Go back through the New York lesson, but, read only the translations while pinching your nostrils shut. Thus achieving our unique nasally tone caused by too much winter and deveated septums.

If you get all of Long Island to pinch their nostrils while talking we can declare it part of Michigan and annex it. Of course we would have to connect it to the mainland because we only have peninsulas here!

yikes Don't connect us to the mainland! What we do on lovely summer days if we couldn't spend hours and hours waiting to drive over the bridges?

And if you pinched shut the nostrils of Long Islanders, we'd all drop from asphyxiation. We don't shut up long enough to take a breath ... winkeye

Wow! Bonus points for using asphyxiation. You wouldn't make it here in Michigan after all (too smart for us). We would have said "cannd bread wid my node plugged" winkeye

Though you might fill all your extra time, from not waiting on bridges, by swatting at the gazillion mosquittos. bigeyes It's our state pastime. (Maybe I should write a better Guide entry for Michigan, the existing one is lame).
