Your perception of where other Ledgies live.....
 

I thought it would be interesting for us to each share our *perceptions* (granted, many of them will be false) of the cities/states/countries where other Ledgies live. The place itself and/or the people who live there. Now be honest...if anyone gets offended, just view it as your chance to improve/correct others' perceptions.


I'll start:

Seattle, WA (USA)

*awaits comments on grunge music, people in plaid flannel shirts and ****ty weather.....*

(Hey, at least we're a BLUE state! I don't even care about politics, but I'm still glad to be blue!)

The only thing I've heard about Seattle is it rains alot? Is that right? Surely it can't rain more than England though! LOL!

Frasier lived there!

Brisbane, from what I've understood, is a nice little city filled with Kookaburra cafés, some people with tyrannic tendencies and occasional Led Zeppelin/Queen references.

Haha spot on! :wavey:

in finland, the sun sets at 2pm, so blonds stay in their saunas and have sex there.

Tel Aviv, Israel...

Tension! But a beautifully historic place.

considering that it was only established in 1909, no, not really. :cool:

I have to admit when I think of Seattle I do think of a lot people wearing flannel shirts with nappy long Kurt Cobain-esque hair, in the drenching rain...

I live in Atlanta, GA (well Metro Atlanta) ...any perceptions of Atlanta??

Chris

The only thing that...
 

comes to mind is that the Braves suck!

Brian "TBS-The Braves Suck!!!!" j.

ps-Have never been to Atlanta (Or Georgia for that matter), But from what my trusted friend in Savannah has said about it is "that you really NEVER want to go there".

Well, I have been to Atlanta a few times and all I can say is TRAFFIC! :shocked:
Not really a place that I am dying to visit again. :rolleyes:

Don't even get me started on that airport or should I say DELTA. :distress: The shops there are really nice, however I did not have time to visit any last time I was there thanks to Delta. :p

You just have to know the right places to go , and the places to stay away from

Chris

Okay guys, what about Chicago...I know you all have to know something about Chicago :nod:

Easy...
 

Wrigley Field/Wrigleyville frikkin RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian "Diehard Cubs fan!!!!" j.

ps-Chicago also has GREAT blues club & music, "Da Bears" (!!!) & the Sears Tower...And of course there's the toilet bowl stadium on the southside where the White SUX call home

For some reason when I think of Chicago I of course think of wind, and Bruce Springsteen for some reason...Oh and baseball

Chris

Has anyone noticed the sh*tload of us Hoosiers that hang out here? I just find it odd that there seem to be so many of us. :thumbsup:

Well, this is depressing. I live in a town that is not near a major city in my state. My state doesn't even have a major city. We barely have a 6 lane road....if we even do. No one cares about my state. It is just there. :rolleyes:

Oh well....here it goes....


Philippi, WV....nowhere near a known city. :cool:


(Pss....Philippi is the location of the first land battle of the Civil War. We have an active covered bridge that runs through town. Guests get all excited because they get to drive through it. I drive over it every day...it's not a big deal anymore.)

Me and about five ledgies tearing it UP on Michigan Ave. the day before the LB Soundstage thingee!!!!!!!!

REPRESENT!!

Someone's GOT to say something about Indiana. And it just has to include corn and/or soybeans. :P

Gary, Indiana is the WORST smelling place I have ever been :laugh: :laugh:

Actually, from pics. of my friends who live there - the other parts seem nice :cool:

Isn't that where Michael Jackson was born? :lol:

:laugh: :laugh: well, I think so . . . and . . . :eek:

I think of John Denver,

I think of Gary as merely a suburb of Chicago. Make sure your tank's full, and drive as fast as possible! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I wouldn't stop there unless someone had a gun to my head.......which is exactly why you don't stop there!
Maybe the smell's what turn Wacko Jacko into the freakazoid he is.

Well...
 

they had Bobby Knight & still have the Colts, The Brickyard 400 & the now boring as hell Indy 500...Otherwise I know nuthin' of this place Indiana. (Except Tim McVeigh got his just desert in Terre Haute!!!)

Is it even a state??? :thumbsup: :lol: :laugh:

Brian j.

We've still got John Mellencamp :rolleyes: ....political correctness ran Bob Knight out on a rail :mad: ....

I love Atlanta. It is so green, warm, southern and cosmopolitan all at the same time. It really is beautiful.

Oh come on. You know what he means. :lol:

I love it there- the food, the shopping, Lake Michigan in late September. It is one of my favorite cities!

Who...
 

oh yeah, That has-been named John Mellen-Chump. (At least he FINALLY settled on a name :rolleyes: )

Man, I used to like his music, But recently I have grown sick of seeing him trying to revive a near-dead career...Life support was shut off years ago, Let it go John!

Brian j.

Besides that there are too many god damn Republicans...Dave Letterman is from Indiana and I love Dave (no I'm not the woman from Colorado who used to bust into his house years ago). :lol:

Are ya sure ya dont mean
 

Oklahoma??? Ya know we have 60% Registered Democrats who vote 90% of the time for Republican candidates...

The good thing about our state is at least "We're not Texas"!!!!!

Brian "I poop on Texas-Triumph the Comic insult Dog" j.

Atlanta...

Traffic, more traffic, an airport I will never walk all the way through again, and a packed Georgia Dome for the Peach Bowl.

Chicago...

Cold winters, baseball, wind, and I think of E.R.

I most likely don't want to know anyone's conceptions about Alabama and Alabamians. :distress:

Well the Confederate flag immediately springs to mind... :o as does Muscle Shoals, where some of the best musical tracks of all time were recorded. :)

Easy...
 

Talladega Speedway (aka the track Dale Earnhardt Sr/Jr dominate & where Davey Allison lost his life)

Muscle Shoals recording studios

There's a large Buckingham/Nicks following in 'bama

The Alabama Crimson Tide (Roll Tide)/Auburn Tigers (War Eagle) yearly battle in football

Brian j.

"5,000 people is a lotta people..."

AND

WAR EAGLE!

Gadzooks Curtis. I have a buddy that lives in Galloway right up the road from you. We go hunting together every year. I know people in Harper’s Ferry, and I go to Charles Town to gamble every once in awhile. I’ve hiked a lot of mountains down in that area. The state has some beautiful sights but does get a bad rap. We crack jokes about you up here in Maryland. I’m about 2 hours north of you in Western Maryland. :wavey:

I’ve seen a few back woods hillbillies I’d say looked a little strange but it’s still pretty wild country. In a way I admire the way they live. I might be buying some property down there this summer. You can’t beat the prices. I’ll continue to live in Maryland but damn our land taxes are high up here. You have any nude bars in your area? The girls are wild in West Virginia. :]

I can’t end this without a joke. Water flows down hill so give me a holler if the well starts to run dry. I’ll give my toilet some extra flushes for ya. :xoxo:

That's why I added the rolling eyes! I too, used to love him. Because his music was fun, and kinda rocked. But, he became an "artiste". He's so full of himself, with all his political postering. He's convinced himself he's on a par with Dylan. (What's up with artist's comparing themselves to Dylan? :lol: :lol: :lol: )
And, on a personal note, he's an horse's ass! :eek:

Actually...
 

Mellen-Chump thinks he is Bob Dylan...Sorry Johnny boy, Yer not even in the ballpark on that one pal, Ya couldnt even hold a jockstrap to Dylan...Sad but true.

Brian "Mellen-Chump, Whose yer daddy? Dylan is, So choke on that Chump-change!" j.

ps-I thought he's more like something coming outta the horse's ass if ya ask me...Especially his new music that sounds rather crappy!!!!
