Seriously, can we stop picking on Delaware - it's starting to get a tad bit old

[LynneSin]

I mean geez, can't you release stress with a good antihill rage over in GD/GDP

[Shell Beau]

1. I don't get why it gets picked on! I guess they got sick if picking on

southern states.

[LynneSin]

5. Neither do I - it's a lovely blue state

go figure!

[flvegan]

2. Try living in Florida, toots.

[Shell Beau]

8. or Mississippi!

:shrug: But yeah Florida gets it pretty bad!

[Reciprocity]

31. Or Texas, deep East Texas.

My husband and I, are like two blueberries in a sea of red sauce.

[cobalt1999]

40. Really.

I cringe everything there is some wacko story in the news because I'm sure it happened in Florida.

[flvegan]

46. I like the inevitable "Florida again" responses.

There's always a couple.

[LostinVA]

3. But I'm a Hillary supporter!

[Beer Snob-50]

4. btw what did delaware?

how about a new jersey!!!

[Gormy Cuss]

9. Idaho, Alaska

[skygazer]

6. Let's pick on Michigan for a change

No one ever picks on Michigan, do they?

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. Look at it this way...

this now entitles you to pick on Rhode Island...I think Delaware is big enough to take its lunch money :P

[LostinVA]

10. From what Haruka's told me, Rhode Island is a lovely state

Next summer, she's taking me up there.

[Reverend_Smitty]

18. it is a really nice place to visit

It has that lovely New England seaside charm to it

[Midlodemocrat]

11. So you DO support bombing Iran??? Just as I thought.

[LostinVA]

14. Hey, so do I!

At least, that's what I've been told in GD a good dozen times.

[swimboy]

12. I see your point.

Instead, why don't we focus and pick on one Delaware county at a time?

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Or neighborhood? That would keep us busy for a day or two.

:hide:

[skygazer]

15. Does Delaware have more than one county?

Oh, crap, did it again. x(

They just write themselves. :blush:

[GoneOffShore]

20. New Castle, Kent, Sussex

I've never gotten that. It ought to be Essex, Kent, Sussex.

[LynneSin]

23. I swear the reason that Mike Castle wins as our US Representative

is because people think it's neato to live in New Castle County and vote for Mike Castle.

Other than that - this state is solid blue. At least Mike Castle is pretty progressive for a republican

[GoneOffShore]

24. You should start a petition drive to change the county name

to Essex. See if Castle then changes his name to Essex.

Rep Mike Castle Essex or Essex Castle.

[LynneSin]

25. I think we should change it to LynneSin County

then I'LL run for office

[GoneOffShore]

27. It's got a ring to it.

Delaware's three counties are LynneSin, Kent, Sussex.

It rolls off the tongue. Kids could memorize that just as easily as New Castle, Kent, Sussex.

[lost-in-nj]

42. does Delaware really only have 3 counties????

wow
I guess size does matter.....


:rofl: :rofl: :yoiks: :yoiks:



lost

[billyskank]

16. I am an honourary resident of Delaware.

I haven't forgotten.

:hug:

[GoneOffShore]

17. I don't pick on Delaware

I'm was born there and I buy most of my booze there. Cheaper than Jersey, less tax and better selection. And it's only 25 minutes away, if 95 isn't all blocked up. And when it is blocked it's Pennsylvania's fault.

Of course, I live in Philadelphia now. Couldn't wait to leave. But that had more to do with my family than the place itself.
And Wilmington is revitalizing although it's still small towny.

:)

[bbernardini]

19. This coming from the person who refuses to visit certain parts of the state?

;)

[Throd]

21. Oh, go drink alone!

[LynneSin]

22. Yeah, when I'm by myself

:eyes:

[american_typeculture]

26. Does Delaware have a Governor?

Or do y'all take turns running the place?

[LynneSin]

32. Ruth Ann Minner - who looks like she was separated from birth from....

Fortunately Ruth Ann is a democrat (Marge was definate repuke) and Ruth Ann never collected Nazi Memorabilia or called certain empmloyees 'monkeys'

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. I can't pick on Delaware.

Maine, while larger, is something like 75% (at least) forest and backwoods-ness, and there are plenty of old mill towns and whatever. And our turnpike can be pretty damn sucky.

But we gots da blueness at the coast!!!

[Burma Jones]

29. Well, if you pick on other places, folks get really really offended and threaten to leave DU

and wonder why Democrats would hate their state and all that.

People pick on Delaware because of one annoying toll booth........made irrelevant by EZPass

[Deep13]

30. I wish Biden was doing better than he is.

He's no rock star, but he has a solid understanding of all the issues and workings of the government and foreign policy matters.

[LynneSin]

33. I'm supporting him because he's a home state guy but I have no grand illusions

it's an uphill battle. But it's neat to support a presidental candidate who has his main office in your hometown. How often will that happen in a lifetime?

[Deep13]

39. Well, I lived in MA in 1988 when Dukakis was governor...

...but I did not live in Boston.

Perhaps OH governor Strickland will run someday. Even if he does, I doubt his HQ will be in this red neck county.

[madinmaryland]

34. No problem! I think all of the toll booth jokes have been told

for both states. Anyhow the states are pretty damn similar, except for the size. Delaware also does not have frederick and hagerstown :scared: .

[Left Is Write]

35. While we're at it, can we please stop picking on Idaho?

Trust me, folks. I am not responsible for Larry Craig!

[Dr. Strange]

36. I wouldn't count on it...

considering what Delaware's number one export is.

[Beer Snob-50]

37. CT is as great state to pick on!

I consider it the vanilla ice cream of states. Very Very boring.

[JVS]

38. FUCK DELAWARE!

[LynneSin]

41. FUCK JVS

nuff said

[KG]

43. i never pick on DE. mostly because there's no there there.

:hi:

[JVS]

44. FUCK YOU!

and your little dog too
;-)

[Susang]

45. Picking on a state is patently ridiculous

It's much better to pick on an individual city, preferably Chicago.

[EstimatedProphet]

47. I wasn't aware Delaware was big enough to be picked on

[mitchum]

48. Stop picking on ...where?

[matcom]

49. I'm not going to pick on them

their pro sports teams KICK ASS!
