That's OK, the Eastern US is so different from the Western US that they may as well be two different countries.

Boise Utah you say? Or was it Reno California?

What's the goddamn difference? Idaho, Utah, it's all Mormon hell to me.

Georgia's in Florida.

Dumbass.

Sapper_Topo:Boise Utah you say? Or was it Reno California?

It was Carson City, Arizona.

To a Jew from NYC, everything west of the Hudson River is the same thing

It is so funny when high profile east coasters decide to visit us in the flyover states. Hours and hours of amusement.

Happy naked day !!!

All women get naked and celebrate.

One of those western states starting with a vowel. Same difference.

Somebody should give him a map. Because some people out there don't have maps. And it would really help all the US Americans and the Iraq if we could give them more maps, to end world hunger. Or something.

good god, hatin' on jews, hatin' on mormons, good thing I'm a mormon-married jew from Phoenix, Colorado!

At least you can understand Bloomberg. Mayor Tom "Mumbles" Menino can barely be understood, and when he can be understood, well you can listen for yourself.

I came for the New Yorker map.

I leave without disappointment

Just the south side of Idaho. Get any further north than the 44th and the Mormons per capita number declines quickly.

Oh, right.

sometimes I like to masturbate large words into sentences, even if I don't know what they mean.

Man, subby, you're easily amused.

You can buy wine in the grocery stores in Idaho.

You have to buy it at the state liquor stores in Utah.

That's the only difference that matters.

Actually, it's Boise, Utah.

Idaho is an interesting state. The reason for the Panhandle was the Mormons realized that they were locked in with Utah. When Idaho became a state they wanted to be certain there was a route to Canada.

And yes, I know Idaho became a state first.

Use to live in the panhadle. A popular bumper sticker was "Keep Salt Lake City out of North Idaho.

/If Idaho were laid flat, meaning all mountains pushed down and all lakes and valleys risen up, it is the largest state.
//Idaho and Utah were the 2nd and 3rd states to allow women to vote
///The Navy tests sub sonar on Lake d'Oreille

Also how hard is it to confuse Salt Lake, which is nearly surrounded by a huge salty lake, with Sun Valley, whose biggest lake is located on the Elkhorn golf course.

I can't buy wine in grocery stores in MA, so I stand grossly corrected. Who knew that Idaho was more civilized than even my own home state?

Um, yeah - that thing about Lincoln? Pretty much a myth. Dirt, logs, rocks and sticks? He didn't attend regular schooling, but he did read a great deal and did have access to pen and paper.

studebaker hoch:That's OK, the Eastern US is so different from the Western US that they may as well be two different countries.

I did a lot of business travel for a couple of years (2003-2005). I was amazed at how homogenized America has truly become. Same chains, same malls, same restaurants, same TV, same radio, same newspapers, same clothing. Same everything! Regional differences are becoming less noticeable with every passing day.

I really expected to see God fearing, Bible thumping, rednecks, and I just really didn't see much.

It seems to me that the professed political power these religious fundamentalists is a chimera. I am not saying that they don't have political power, they do, but it is not a fact of numbers, but heavy participation by a motivated minority.

In all fairness, one's known for potatoes, the other for mormons...it's hard to tell the difference.

Is it Sun Valley's high school that graduates more than 6 people this year? (with no dropouts, it's just that small, if I remember correctly.)

HeadLever:Also how hard is it to confuse Salt Lake, which is nearly surrounded by a huge salty lake, with Sun Valley, whose biggest lake is located on the Elkhorn golf course.

I think it's pretty obvious that he just misspoke. I don't think he's actually so dumb that he was like "oh, I'm in Salt Lake City, hey why is everything so far away when I look in these binoculars!"

Relax, I know this guy. I was exaggerating his rustic self-educated roots.

I start noticing a serious difference around Louisiana, and from there, it seems to get more and more European-influenced as I go east.

NYC seems to be as much a European city as a US one.

HeadLever:moops:What's the goddamn difference? Idaho, Utah, it's all Mormon hell to me.

Yeah, they don't want to share the north with all the white supremacists.

This. I remember once talking to an upper class Bostonian I met during a trip to Vegas, and he was under the impression that the majority of males who live in the western US (not west coast, I'm talking places like Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Texas, etc) wear cowboy hats and six-shooters on their hips. And he was serious.

I lol'd.

How can even you expect somebody from New York New York to remembercity AND stae names?

When the Feds finish fencing out the Mexicans they should fence in the New Yorkers.

studebaker hoch:NYC seems to be as much a European city as a US one.

Im no fan of NYC but theres no call to bad mouth them like that.

Personally, I believe in fencing out the illiterate.

Typical New Yorker. They don't give a shiat about anyone or anything else besides themselves. Completely self-absorbed, self-important, selfish assholes. This doesn't apply to all of them obviously, but this is by no means unique to him.

Almost got arrested because I was trying to buy beer in New York and I pointed out to the moran clerk that the abbreviation for Idaho was ID, not IA.
