let's make fun of the East Coast now that our folks out there have gone to bed
i'll start:

Everything on the East Coast is so close together, but it takes 3 hours to drive 100 miles. :banghead:

26. Our red dirt, suh, has many fine uses, as the old phrase "red dirt marijuana" might suggest

25. The east coast will happily take all of Utah.
The sheer physical beauty of the place would be an asset to the east. However you will have to take all the mormons.....we can give you Mitt romney in exchange for the territory.

23. You realize of course that you have excepted Kansas as a western state
Thanks cause we had no idea of how to get rid od the most boring state in the nation. $00 miles of corn, corn and still more corn. Thanks for taking it off our hands.Maybe you can make some ethanol there.

7. I personally had NOTHING to do with that!
:eyes:

but I hate driving on I-405 at night. How is it that me, going 75 mph gets passed by everyone else doing 100. And where the hell is the CHP when that is going on?

14. Driving in SoCal is a harrowing experience
People down there believe that any open space on the freeway needs to be eliminated ASAP.

People down there tailgate, not only at 10 mph, but at 75mph. That crap is scary!

21. No kidding.
One of my friends from Minnesota came to visit me for a week last year. She complained about how aggressive I was driving. After being here a week she told me later that she now understood why I have started to drive so aggressively. If one does not drive aggressively, one does not get very far.

6. That's not making fun of the east coast.
That's a legitimate complaint. :shrug:

Of course, if you're in or near Lost Angeles then you've got no room to complain. :P

Yes, I'm very upstate. I love the woods and swamps and farms and trails. I miss all the green, and the apple orchards, and the fresh corn, and salt potatoes. :9
