That is cold, and have to ask, what is a Yooper? david
A hamlet in Alberta had that honor as well this winter. Where is 'global warming' when we need it? A yooper lives in the UP, upper peninsula, of Michigan on da nort side of da bridge. A troll lives 'below da bridge', (south side).

I thought I saw David around here the last Yooper night. ;D
Thanks for the explanation sawguy, I see it but wasn't sure what it was.
I've seen some yoopers! I've read of the yoopers, but was to embarrassed to ask til now, plus I have a very undiagnosed form of dyslexia, where tings get turned around verbally and oderwise, may have built too many molds? tings get reversed allot that way, and tanks for da explanation! and da rashing, I do like to laugh, plenty of medicine here on the forum :D david

I read the link and just realized that some of the older french people that came to this area kinda talked a diffeant way too. That is all long gone now. These older peole was in thier 50's-60's when I was 10 years old.
I remember long ago, winning some contest here on the forum, and my prize was a phone call from a yooper. Getting that call from Chet was one of the highlights of my forum experience. Ranks right up there with eating grits next to DanG, and hugging Tom, and a Furby. :)
Well, I've had a good laugh, three for the day eh? and I am now more educated than I was at noon, just another reason I do like this forum! sincere thanks, david

You hugged me once too. :-\ ;)
And Ive been considering retiring up in the UP. I dont mind epic snow falls, but prolonged sub zero weather does wear on me, but Im probably only 3-5 degrees on average warmer where I am at now. Its been cold all winter.
Jeff, don't feel bad , I bet Roxie doesn't remember hugging me either. We must not have made much of an impression on her. :(
You guys are so high on the list, you're understood! Jeff, remember the earrings? :D
Jeff what do they call you spending time both sides of the bridge? :)
A Trooper.
Maybe "Smart".
Once a Troll always a Troll :)
you gotta be born a yooper, and if you are not, hopefully one will make you his pet Troll. :)

Seems like a good time to insert the 'Yooper Creation Story'...
In da begginin' dere was nuttin'.
Den on da first day God created da U.P..
On da second day He created da partridge, da deer, da bear, da fish and da ducks.
On da third day He said "let dere be yoopers to roam da U.P.".
On da fourth day He created da udder world down below.
and on da fifth day He said "Let dere be Trolls to live in da world down below".
On da sixth day He created DA BRIDGE so da trolls would have a way to get to HEAVEN.
Den God looked down and saw it was all good,
and on da seventh day he went huntin'.
