So, so funny!!!

I'm not sure why I liked this one from the second page so well...

"The Cottage": Many folks in Michigan have a place they go to Up North that they call The Cottage. Sometimes it'* a slowing disintegrating cabin in the middle of frickin' B.F.E., where you go to get drunk and THEN shoot at deer. Other times, it'* a Lake Michigan beach house that sleeps 22 and has its own marina. Ya jes never know.

So many accents... Sometimes it seems like everybody has a language of their own.

I know one they missed that I say a lot myself, and hear a lot as well.

Fur instead of "for". "we're goin fur some icecream later taniight."
tanight instead of "tonight."
