22. You sound like a Chicagoan. In fact, you sound like our asshole governor.
Who refuses to live IN THE STATE CAPITAL. We downstaters would be fine with moving the effin' capital to Chicago, if they'd stop making us pay taxes. Until then, we'd like to be treated like citizens.

26. That pisses me off to no end.
Our dumbass, corrupt governor has tried to explain that away...he doesn't want to uproot his family, blah blah blah. All I know is that our state taxes are used to upkeep the governor's mansion...and it sits, largely vacant. He was elected governor...he should live in Springfield. Period.

how reasonable it is for the governor to choose not to live in "Southern Illinois". Thanks for being a ray of light! :hi:

And since I already explained Maryland's flaws, I will point out Laurel's flaws.

Laurel doesn't know if it is part of the Baltimore or Washington metropolitian area. Pick a side already.

Actually, I'd say Laurel is a part of Washington Metro, even though it's dead smack in the middle of the two cities. The two D.C. papers mention Laurel from time to time and provide Laurel movie listings. The Baltimore Sun acts as if Laurel were somewhere in New Mexico and ignores it entirely.

By the way, how do you know Laurel so well? Did you live close when you were up here?

I actually just edited my post to reflect that I noticed that at the last second, but you were lightning-fast with the response. I scanned the list of states and missed Maryland, which is why I asked for both states, but when you said you got Maryland already I went back and saw it. Then I raced to edit, but you were faster. Mea culpa and thanks for the succinct 411 on Murland.

78. Uh yeah...I've been to Florida.
Hartford is Beverly Hills compared to Tallahassee or Pensacola or for that matter Jacksonville.

Actually, I used to live in Hartford, it's a pretty nice place. I think you meant Waterbury...a city where corruption is the natural state of order and nearly 1,000 people came out for a rally supporting efforts to free the former Republican mayor...the one who went to prison for pedophilia, not either of the two who went to prison for taking bribes.

Which part of Oregon do you live in? Cause everyone here (being the west coast) pronounces it Ory-gun, and we take it upon ourselves to point and laugh at the people who somehow need to add an "e" in their pronounciation. IMO, I don't think there is anything more hilarious than people pronouncing it Oreh-gone.

97. Sore subject, man.
We did not lose our team it was stolen from us by jackass-headed Gary Bettman who refused to sign off on any proposal mutually agreeable to the team and the state because he didn't want a NHL team between Boston and NYC and by sleezebag Pete Karmanos who was only allowed to buy the team because he signed an agreement saying he could not move the team, an agreement he breached.

Much like if I bought the Dolphins under false pretenses and conspired with Roger Goodell to move them to LA.

* Out-of-state interests who have been allowed to rape the land and poison the people for more than 100 years?

* In a literal sense, the chemical plants in the Kanawha Valley and the poultry farms in the mountains.

People from Brooklyn are still convinced that the Los Angeles Dodgers are going to pack up and move back 50 years later. You're like the sad, pathetic ex-boyfriend who keeps sending his ex flowers on your former anniversary five years later.


The most scenic place of natural beauty in New Jersey is the Sunoco gas station at the Seacacus service plaza.

Montgomery County wishes it were part of Northern Virginia instead of Maryland. Because in their mind, tract housing and strip malls is something to be envied.

uninformed about WI, I will let it slide. Sheboygan is not a funny name by WI standards when we have such gems as...

Beetown
Dickeyville
Dykesville
Beaver
Gays Mills
Turtle
St. Nazianaz
Mukwonago

And my personal favorite, a little village called Slab City which has a tavern called "The Morgue"

Only the out-of-towners get the "high" because we have a little less air up here and they're not used to it. Plus, we got electricity last year, so the winter was actually tolerable this year. Also, I don't think grizzlies live here. Black bears do, but I've never seen one of those in person.

176. You'd like to think Hawaii is perfect, don't you? Fact is, Hawaii is a state of ingratitious a-holes
Why?

Because they make you travel so damn long and far just to visit their state.

After traveling 20 hours stuck between a screaming baby and a fat guy, you finally get to the island. And instead of wanting to see Waikiki, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, the North Shore or some other interesting attraction, all you want to do is sleep, presicious sleep.

Plus the fact that you have to pay out a ridiculous amount of money for airfare so you don't have the budget to see any of that stuff.

Yeah, Hawaii, I'm talking to you. Thanks a lot for nothing.

242. Actually....
Political corruption has been an epidemic nationwide, not just in Florida, from Lousiana to Chicago to New York's Tammany Hall.

Florida's warm climate gives it its unique tropical and subtropical plant life, and the mosquitos in the state are part of the food chain in its diverse wildlife.

Although the term "cracker" has unfortunately become something of a perjorative as of late, the hard working cattle drivers of the 19th Century known as Florida Crackers developed their own unique cuisine and brand of architecture.

Key deer are a unique part of the Southern Florida landscape.

As for Key Limes, all I can say is take the Florida Turnpike south to Exit 1 at Florida City, go south for 1/4 mile and turn right, and go on for about another 1 mile until you get to a stand called Robert is Here. After tasting a Key Lime milkshake, I guarantee you you'll never have a bad thing to say about a Florida lime ever again.

This public service announcement is brought to you by People who Live in Florida instead of your Crappy Little Pathetic State of which Florida is Infinitely Cooler:

234. South Carolina stinks because the people aren't ballsy enough to market their own BBQ sauce...

...so instead when I go to the grocery store, all I see is the generic brown Kraft krap in a bottle.

You guys have great a BBQ style, yet you are so insistent on keeping it all to yourself.

237. If you're talking about Maurice

yes, his bbq sauce is good. But he's a right-wing religious, racist nut who keeps KKK literature in the front of his restaurant. THAT'S what we don't want to export.

Hell, a lot of our own grocery stores refuse to carry it because of his politics.

238. Then buy a bunch of it, slap a label on it saying "China_cat's BBQ Delight" and sell it at profit!
Seriously! Stop hogging the hog sauce!
