I've lived in Florida most of my life, and people say Florida is weird, but whatever, it seems pretty normal to me.

But Pennsylvania? My mom used to live there and I'd visit a lot. That place isn't even like America. There's no beer in the stores and there's Amish people. And miners. WTF
 
2011-12-28 12:52:02 PM
PA is the buffer zone between the east and the midwest...which is saying a lot really.

Confabulat: I've lived in Florida most of my life, and people say Florida is weird, but whatever, it seems pretty normal to me.

Florida gets a bad rap. It's mostly north Florida where the red necks are and Miami where all the weird shiat happens. Occasionally here in Tampa but I've been to a lot worse places.

Nothing worse than non beefy beef in a taco. Thanks alot Taco Bell.

All most heaven, north Florida. I love it. Much better than Cleveland, OH.

Yeah, that buttcrack Eli Avila went out and had a Badge Made with the official state seal on it, before his boss, the governor, told him to get rid of it.

If I went out and did that, I'd be behind bars, in GITMO.

Living in the Northeast, I truly value being so close to PA.

Great forests, hiking and fishing. Beautiful camping. Lower sales taxes on clothing. Fireworks stores.

And any time things get too dull around here, I can get a dose of epic-level weirdness less than an hour away.

Good old Pennsylvania.

It's the Florida tag of the North.

Umm. Isn't there a glaring omission from this list?

Moved East?

What percentage of beef is needed to call a product "beef"? That just seems disingenuous to call anything but 100% beef, "beef." Maybe I'm living in a dreamworld.

Bagelox-99: PA is the buffer zone between the east
the south and the midwest...which is saying a lot really.

FTFY; after all, the Mason/Dixon line is the border between PA and MD.

Umm, lady, that wasn't "chocolate sauce" with that underwear.

Not that weird for PA. Particularly the bath salts in East Hanover Township.
 
2011-12-28 02:17:37 PM
But was Pennsylvania like this before I moved here in 2009?
It seems like so many of these towns and events have the same names as the last state I lived in, Maine.
Maybe they're following me?
Where shall I move to next?
 
2011-12-28 02:21:20 PM
When I was nine, my family moved out of Pennsylvania to get away from all the weirdness.

We moved to Florida.

I don't know why this sort of thing always surprises me...We are a pretty darn big state, so there is obviously going to be a proportional percentage of Farkers from PA. I just always wind up feeling like I'm the only one in this state who knows how to get on the farking internet...

Yup. Our State capital (and pretty much consequently the entire state) is seven layers of FARKED.

I've always thought that this little shop outside of Erie kinda sums it all up in one quick sign:

Fireworks - Karate Supplies - Swords

you can't get much better than that unless you can sell booze, too.

Ahh yes, the woman who blamed a water main break on beavers. I love this city.

First I'm hearing of the nude sunbather in Mechanicsburg. There's an odd part of me that wonders if I know anyone who was involved with that. I hope not.

I'm figuring you're in Quakertown. And true with the "rural and quiet" thing. I remember going on a drive near my apartment and seeing tons of farms and cows...then took a turn somewhere and ended up next to a mall and rather industrial looking area.

Close enough. Not HA HA! town, but in spitting distance.

Pennsylvania is a great state. It's one of 50 great states. It's got some weirdness, but they all do.
I look forward to pointing my big truck towards Harrisburg every Friday. During a snow storm, I try to get out of PA asap because I think the state only has 2 or 3 operational snow plows.

So F'ing true. When a snowstorm so epic that Jim Cantore came to Harrisburg hit and the Turnpike closed, the highway they detoured us onto wasn't plowed. How the hell do you not plow a highway you're detouring the Turnpike onto?

PA is not much different from the other states in the asshole of the country: WV, OH, MD, KY. What they all have in common is that the people from there are ignorant, dishonest, lazy, backwards, stupid asswipes. But they ar convinced that they are honest, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth Americans with common sense.

so true. I remember driving home from my inlaws once down 81, and somewhere around scranton, maybe further south, the roads were horrible. We didn't see a single damned plow the whole way from the border to Harrisburg. We found out later that 81 was actually supposedly CLOSED at the time. Great work, PennDOT.
