Taking Lameness to a New Level
Mlive’s latest “find a job you love in the place you love” ad centers on the idea that leaving Michigan will upset your dog’s morning routine.

I’d sell the dog.

posted by ann arbor is overrated on March 2nd, 2004 at 5:34 pmThat’s very odd. A friend of mine just moved to Chapel Hill to work at UNC, and her dog has adjusted quite well so far. Won’t she be upset to learn it’s all been a lie?

It’s cat’s that’s overrated.

posted by ilya on March 2nd, 2004 at 7:14 pmNot only do dogs adapt, they have an amazing memory for the terrain. A friend once borrowed my dog, was walking her about 3 miles from my house, and accidentally let her loose–she found her way home through a dense urban area in no time, thank goodness.

I propose another meet up as I missed the first one. Any takers?
posted by Harriet on March 2nd, 2004 at 11:10 pmHow about: “Thinking of leaving Michigan? What about Vernor’s? Don’t you love Vernor’s?”
or
“Your car will never pass those emissions tests since your uncle Carl replaced your catelytic converter with straight pipe.”

That settles it, I’m going to MSU.

posted by Steven B. Cherry on March 4th, 2004 at 3:21 pmSteve–that straight-pipe bit is all too true. When my ex had muffler trouble our neighbor suggested taking the car to some fly-by-night joint to have a straight pipe installed–he said, “don’t worry about the Cadillac converter.” We could have used a Cadillac converter, though, to convert that cruddy old Honda wagon into some stylish wheels…ah well.
posted by sillyputty guy on March 4th, 2004 at 8:14 pmCar emissions in MI are a big joke. Once that baby leaves the factory you’re on you’re own!
I’ve removed every piece of EPA nonsense from my 20-year-old motorcycle with complete impuinity.
I’ve never heard of an emissions test in all my years of Michigan marginal motor-vechile operations.
Imagine all those 1981 Suburbans running near open headers up north. There’s just no fucking way. I mean where do you start?
posted by Steven B. Cherry on March 5th, 2004 at 12:24 amThe state used to require tailpipe emissions testing in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, but the program ended in 1995, as most people complained about it. The program was not very effective, since cars over a certain age were exempt. Older cars, of course, pollute the most.
