if you've taken the fung wah bus to visit me in boston, which you definitely have, then you've been to connecticut ;)

Re: liar

[chuckyspiderweb]

ok, but see, the thing is, i thought about that, and really the most i have ever done in connecticut is hang around a truck stop for about 10-15 minutes at a time = not really "visiting" a place. so i decided it didn't count. y'know?

Re: liar

:) i gotcha.

you seem to have it in for the north/south states, but not the "new" ones.

also, has anyone ever wondered why it's not east AND west virginia? hmmm.

from cory

[chuckyspiderweb]

the reason that it's not east & west virginia is because west virginia split off from virginia in the civil war because virginia wanted to be a slave state & west virginia wanted to be a "free" state. you can ask me these things cuz i'm "from there" :)

Re: from cory

[lunatopaz]

i know. i'm from there, too. i guess virginia was just hoity-toity enough to be, like, "we're not gonna change our name, no matter what YOU do."

i just think it's odd. are there any other examples in the world of states/provinces/countries with that imbalance? i can't think of any.

it's like you skipped the carolinas out of spite

[chuckyspiderweb]

i have driven through, but not really stopped at all. cdp says that i saw "south of the border", and that you would know what that meant. what does that mean?

[honkytonkhussy]

south of the border is one of those highway tourist traps in south carolina--the kind that have signs advertising it from 100s of miles away.

it's tacky, well advertised, and a bit of a let-down, kind of like south carolina.

ps: i miss you!
