People from the North think people from the South are stupid and people from the South think people from the North are dishonest.

The general rule applies to the US as elsewhere.

Anyone to the west or south of 'you' is inferior.

Anyone to the north or east is screwing you over somehow.

Q:  How would you describe your region?

Northeast:  "We have lots of trees and the Kennedy's.  No one is quite as cultured as us.  Huh?  You didnt go to school here?  They have schools elsewhere in the country?  What is a 'Duke?'"

Mid Atlantic:  "Who the **** are you?  Get lost ******* and stop wasting my time with your stupid questions.  I dont have the stomach for this telemarketing bull**** - I hope you fall into a pothole on your way home from work and die as a result of roadworker incompitence."

South:  "Damn yankees... first they sent us their prisoners, then they sent their soldiers, now they send us mass produced BBQ sauce that tastes like Diet Coke gone bad.  Can I get a refill on my 'sweet tea' please?"

Northwest:  (Could not find anyone to answer question.)

Southwest:  (Could not find anyone that spoke English to answer question.)

Southern California:  (yes, its its own region) "Dont you think this survey is offensive?  We are not 'regions' within a country.  We shouldnt even be states.  We are all brothers and sisters of this land and we should live in harmoney with one 'n other.  Come to think of it... brothers and sisters might be an offensive discription too... hmmm."

West Coast:  "Please dont confuse us with Southern California.  We have no idea what government experiment went wrong down there, but we think it can be solved with a 12 guage and a few boxes of shells."

Texas:  (Ditto SoCal)  "You can tell them Southern boys they dont know apples from boots.  Texas BBQ is the only real BBQ.  Thats all we're really concerned with right now."

So, how far into the butthole of Oregon do you live, anyhow?  :p

I live in God's country my boy, I don't live anywhere near Vera's house.:p

>edit:  I would tell you about my wonderful area, but they don't print it on the maps available to those who think Oregon stops 'bout halfway between Albany and Eugene, at the Pacific Crest Trail, the Ocean, and the Columbia.

Do those in your Oregon have to pay out of state tuition when you become a Duck?

I can't believe no one has done New York yet.

Thank you Louis Black for illustrating the fact that in City of New York the "F-word" is no longer a word, but a comma. I love my city! As for the rest of the state, we tend to forget about it as just empty space.

Michigan people like cars.  And boats.  And pointing at their hand to reference where they're from.

Fly to Portland, then get in a car and drive.  When you are 200 km from Multonomah Co. and still south of the Columbia, you are getting close.
