... is." Rockford and most of Northern IL is still one area code, so people there generally don't use area codes in everyday speech, it's all 7-digit phone numbers.

... U-per family gasping right now* When I was old enough to really express an interest in following football was about the time that I really got to know my UP Michigan kinfolk. Wanna talk about diehard Cheeseheads??? They're the epitomy, let me tell ya! So they "schooled" me about football and that, of course, meant that I had to be a Packer fan. *wink* But let's face it, I got in ...

... , it started when troops there started decorating their camp in Packers colors. Heh. I wonder how you say Ted Thompson is a big fat arrogant idiot in Arabic. And I wonder how the Cheeseheads respond; it’s not like there is much they can say back to the creative and pesky detainees in light of the ass whuppin Favre and the Vikes have laid on them twice. Even on the hallowed Frozen Tundra ...

... team that beat Iowa". It is the battle of a cool, hip college town versus a college town that used to be dry. It is the battle of liberal versus conservative. It is the battle of Cheeseheads versus Flatlanders (FIBs or FISHs). It is a battle between Bucky Badger and Willie the Wildcat It is a battle that Bucky will win. It is a battle in which the University of Wisconsin Badgers will ...

... save half a trillion to a trillion dollars or two, nor is there the opportunity to buy health insurance across state lines. As he suggests, the solution for no oranges being grown in Wisconsin in winter (or any other time outside of a greenhouse) is not to set up a public option for growing oranges (an expensive public greenhouse?), but to allow cheeseheads to buy oranges across state lines.

First came the television, a must have staple for all serious football fans. Then came the remote control, a magical device that allowed everyone from Cheeseheads to the Raider Nation to control their equally magical television without wasting precious body fat. Then God bestowed upon his people the buffalo wing, a sports viewing achievement no one thought could be topped. That was until Dec ...

The Pack performed amazing defense, the crowd was an eruption of joyous and boisterous cheers, the air was crisp as an ice box, and the cheeseheads were out in full bloom.
