North VS. South: The Mo Edition (ver. 1)

[MonorailMan]

Many, many years ago something called the Mason Dixon Line was created. (Some people think it's actually drawn in chalk.....but it's not........so don't bother looking.) This, my friends, is what separates the northern states from the southern states in the United States.

Here's a game I thought we could all play:

Everyone makes a post listing something that makes either the north or the south something "special". It could be a type of food, a cultural aspect, or even a type of music that originated in a certain state. (You get the idea.) On Friday, at the end of this week, we can loosley tally up all the entries to see who wins......and then we can all point, ridicule and make fun of each other for our stoopid answers. :cutie:

Some minor rules

1. You don't have to be from the area of the United States you're leaving an answer/vote for.
2. Each person can only leave 1 (one) answer per day, which means, since it's Tuesday, each person will only be allowed 4 (foowah) entries total.
3. People who do not currently reside in the US, such as the adorable Glen, can be on my team. :lmao: Just kidding. You can vote for whomever you like.


That about wraps it up. Have fun! :woohoo:

[jamieandben]

Cheerwine!

[OrlandoMike]

Only one vote a day? :eek:

OK today I vote for the north!

People up there at least understand Olive Garden IS NOT Italian food!:sad2:

Sigh......How I miss the food up north! Orlando is nothing but one chain restaurant after another....it is getting a little better, but not much!

[rosiep]

Portland Oregon Has RosieP! One vote for Portland.

[rpmdfw]

I'm not voting with this, but OMG, Mike is so right. IT is chain restaurant hell here!

[rpmdfw]

Portland Oregon Has RosieP! One vote for Portland.

Wouldn't that be a positive for the SOUTH?

[MonorailMan]

Cheerwine!

Huh? LOL I know it's a southern thing, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. :lmao:

So your vote is "better knowledge of food"? Sorry, dear......that's just heresay. We need something physical.......or at least something that's able to be proven. :)

Portland Oregon Has RosieP! One vote for Portland.

You should get 2 points for that one. ;)

[rpmdfw]

The South gave the world Coca-Cola! (and Pepsi-Cola, and Dr Pepper . . . )

One vote for the South!

[OrlandoMike]

I'm not voting with this, but OMG, Mike is so right. IT is chain restaurant hell here!

Oh last night we had mexican....we went to Taco Bell, and the night before we had Italian, you know at Macaroni Grill, and tonight we're gonna have BBQ, probably at Sonny's, and tomorrow Shrek said we can have Chineese at Panda Express! Maybe someday I can go to get some fresh seafood at Red Lobster! :rotfl2:

OK so my last vote didn't count! Here is my re-vote!

NO DRUM CORPS FROM THE SOUTH HAS EVER COME HIGHER THAN 4TH PLACE!!!!

[rosiep]

Wouldn't that be a positive for the SOUTH?

Bite Me


You should get 2 points for that one. ;)

Looks great in a cowboy hat AND is a gentleman....swooooooon!:lovestruc

[MonorailMan]

I'm not voting with this, but OMG, Mike is so right. IT is chain restaurant hell here!

Even though his vote doesn't really count, I'd have to agree with you guys. Every time I've been to Orlando (around 10 or 11) I've noticed it pretty much is chain heaven. St. Pete was the same, but not quite as bad.

[jamieandben]

Huh? LOL I know it's a southern thing, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. :lmao:





Cheerwine is a soft drink here in the south.
Its like cherry coke but alot better

[OrlandoMike]

The South gave the world Coca-Cola! (and Pepsi-Cola, and Dr Pepper . . . )

I thought Joan Crawford gave us Pepsi! :confused3

I feel so bad for you. LOL :lmao: (Sorry...I'm laughing as I type this.) I'm kind of a "foodie", so I understand where you're coming from. I feel very fortunate to live within walking distance to....

-1 non-franchised Mexican restaurant
-2 non-franchised Italian restaurants
-2 wine bars
-1 non-franchised seafood restaurant
-2 non-franchised Greek restaurants/markets
-1 non-franchised Japanese restaurant
-1 non-franchised Thai/Chinese restaurant
-3 non-franchised "American" restaurants

You marched in a northeastern corps. That should make up for it. ;)

edit

Oops.....I forgot there are also 2 steak houses (which I guess can be categorized as American) and 3 coffee shops/bars.

[rpmdfw]

Ugh!

I think the silly band nonsense shouldn't count. Nobody in their right mind even cares about that stuff!

:rolleyes1

[MonorailMan]

They should have that at that place in Epcot where you can taste sodas from around the world.

[OrlandoMike]

:rolleyes1

Obama does! :thumbsup2

[rpmdfw]

Obama does! :thumbsup2

He HAD to pick bands to march in his parade. It was forced upon him.

That doesn't count.

[MonorailMan]

Okay......I guess my vote for today will go to......

*dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn*

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

[OrlandoMike]

Okay......I guess my vote for today will go to......

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

I like NY style better, but both fall on the north side!

