A somewhat unflattering map depicting the regions of Michigan from Steve on a Plane. Walmart Fans for Ann Arbor, Gangsters for Detroit? What about "Yuppie Former Hippies" for Ann Arbor?
The mapmaker is clearly a Spartan of a certain ilk. They have this insane belief that all the Michigan football fans are "WalMart Wolverines" -- that is, they buy cheap fan garb to associate themselves with something they feel is successful and will thereby raise their trailer trash status. I know, tortured "logic" but there it is. Check out the Red Cedar Message Board for more of this sort of "thinking."
i thought it was quite puzzling considering that ann arbor doesn't have any walmart stores...one arrived in ypsi maybe 10 years ago..also i think they built one in saline recently?
i guess it works better alliteration-wise than 'meijers wolverines'
Does this mean we Damn Arborites are Walmart Fanz?
ReplyDeleteIs this person actually from Michigan or did he just pick up a book or something?
