppl tell me they like it instead of giving me a dirty look....
lol... oops
Oh well.. ya never know. Those parents, grandparents, and locals could of just given ya a dirty look cuz they don't have a cool shirt like that.. in fact, they probably couldn't wait to get home so they can blast their 'Born Free' cds.. so it's all good ; )
@Cheryl, never have dressed to impress, but some sure did, I felt like a fish in a barrel when I went to the bathroom at the Bluebird, (a very casual restaurant) but a group of gals were dressed to the nines. I came in and peed, washed my hands with soap and water and left, all the while they were giving me the 'I am so much more richer than you are' stare. Felt like giving them a KR finger salute but didn't want to stoop to their level!
@RSMS, I remember that older thread, made me laugh. I also throw my suit on, splash sunscreen on, wash my hair in the lake w/ baby shampoo, and float forever w/ a beer in my hand, After all it's always happy hour somewhere!! We had a fantastic week.
They have probably never been down state. Oh well us older ladies really don't dress to impress when on casual vacation (up north in Michigan) They will get over it. Too funny.
Darn posts out of order again...
Dress to impress, hell, I am lucky if I match when I'm Up North. No makeup, throw on clothes, hair up, and head for the lake.
Ha ha ha KRLO. I mentioned it before in another thread but I gave my girlfriend in NC a Badass Beer t-shirt. She wore it to do some yard work and took an earful from her neighbors who told her it was quite offensive.
Another funny story: my brother in law had a t-shirt in college that had Andy on top of Raggedy Ann. My mother in law did his wash and she didn't notice the sexual innuendo until she had been washing it for about a year. We still laugh about it.