[MonorailMan]

I like NY style better, but both fall on the north side!

I wasn't quite as impressed with NYC pizza, but they're both very different conceptually. One's made to eat as you're walking down the street, and the other is best eaten as a meal while sitting down.

Portland has great food too. We've been over the pizza business before....but a foodie would be very happy here.

[wallyb]

Portland Oregon Has RosieP! One vote for Portland.

Oh crap Rosie beat me to it.

[kingLouiethe1]

My vote goes for the South I suppose, Southern California at least, not to be in any confused with the grease capital that is the South.

We have Disneyland!

[DVC~OKW~96]

A vote for the North with Maine lobster as first course!

[RAPstar]

I'd have to say the South. We have authentic Mexican food. :goodvibes

[npmommie]

we definitely win!:)

[OrlandoMike]

Another day....another vote! :banana:

OK the south has better Theme Parks.....but the North has better Amusement Parks.

So another vote for the north for me! :thumbsup2

I'll take the thrill of a roller coaster over a dancing mouse anyday!

[starann]

My vote for today will be for the South....

grits, chicken and Dumplins, REAL biscuits, pig roasts, southern style potato salad (it's been a few years since I've been with my family in NC and I miss all the food....but since Granddaddy's 7th wife left him there is no one to do the cooking....I am totally serious it was his 7th wife and she was 5 years younger than my mom, his daughter)


I will have to think about the North tomorrow....

[rpmdfw]

Well, it's January and we've got a cold front coming through.

In that north that would mean sub-zero temperatures.

Here it means that the high will only be getting up to 75 Degrees.

Yeah, I think that means I'm voting for the South on that one.

:thumbsup2

[wallyb]

North

White Christmas.
4 real seasons

And we have all the states with gay marriage. :upsidedow

[MemoToMe]

I'll vote for North

The reason-Broadway:dance3:

[jamieandben]

I vote for the south because:
Running barefoot through a corn field.
Swimming at the rock cory or in the creek.
Kick Ball in the back yard.
Drinking water from the hose pipe.
Maw maw's front porch swing.
Southern fried chicken and Banana Pudding every sunday.
And at night, a game of kick the can.

[OrlandoMike]

Pssst Jamie...

We had all of those things growing up in the North too!

(Well maybe not your Maw Maw, but everything else!)

Bush is moving back to the south.

:banana: We win! :banana:

[rosiep]

I thought Bush was always in the south...:confused3

[MonorailMan]

My vote for today goes to....
Manhattan delivery services

Where else can you have your dry cleaning, laundry, a Thai meal, a bottle of Woodford Reserve and a pack of cigs all delivered to your apartment in the same evening? :confused3

(Disclaimer: I don't smoke. Cigs are bad.)

[rpmdfw]

My vote for today goes to....
Manhattan delivery services

Where else can you have your dry cleaning, laundry, a Thai meal, a bottle of Woodford Reserve and a pack of cigs all delivered to your apartment in the same evening? :confused3



And it'll only cost you $527.34! :scared:

[wallyb]

(Disclaimer: I don't smoke. Cigs are bad.)

You came so close to being off my list!

[wallyb]

I thought Bush was always in the south...:confused3

Wow
:eek:
Wow
:scared:
Wow
:crazy2:

[MonorailMan]

And it'll only cost you $527.34! :scared:

I was pretty surprised at the delivery prices. It wasn't too bad. Two Thai meals, a bottle of WR and a pack of cigs (not for me) came to about $65 with tips. Most of which was due to the price of the liquor. And from what I understand, sending your laundry out and having it delivered back is a lot cheaper than I expected.......but I'd still rather do it myself in my own washing machine. Unfortunately that's not always possible to do when you live in a 12-story walk-up. :rolleyes:

Don't like strangers handling your unmentionables? :)

[DVC~OKW~96]

Another day, another vote. The North. NYC. :D (Can I second the vote for Gay Marriages in the north, too)? :teeth:

[MonorailMan]

You came so close to being off my list!

Nope. I don't smoke. I tried it once and someone came up to me and said, "You don't smoke often do you? I could tell because of the way you hold the cigarette when it's not up to your mouth."

I don't need any more reasons to look like a confused geek. Plus cigs are bad. They're bad, kids! Bad!

[MonorailMan]

Don't like strangers handling your unmentionables? :)

Is that what they're calling it nowadays?

Another day, another vote. The North. NYC. :D (Can I second the vote for Gay Marriages in the north, too)? :teeth:

Only one per day. ;)
Oh well....no one else seems to be following the rules either, so why not. :rolleyes1

[wallyb]

"You don't _____ often do you?
I could tell because of the way you hold the ______ when it's not up to your mouth."

See - works for other cases too! ;)

[rosiep]

Funny..no ones ever said that to me.....:confused3

[rosiep]

Secret: I used to smoke over 25 years ago...and damn it I still miss it...

Oh well....there are substitutes....

