1. Hey Underpants, you're usually such a cool dude.

What's up with your Philly hatred these last few days? It's all in fun, right? You seem so angry about this and I don't get it. :shrug:

[BurtWorm]

2. He's got Phobadelphia, mebbe?

:shrug:

[underpants]

3. Just one of us stupid Southerners trying to figure how to tell Nuthenuhs

apart.

Yeah I am just kidding. I still have never understood why making a sandwich in Philly makes it any different than making the same sandwich somewhere else-that is where this stems from. Oh well.

[Phillycat]

4. Hmm.

Isn't there something in Virginia that you guys are irrationally proud of? Like, something that someone from another region would be like, "So?" But you just have such a soft spot in your heart about it...

[Zuni]

5. ask him about their baked hams....

[underpants]

Give a guy a chance

Oh I forgot...CIGARETTES and ALUMINUM FOIL!!!!!

[Cooley Hurd]

16. Aluminum foil... can't make a carrot pot pipe without it!

Thanks, Virginia! :smoke:

[Cooley Hurd]

18. Aluminum foil... can't make a carrot pot pipe without it!

Thanks, Virginia! :hi: :smoke:

6. Just the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence

That pretty much covers it....ooh and the seafood and the hams and the peanuts and let's see what else is there.......

Actually I am really FROM Ohio......uh......do you like teams that go 10-1 and play in the Holiday Bowl (ever so close to the Rose Bowl in many ways)???? Luckily Ohioans don't have to worry about that anymore now they (we) can be oh so proud of electing W.

[Phillycat]

7. Wait, I'm confused.

Didn't we do the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution here? I might be wrong...

[underpants]

8. Written by Virginians

Actually the Southerners demanded the Bill of Rights. The more Federalist Northeners were all that interested in it....but hey they got to keep their slavery (which the Virginians were willing to do without).

Oh this thread is headed downhill fast.

[Phillycat]

10. Why? I'm not going to argue, are you?

[underpants]

14. NO

I'm not

[Zuni]

9. The Declaration was signed in Philly

even though it was mostly written by a Virginian, as was the Constitution (Jefferson and Madison, repectively)

BTW---the seafood in Virginia wishes it was the seafood in Maryland

[underpants]

13. OH the Philly sandwich thing applies to Marylanders and their crabs

Uh we have crabs too you know. From the same Bay you know.

:eyes:

[Zuni]

19. Industrial runoff from bethlehem steel adds flavor

to crabs from the upper bay :crazy:

Just kidding

[underpants]

24. Ha!

Are you srue it isn't all the bird shit in Baltimore?

I lived there for a year and I have never washed my car so many times TOTAL in the rest of my life as I did that year.

[JimmyJazz]

25. Ew - you have crabs??? Have you been hanging out with

Short Bus President?

[Cooley Hurd]

21. Aluminum foil... can't make a carrot pot pipe without it!

Thanks, Virginia! :hi: :smoke:

P.S. this is a reply to the post above this one, since I can't reply directly to it because of some sort of glitch...

[underpants]

23. It is doing that to every post

Sucks you have to go Back and then out to the Lounge and then back into a thread.

[Cheswick2.0]

11. well it's the fact that it is made in Philly that makes it better

Of course. :7

[underpants]

17. Cheswick!

:hi:

[Cheswick2.0]

20. Hi Underpants

Where are your flying underpants? We miss them! :hi:

[UdoKier]

12. The South.

Talk too slow, garble everything. Can't understand a thing they're saying.

[underpants]

Wha....I have....NEVAH!

In allmadays

Point taken-Ever heard an Ohio accent raised in Virginia with touches of West Virginia in it :hi:

[Phillycat]

15. Oh, crap.

Well, you started it, UP. Locksville, here we come. I don't understand the overgeneralizations! Hasn't everyone met someone nice from all the regions? How can you overgeneralize like that when you know someone personally? It's so dumb...

[UdoKier]

22. Liking somebody and understanding them are 2 different things.

I love James Carville. Don't always understand him.
Love Molly Ivins, understand her better because my family is all from Texas.

Lots of great people in the south, but some of the accents down there are thick as a Looziana swamp.

I find standard colloquial American English easiest to understand.

And that's what we speak on the west coast!

26. I thought it was slack jawed mouth breathers?

Am I Wrong?
