Um, no, we are not like Jersey or NY folks, we are a breed all our own! :] But I guess to southerners we may seem very similar? Maybe we are and I'm just in denial since it's baseball season. Speaking of, Johnny Damon's doing a book signing next Tuesday! :swoon:

84%? :eek: Yer worse 'n me, darlin.... ;)

I have lots of German ancestors, and I don't think I have any Confederate ancestors. Well, lets just say that if I do, they probably lived in a shack, not a huge columned plantation home. From what I've been told, we was po'. :p

dissention 04-08-2005 04:16 PM

16% (Yankee). Wow. Your Yankee score is in the top 20 percentile!

What the hell is a drive through liquor store? I've never seen one. :laugh: I find it interesting that people from Wisconsin call fountains "bubblers," too.

It must be a southern thing. We have them here in Fort Worth, Texas and we had one in Morrilton, Arkansas. :woohoo:

We had this new teacher from Missouri in our middle school a couple years ago and when a kid asked to go to the bubbler she promtly replied, "Just what are you going to do there?" She had no clue.

I love Massachusetts.

the genealogy on my Mother's side of the family includes one General Robert E.Lee as a family member (I prefer my Father's side of the family, Which includes both Erik the Red & the Queen of Prussia as our ancestors!!!)...So I guess we all are related, Cousin! :nod:

Something we will NEVER see here in PA. Good lord - the government here has a tight restriction on all alcohol sales. There was just a big battle over opening a small percentage of state liquor stores on Sundays (in the past there was only sales of six packs in restarants on Sundays). Beer must be bought at beer distributors (or restaurants that sell 6 packs) and all liquor must be bought at a "state store". No grocery stores or 7-11s here that sell anything alcoholic.

estranged4life 04-08-2005 05:01 PM

Which explains why...

some many drunken asshats/asstards/f**ktards reside in Oklahoma..."Let the government dictate tobacco sales here in OK but leave our mutha#$%^ing beer/liquor alone, Cause the Bible shows evidence that even Jesus loved to down some alcohol...Thus alcohol is more acceptable" :lol:

I thought that only Rhode Islanders called them 'bubblas'. :confused: Mass people always make fun of us. :shrug: My photography instructor is from Boston and he said that he never heard of a 'bubbla' until he came to RI. :laugh:

I have never, ever, heard of bubbler. ever. only drinking fountain or water fountain. Most say drinking fountain. (water fountain? are there fountains that shoot other things?)
I thought it was weird that a lot of my answers said "West Great Lakes" region. I have lived here all my life. My grandma and great aunt moved from Michigan, but I wouldn't think that would influence much. :shrug:
uh, innyways.

skcin 04-08-2005 07:47 PM

In NY, we can buy beer & malt beverages at the grocery store. Liquor & wine from the liquor stores (which are privately owned.) Depending on the county, sales stop at a certain time.

I'm in Erie County, so you can legally start buying alcohol at 8am. Except Sundays, when you can't buy any alcohol before 12 noon (which puts a real damper on football games if you forgot to grab beer the night before. :laugh: ) Sales stop at 3 or 4am.

Liquor stores used to be closed Sunday by law, but they just changed it. The store can now be open on Sunday, but they must choose another day that wek to be closed. :rolleyes: Most just stay closed Sun unless there's a holiday involved or it's football season.

As far as I know we do not have any drive-through liquor stores, but a few will deliver. :D

Oh, to live in another state . . .

PA has so many outdated laws regarding the sale of liquor and beer it is ridiculous. We aren't able to buy wine online and have it shipped to us (legally, that is) and we aren't allowed to buy wine, say on a vacation to VA, and cart it home across the border (again, legally that is). Also, no liquor can be sold at strip joints unless the girls wear G-strings and pasties.

How do I know all of this? In law school, I worked as a law clerk for the PA State Police. :laugh:

This? rocks. I remember many a night of us trying to make it to AM/PM before 1:45.... :laugh:
There are no days here, of course, where you can't buy liquor. I think the bars can't open until later in the morning, though. But liquor stores are open way before that, so... :confused:

Nope he was born and raised in south Boston. I also thought that RI was the only place where you could order a grinder and a cabinet without people looking at you like you have 8 heads. :laugh:

Yeah, and for ha-has don't forget to throw in the 18% tax on liquor sales to help fund the rebuilding of Johnstown after the flood in 1936. Un-frickin-believable.

29% (Yankee). You show a very strong Yankee score.

Grinder is weird... but I know what it is. However, what the hell is a cabinet? :shrug:

And, this is the first time I've heard the term bubbler. I think it's pretty cool.

I got basically the same. 29% Yankee. I live in CONNECTICUT! :laugh: I've never heard of a drive thru liquor store either. That sounds slightly illegal, and definitely not safe. :laugh: And I've never heard of a bubbler either.

In Indiana, bars and liquor stores close at 3 AM. They stop either midnight or 1 AM on Saturday night/Sunday morning, because there is no Sunday liquor sales here. You can buy beer in a bar on Sunday, but you can't take it home. YOu have to drink in the bar... There are no drive thru's, and you can't buy cold beer or liquor in a grocery store... :shrug: You can buy beer in a gas station, and a pharmacy.
