The Professor

"Mass-north"
"Live Free or Die... So Die Already Because you can't Live here"
"Live somwhere else or die"
"The property tax state"
"Pickup Trucks Mandatory north of Concord"

'The property tax state' makes sense. My parents pay more tax on a small summer condo in NH that a big old house in Mass.

My town's population turns over by 50% every three years. I migrated here for love in 1995, so a few of us "Massholes" decide to stay.

But a whole lot of us don't.

Besides, it's all in fun.

And Georgia's is pretty good too!

someone beat me to it

Southern Utah,hate without snow.
