When I hear "New Jersey" I think of Bruce Springsteen and the mob.

When I hear "Kansas" I think of IN COLD BLOOD and THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Your turn.

When I think of Kansas I think of really bad arena rock.

All we are is dust in the bin.

I have never EVER dealt with Toll Lines in Delaware - wait, I'm from Delaware and I'm not some dumbass that actually takes that route when driving to Maryland.

10. Have I got news for you. There is this big highway in your state called Interstate 95.
When I drive to important places, like New Jersey, it is the route to take.

Now, Maryland has tollbooths, too! But they don't have the big backup traditional in Delaware. That is strictly a local custom. Of course, Delaware misses the opportunity to sell use things from their tax-free outlets while we are stuck in line, so it is an opportunity missed for vendors of all kinds.

15. Like I said have you been in Delaware
It's a 5 lane highway now.

Please get your head out of your ass before assuming shit.

Last time I did go thru the tollway (which my friend was driving the car or I would have gone the back route), it took us a whole 2 minutes to get thru the tollbooth and this was the Wednesday after Inauguration during rush hour and no, I don't have EZ Pass.

12. When I think of Chicago....
When I think of Chicago I think of "Someday" and "Dialog, Parts I & II".

When I think of Boston, I think of "Amanda" (and my very fist ever slow dance way back in 1980)

13. New Jersey = Pollution
Kansas makes me think of the giant John Brown mural in their state capitol building. He looks psychotic. It's wonderful.

16. LOL.
Edited on Mon Feb-09-09 01:49 PM by BeachBaby
Your profile says you're in Illinois. Did you know that Illinois has higher pollution levels than New Jersey and several other states? You can find it all at the EPA website.

Just sayin'. :)

Edited for incorrect agency.

17. More in what way?
Edited on Mon Feb-09-09 02:27 PM by Radical Activist
Illinois is a much larger state. So more pollution doesn't equal a more polluted environment unless we're talking pollution per capita or per acre.

Besides, there isn't a single factory in my town or most Illinois towns.

20. Most of NJ is not polluted
And much of it is quite rural and pretty. I guess you haven't been here, or you've only seen Newark airport.

23. No problem
I'm always happy to stick up for NJ.

When LeftyMom came out to NJ for our wedding, she even said that it was very nice.
