What are you 5?

They don't sell fireworks in the North? I'm confused. Why would that be insulting? If that was meant to be a knock on the South.....that is about the most pathetic attempt I have seen.

I really don't have any desire to go somewhere like Minnesota or Wisconsin. Something about freezing cold weather, God-awful accents/and pale women is somehting I have no desire to be around.......I did though visit my uncle once in Rochester, MN while he was at the Mayo Clinic for his Orthopedic Surgery Residencey. Pretty sure he said it was the worst couple years of his life.

Yes Macallan, I am 5 years old.

Anyway, that was actually a compliment about the south. In Wisconsin, fireworks are available but they are more expensive. In Minnesota they are illegal except sparklers, snakes crap that isn't worth lighting up. The south has warehouses everywhere, selling grosses of bottle rockets for about $1 each, M-60's tanks, etc. Well worth a roadie.

No Fair. This got added on after I posted.
Don't even get started on the accents. No nationally syndicated news broadcast anchors have thick Southern accents. I won't knock them too bad, but it's a fact. Rochester is kind of boring though. Lots of doctors however.

No national anchors have any accent. Surely not Wisconsin or Minnesota. People can talk bad about southern accents if they want, but girls in other parts of the country don't really seem to mind...I think girls from the south would testify that guys from other regions seem to like theirs as well.

I prefer British accents personally. No matter how mad they are, they never sound all that angry. It's rather disarming.

Reminds me of a wildlife rehabilitation center we visited. We were in the predatory birds area and the vet techs were trying to catch one of the owls for examination. Despite being highly distressed, all it could do was hoot loudly. The other owls started hooting as well but it all sounded rather calm until the eagles in the other cage started with their screeching. After that, it was total clamor as the other animals in different parts of the property heard the eagles and joined in.
