Did you guys clear out the dog whistle store or are you making your own these days?

The word "ex-stabaganza" comes to mind.

I'm sure he's sitting back laughing about this felling high and mighty with his latest girlfriend. He's probably cheating on her while she thinks she's got the prize...

Both of these women sound like loving, caring, and nurturing life-partner material. Could I please have their phone numbers?

OK, seriously, there should be laws against planting earworms like that.

This situation only makes sense if the man was Ryan Reynolds or such.

"... the Ypsilanti Township woman pulled out a knife and stabbed the Ann Arbor woman ..." Words of advice: When travelling east the brick road fades quickly from yellow at about US23.

What was your point? I seemed to have missed it. Also, you must not know what the Washtenaw county road commision is, eh?

Why do Pittsfield, Scio and Ypsi expect a2 to fix the potholes leading into their towns?

That's funny, I live less than a mile east from U.S 23 and I have yet to see the yellow brick road coming from or to Ann Arbor. In fact as I travel into Ann Arbor the road is the same color it just has more potholes.

Sounds like a Detroit City Council Meeting during the Monica Conyers years. I think it is reasonable to blame lead and other toxic metal poisoning for this behavior.

I'm curious. How does two women fighting over a guy in Ypsi remind you of Monica Conyers' Detroit City Council antics with (against) DeDan Milton, Ken Cockerel and others?

I've never understood people's reasoning on something like this. "Hey, I seriously hurt my rival for your affections. Now we can live happily ever after."?? How do they think that's going to work for them?

Probably because he watches TV, see's the "music" video's, and hears the excuse for music. You cannot seriously believe that segments of today's culture are NOT glorifying misogyny, violence and anti-social behavior

Someone doesn't understand the reality that this guy gets to choose who his girlfriend is, isn't locked into someones grasp. Boyfriend, not even engaged. Get angry, stab someone - perhaps a good reason someone is an ex.

I think a nice, in depth interview with the ex boyfriend would be a fascinating read. I encourage Ann Arbor.com to reach out to the gentleman.
