I'm not defending MOVE, they're a bunch of assholes. And I disagree with Wiki's role of the mayor in all that. A piece in the Philly Inquirer before the official investigation quoted Sambor saying he specifically cleared it with the mayor's office before the helicopter dropped the bomb. I think the mayor spearheaded that inquiry specifically so he could be in charge of it, and prevent his role from surfacing. The really fucked thing about all that is that there were firetrucks right there, and they didn't bother to put out the fire even once it spread beyond the MOVE house. I really just brought it up to show how bad this city can get. One interesting parallel, though: I think the Branch Davidians and MOVE are about on the same level, and pretty much the same thing happened to each of them, but there is TONS more bitching about Waco. What's the difference? Federal vs. City Government? Or black anarchists vs. white religious kooks?300lb. Samoan said:

I've moved a lot so I have a lot of these.
Texas from birth to about 9ish - Apparently I wasn't doing my accent right. Not enough draaawwwlll y'all!
Wisconsin from 9 to 12ish - Yes. cheese head. But now that I think of it, cheese is pretty tasty, and I couldn't drink milk for years after moving from there because Illinois milk tasted old, so maybe there is something to that one.
Illinois from 12-24 - From what I could tell, Chicago is the only city in Illinois. Whenever I would tell people where I was from, the answer I would undoubtedly get was, "Oooh! I love Chicago, how did you like living there?" Yes, even after I told them the city I grew up in.
Went to UofI for my post grad work, which obviously means I love college basketball, right? Right?
Michigan - lived outside of Detroit, so either I was living on the edge, barely surviving the economy and the crime or I saw Eminem on a regular basis. Actually, the second one makes a little more sense since I was renting a guest house down the street from the Kresge mansion he bought, but I never actually drove by the place since it was like, a mile off the road! I never had any trouble with crime, but I did find out my landlord carried a revolver with him whenever he went into the city, kind of freaky.

Well, I am basing this mostly off of UrbanDictionary definitions but seriously check out the definitions of "Northern Virginia" and "Southern Virgina" all of the defintions of SoVa take some form of cheap-shot at NoVa ussually something about us not having "Southern hospitality" and all of the NoVa definitions are written by SoVans who just bash the crap out of this area.Veritas0323 said:

Only thing I can think of for Maryland is crabs, and the shampoo cleared that up quite nicely for me.
[sub]The previous is a distraction/joke for the fact that I go crabbing quite a bit, I'm clean.[sub]ladies.[/sub][/sub]
In the middle of PA, that stereotype is true, Mahoning City is exactly that.