[dustyraye]

I've never been able to find a really good bagel outside of the NY metro area, so that's another for the North.

[npmommie]

whimp.:rolleyes:
This storm is nothing.
Come on!
Let's run out it it naked.:yay:
I laugh at you Ice storm!

LOL naked in the ice!!!! I'm on my way, let's do it!

[MonorailMan]

Secret: I used to smoke over 25 years ago...and damn it I still miss it...

Don't go back to it. There are "electric cigs" now that have no tar, carbon monoxide or any of the other nasty chemicals. All you get from them is nicotine. The smoke that you inhale is mostly water vapor.



I saw it on a talk show today. :rolleyes:

You have smart daughters. The only smoke that should be present is what comes out of Wally's ears when you 2 fight. :surfweb:

Any New York is?

Huh? What was that you said?

NY although one of the most expensive states to live in, offers a lot of different opportunities outside of NYC (I don't live in NYC, but do travel there frequently) and is for the most part very forward thinking, more then we can say for most of Florida.

You can't fault Walt Disney World for EVERYONE in the state. If that were true you wouldn't post on this board because some of the people on the Community board say mean things.

Disneyland is a failure is it... How long has it been open, and making people happy? Yeah, Walt would have hated that all the happy people.

:rolleyes1 Mighty disparaging words from someone who not only chooses to vacation in FL but OWNS DVC.

New York also has the Love Canal taxic waste site, and the radioactive West Valley site

Although I love going to portions of Florida, I hate to say it, but I definitely agree with you there. There are a couple cities where I felt a little out of place even though I was hanging out with gay people. In NYC I feel free to just relax and be myself.

I'm not sure that's a good thing or not. :rolleyes:

Ohhhh Sweetie...

Someone who would say that has never had GOOD grits (NOT cold & gloppy but with lotsa REAL butter and salt/pepper. Cheese Grits are real good too...:goodvibes bliss) or homemade fried okra (not those AWFUL lil frozen marble things from the freezer case at the grocery store)

NO, Florida won! Trust me! I work in a Bar! We had the game on all night! :sad2:

And speaking of that game......at halftime I noticed a wretched sound comming from the TV, Good God that Oklahoma band is bad! I mean throw babies from the bleachers bad!

And do I even have to tell you what broadway showtune they were playing?:scared1:

Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain?
Kill me now! :rolleyes:

[OrlandoMike]

Oh that was just pre-game!

For half time they pulled out Pinball Wizard!

I was close to breaking a margarita glass and slitting my wrist!:sad2:

You have such high standards.

Hey, they could have been doing the other Oklahoma! song--From the musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Here's a sample lyric..

And we'll dress you up nifty in a big Stetson
With some SPF 50 so no sun gets in
'cause that freckle on your skin can do a feller in
and the shade is mighty thin in Oklahoma
and our leading cause of death...is melanoma!

OMG, Orlando Mike! We were in the local pub, watching the game and having a drink when that band came on with the Pinball Wizard...

I looked at the wife and said, "Orlando Mike LIKES this stuff?!!!!" We both agreed that you could like marching band music without liking that caterwauling noise of that particular number.

So! You have restored our "faith" in you! :teeth:

[jlewisinsyr]

Pinball Wizard is a pain to play on Rock Band 2...its a song that makes me want to take my drum stick and stick it through my head.

[C&G'sMama]

Apparently my absentee ballot was lost in the mail. New York has the best hot dogs. Zweigles in Rochester, though I have to admit I like Hoffman's out of Syracuse better and there's Glazier's out of Potsdam. And further North is Croghan Balogna and Cheese Curd. Mmm...

So I'm saying North. And of course there's the gay adoption laws ....:rolleyes1

We just bought Hoffmann Coneys. And who doesn't love Salt Potatoes. Yeah, pretty much can guarantee southerners don't know about these two wonders.

While I'm not a fan of Ohio State (or the way this entire city idolizes their football team) I must say the OSU band is pretty gosh-darn swell. :thumbsup2 It's probably not the "BDBINL" (Best D**n Band In The Land), as all the bumper stickers say they are, but they're still probably the best in the midwest.

Well thanks! :rotfl2:

Yes that was pretty bad for a major university!

[DVC~OKW~96]

I know. You can rest easy now, knowing that two women approve of your taste in music. :rotfl:

Ohio State. Yepper. Those folks are serious, eh? My wife's brother is a professor there. :snooty:

We went to SU. :D :D :lmao:

Don't worry......I have nothing against OSU or their staff. It's mostly the city's reaction that I can't stand. (One of my friends in college used to live on OSU campus and on the night of one of the games his car was flipped upside down because it had Michigan license plates.) :scared1:

Also, OSU has the nicest hospital in the city. I had the privilege of finding that out the hard way. :rolleyes:

[DVC~OKW~96]

I never thought you were implying anything against OSU, their faculty or the town! :teeth:

I was just sayin'. :teeth: (I personally find the BIL a bit of a snob). :confused3
