Actually the bumper stickers said Escape TO Wisconsin... and they took

You're right!  It was TO, not FROM.  I've seen it so many millions of • times,
I didn't even notice.

Wow.  I figured people had noticed the deliberate mis-write, and ignored
it.  That troll had some serious hang-time.


I ignored it, having seen it enough--usually from east or west coasters who
couldn't place Wisconsin on a map to save their lives, and who have no idea
if it is a good place to live or not.  You know, the people who are amazed I
don't have a half-Canadian accent after living there for 17 years ("oh,
you're from WisCANsin...how come you don't talk funny?").

I've lived in both IL and WI and I prefer WI once you get away from
Mad-town.

And if you don't like it you can take off, eh.

(...) Wow, if I lived in Wisconsin, I don't think there's any place I would prefer to live *but* in Madison. --Todd (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
