    Midwesterners?

    to boring to have a nick name!
    bwuahahahahaha

    Actually we all know what Cow tipping is (or at least know it is a stupid thing that Midwesterners do).

    My friend has a story of an uncle that went cow tipping at night, when drunk (do you do it any other way?)

    Ended up trying to tip a bull, failing, and getting chased off the patch by the now awake, and enraged, bull.

    Nice try, no cigar. Wrinkled up old ladies are your bag? Head over to the "gold coast"

    As for the rest of the state, babes galore... all nicely tanned and most finely shaped.

    Seems the lot of you are relatively ignorant about the benefits of living in Florida. I moved down here 30 years ago and never looked back. Ever.

    Yeah, eat your hearts out.... ... .. .

    HAHAHAHA well played.

    If you are going to florida, stay the ***** away from clearwater. That town is <i>owned</i> by scientologists. It's like the *****ing pod people.

    Port Richey all the way down to Naples is the gold coast (close enough if it's not). That's over 150 miles of coastline inundated with the proverbial "retiree". Clearwater included.

    The east coast though is entirely different, younger... hipper... all that stuff.


    Ya'll will be old one day - I on the other hand will never be. Chronologically challenged, but never old. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    whilst reading insane;s above link i found that uber w/e's quote of

    'seriously, nigh every comment you bother to post serves only to belittle someone or something and to support your own self-styled sense of superiority.'

    I cant help but see some irony in that statement, amirite?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    well jeez, you should notice that I'm probably just acting-out in an expression of my own deeply felt insecurities and pity me thusly.

    that's how you deal with trolls. With the aid of firsthand experience and an EXTENSIVE (TRUST ME!-.-) understanding of British nomenclature I will spell it out in a soliloquy: "<i>the yob doesn't know how to socialize so he harasses people anonymously on the internets to vent his frustrated and malnourished human need for communication and companionship</i>."

    - I just taught you how to fish. Please retain this, keep this knowledge in mind and you will rest a well-fed man in the aftermath of any forum troll flamewar, no longer needing the salmony sustenance to be <i>fed</i> to you by random well-wishing troll-bashers, as was the case here.

    moultano, don't you think it would be fun to see that? Just go around and observe, think of it like being at a zoo or a freakshow without the glass casing or guide rails.

    Many journalists and worldly academics would (and do) ravenously jump at the opportunity to visit North Korea. Why? Same concept. Boy would I LOVE to <b>observe</b> a gaggle of scientologists amongst their kin, flourishing in their natural habitat, unencumbered by the need for furtive proselytization-blatant, confident to bare their all and display their true nature.

    Albany, N.Y. is like 25 - 30 miles north of Hudson where I hailed from. There's lots to do in the Albany/Schenectady/Troy area. We used to 'cruise' up and down Central Ave. there all the time.

    Welcome to NY! (even if it is the sucky part known as "Not NYC" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)

    Glad to know you managed to get here. Good luck with everything.

    Cool, you're just a few hours from where I'm located, outside of Rochester.

    Never really done more than pass through Albany, but I hear it's not a bad city.

    Welcome to the U.S.! As for American Football, the Bills(Upstates NFL team) have been a bit of an underdog for the past decade, but they have loyal fans.

    gov't job ftl, I've worked for the state. I felt like I was among the few that actually tried to get things done. Course I actually had an interesting job with a lot of design control. In any case, trying to get things done where I wasn't directly responsible was like pulling teeth out a dog that was actively trying to bite you.
