    I wanna live someplace where it's cold in the winter, rains bullets and thunders all the time in the spring, is 8000 degrees in the summer, and smells like burnt pine in the fall.

    Oh, my Texas. :(

    Well... yeah, Texas is getting pretty cold during the Winter. :D :eek:

    We got a quarter inch of snow here where I live, this Winter... if that much. :D And I couldn't tell you if it smelled like burnt pine, as we're always burning our fireplace if it's under sixty or fifty degrees, so it's smelled like black walnut, maple, and oak in here, all Winter. I'd find it quite difficult to live without some kind of wood burning unit, even if I lived at a beach, unless it were Florida or somewhere. Fireplaces just don't belong in Florida.

    Virginia pines are odd and piss me off... sometimes :D.

    You pretty much described Alberta to a T.

    It was way more problems of its own tho.

    I'm sick of all the rain we've been getting. Rain and snow.

    We had two good days where it was like 54 and sunny, and then I wake up to snow this morning... I mean goddamn...


    I want to live somewhere that is 8000 degrees in the summer too... and at least 60 degrees in winter.

    Not tekzuss though... I could fare well on the Atlantic/parts of the Gulf, I think... :D

    I love it when we get a bunch of rain here. A lotta the times we'll get just a week of rain at a time, especially in late spring/early summer. Sucks when its over though, its jsut as humid as a rainforest. In fact sometimes when I take walks down by the creek after its rained and all the leaves and foilage are shiny and wet it looks really similar to the jungle....except the whole aspect of Kudzoooooo[​IMG]

    Meg, you need'a git down South! :D Actually, I think you should avoid it, because the South is depressing... but if you want to experience the Kudzu, then yes, head South. It's like this fucking vine that grows all over the trees and such--it's really not that impressive. :rolleyes:

    How is depressing? :D

    Unfortunately, I find Philly/Baltimore to be more depressing. Those are not in the South and I have never been North of Philly, in the US, before. You've either been stuck in St. Louis or East/West of Atlanta's Southside or in the perimeter... or possibly Alabama or something.

    I actually think West Virginia would probably be the most depressing situation, unless you were just driving around for a day in the mountains. Don't let Billy Jo Bob Danny Frank McCrackahan get you--he'll sell you meth and knock up your pygmy goats.

    Well DERR, I need to get to the South. :D Everyone knows I have a pseudo-healthy obsession with it...

    George learned me all about that Kudzu last night :D I want Kudzu. I can probably get Alex(as in Fractual) to ship me some, even though it's illegal. :D He sent me other plant clippings a year ago and they're thriving now.

    Well how about New England or more specifically New Hampshire.

    It's snowing like crazy today with predictions of up to 10 inches locally, The old expressing "April showers, bring may flowers" was started here in New England. It's gets pretty hot and humid during the summer, and you can always burn leaves after the annual fall foliage extravaganza :)

    New England makes me shudder.




    And snow in March, unless I was back in Alaska, to me, would just be ridiculous.

    Well New England does seem to fit the criteria set by ConeyIslandOfTheMind [​IMG]

    But if you want to live down south with the critters, eating black-eyed peas, with lynyrd skynyrd in Nascar heaven - that's your right.

    It's not like there aren't speedways up there.



    But I'd rather be here where I already am (along with the rest of New England or retired military that seems to wish to move down here and take over our schools and local government, then bring their developers in) than live with a bunch of people who are so arrogant, they don't know how to laugh at themselves and would rather live an elite stereotype.

    That wouldn't make me a nascar-loving redneck, it merely makes me down to earth.

    And I prefer The Allman Brothers, despite Ronnie Van Zandt being a well written songwriter. Lynyrd Skynyrd embodies what ruined music from the South... but I still like them a hell of alot, as musicians, and I like their music. Ricky Medlocke (Blackfoot) has done alot for them. That doesn't mean I don't like Boston or Phish or Ray Lamontagne or something, just because of where they're from, but if you feel like thinking that way or trying to make it hurt like you did 150 years ago, be my guest as well.

    But you can't say it didn't take ten years for your government to even consider paying for the reconstruction of Fredericksburg or anywhere else down here for that matter (well, from the looks of things y'all are still pretty clueless and ignorant/inconsiderate of that). By the way, Fredericksburg only recieved $50,000 in restitution for reconstruction, as we seceeded and you invaded, yet y'all seem to have the notion that there were no economics and just civil rights involved. Please, look at today's warfare. Times haven't changed... and that's just one of the cities we decided to rebuild for the nation's benefit, as we had no other choice. Don't even get me started on Vicksburg or especially Alabama, as they only had that bit of coastline and Mobile Bay, so all in all, the efforts put your union's foot in it's mouth and slowed down the growth process, so we were never able to industrialize and conglomerate to your extent. Don't blame us for how we are... it's called interest--both conflicts of and special interest, as well as Southern fears of Republican control. I had family that served both on the Monitor and the Merrimack, as well as the defenses in Saltville, Virginia, so it divided my family amongst each other.

    :rolleyes: Of coursssssse your armies didn't treat slaves (as well as my Seminole/Cherokee Nation ancestors that chose to shelter slaves in Florida) and the jewish/cuban CSA troops like total shit either :rolleyes: because y'all choose to fabricate our own realities in place of taking the time to actually piece it together for yourselves.

    But you don't learn that from a textbook because you have school districts buying each other and publishers out of it and trying not to piss off certain ethnicities and regions and it just ends up being a eurocentric and puritanical mess and a piece of complete watered down garbage, just like how the film Pocahontas says that there is a waterfall in Jamestown, Virginia. Which ass did they have to pull that out of... Roy Edward Disney's?

    I guess times don't change and history repeats itself after all. (Look at New Orleans)

    It's like it's one of those things you're not allowed to talk about or something. Frankly, my dear, I feel it's a load of horseshit and I sure hope General Sherman forgave himself. Being a Primative Baptist Universalist, I don't believe in a literal Hell, but... you know, if there is one...
