    I'm not sure how they'll handle it. I do know that someone is trying to redo the song

      As someone who recently moved to Detroit, still fresh enough to be an outsider, I have to say that it is VERY ironic that most of the roads around the "Motor City" are murder on cars.

        I live in Buffalo. Guess what, it snows, it's cold and the bars are open till 4am. That means put some clothes on dammit!

        Niagara Falls, it's water falling over a cliff. I don't always want to take you there, maybe I want to take you to the places around here that are a bit more interesting than just the touristy areas.

        Also, it's chicken wings! Just chicken wings. Not Buffalo wings or whatever.

        And finally, I'm not a native, I'm sorry I hurt your brains when I say soda instead of pop. Believe me, I do the same whenever I leave the "pop" area, I will call it pop in those areas. It's a subconscious thing I do.

          Ahhhhh, the great american pop v. soda debate. I never understood how rabid some people get if you use the wrong word for carbonated sweetened beverages. And I have been jumped on for it, oh yes. "Soda? What's a soda? Ohhhhhh, you mean POP! Cause that's what WE call it!"

            Which is funny cuz they all are wrong it's actually soda pop. So calling it soda or pop is just a preference for which part of the name you don't say.

              True, Jackfaire. But try telling THEM that. I have, and they just look at you blankly for a minute and them continue the argument. "Well, 'round here, it's POP!"

              What's funny is, in some places, it's not either. I was always amused in New Orleans when people would come to my McDonald's and ask for a "cold drink', for example.

                Well, how else could GM continue to sell their vehicles if they weren't?
