anyone who wants to send an xmas card is welcome to do so.

Now, should any of you decide to come knock on my door, it would be wise to inform me before hand, since I keep a very large and very loaded gun handy at all times. I'd hate to accidentally shoot one of you.
Unless you're Durko.

You're on the list, then.
I'll have to mail you something, as for what, I don't know.
Something.
Imma going to mail you all of my snow. Just as soon as I find someone else to shovel it into the boxes.
do you like catalogs? :D
Ooooh oooh my friend Chris used to live on Tibbetts! He would occasionally scream "OH, that tickles my TIBBETTS! for no reason.
Just google earthed it. WTF is with you americans? Is every fucking place over there divided into neat little perfect squares? :argh!: This explains the automotive windowlicker convention that is Nascar - none of you poor bastards have ever driven a car around a proper corner have you? Only a nation with no drivable roads could possibly invent a motorsport where you just drive round in circles. It all makes perfect sense now.

they don't call it "Manhattan metric" for nothing ... apparently this is what happens if you come to a new country and have too much space on your hands, and want to try out this new-fangled thing called "city planning" instead of just letting the shit grow organically.

A lot of New England cities are from before we had civil engineers over here, so they're all fucked up and nonsensical.

Mass is consistently ranked number one for the worst drivers in the country. I disagree with the statement, I've found a good number of our drivers are technically skilled and competent, they're just so enraged and uncaring that anyone outside the area will be psychologically damaged from the treatment.
I'm sure P3nt would cause them psychological damage.
How can you possibly know whether your drivers are technically skilled or not? They've never had to actually balance a car through a complex series of corners. 100 yards then 90o left, 100 yards then 90o right... I'd be surprised if even the most shit driver had to even look at the road after a week or two behind the wheel, never mind employ any technical skill.

I'd expect this sort of attitude from the people who thought the bagpipe was a logical choice for an instrument.

but bagpipes were originally French - you can't actually blame the Scots for that one
Case in point: Listen to the reaction of an american, being driven (pretty fucking slowly) around a few corners

A lot of American roads, highways, are perfectly, unbelievably straight. I have seen them, and I have subsequently beaten the fuck out of cars trying to get somewhere, anywhere on them. In New England we have these things called curves. I imagine somewhere between them a stretch of straight highway exists but I haven't found it yet.
Keep in mind American cars (not just the ones from American companies) are prone to overturn and burst apart for sheer size and the weight they bear of an entire family stuffing themselves with super value meals. The gallons of soft drink alone would crush your puny European cars. And yes, I say this in full knowledge of your enthusiasm for deep frying.

We have curves like that around here. Because we have hills. Places that have flat have a lot of straight roads. People sometimes fall asleep on them.
Our city is mostly on a grid. Except the hills.
Here is a good example of grid + hills: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Mt+tabor&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.754532,82.177734&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Mt+Tabor,+Portland,+Oregon&ll=45.522165,-122.699862&spn=0.045162,0.080252&t=h&z=14
I've heard tell that the great cross country highways have a very slight curve in them, to do with the curvature of the earth.
MIND BLOWING :eek:

I quite like cities that are laid out on a grid, because they make sense and you can figure out where you are and how to get where you need to be even if you don't know the city very well.
it's especially a treat after spending most of the last 7 years in a state (Maine) with a grand total of 4.3 miles of straightaways.

So they stole a horrible instrument from the French? That's even worse.

yeah, but the Scots were the ones who thought highly enough of them to make them a point of national pride. And the basis for their most noteworthy contribution to the culinary world as well. Not a stellar track record, if you ask me.
I see more wrecks round these parts from people asleep at the wheel then I care to admit.
By asleep I mean: old and dead, passed out drunk, overworked overstressed and underpaid, drunk, dead from drugs, shot, drunk, old

I thought our most noteworthy contribution to the culinary world was Gordon Ramsey, and he looks more like a bawsack than bagpipes.
Regardless: <3 Scotland.

I sent him some rage, on his voicemail. I didn't get to barf the whole thing out, because TGRRGF started grabbing for the phone, and my pills. I was forced to defend myself, my honor, and my precious pills.
Post your phone number too!

Well, Providence is on a grid (most of it anyway), but Boston looks like someone threw spaghetti on the paper and called it a plan.
Also, it may LOOK nice and neat and organized, but that doesn't account for the fact that most of them are one-ways.
