The invisible borders that define American culture.

[Will E Worm]

why don't u just move to canada?

Why? I like the South and Midwest. Canada is not too fond of free speech or guns.

Because Canada won't let him in.

They would be better with me.

I am agree with this statement.

Thanks. :hatsoff:

The invisible borders that define American culture.

Where corn grows, and where corn don't grow.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hatin' on PA. It's just that cultural divide called the water gap, that isn't that wide, takes you to a whole new land. I used to go to the OTB in East Strasburg with a buddy that lived out there. 5 minutes over the bridge and you are in Podunk with the pickup trucks with gun racks. I roll my own smokes so I hit Morrisville for the tobacco. $13 for a bag vs $45 in NJ so I load up on my way to Philly Park. I wear my Mets jacket there just to hear the Philly fans bust my balls. I tell them at least they aren't Yankee fans, the lowest form of scum on earth and they agree. The women in PA are awesome. Not nearly as tight assed as Jersey or NY women. Not just the ones my age but the younger ones too.

Oh no no, I wasn't thinking you were hatin on PA. I found it interesting that you knew about the drastic differences in different PA areas and NJ. A lot of people don't know about it. Some people will go to Lancaster and think that all of PA is like that, or go to Philly and think all of PA is like that.
And you paid that much for tobacco? Jesus! How much tobacco are you getting for that amount? When I rolled my own, it was like... $4 per bag.

Yes! That's perfect.

$13 is for the big 15oz. bag. I can get nearly 3 cartons out of those. That $45 lb. price came about a few years ago when the feds put a $25 per lb. tax on cigarette tobacco. The tobacco companies made a slightly different cut and bags it as pipe tobacco. Pipe tobacco was not hit with this tax and it's the same smoke for 1/3 the price.

Puerto Rican dude at work wanted to buy a house in the Poconos many years back. Told me his day was filled with hate looks from everyone. Live there? Shit, he won't even pass through it any more.

Had a chance to transfer to Florida and I'm doing my research on living down there. I ask a buddy that had lived there and he gave me this advice: Anything within 10 miles of I95 is fine. Anything beyond that is like the movie Deliverance. Don't go out there.

Wow, that's expensive. I can't remember what brand I used to buy when I rolled my own, but I also didn't have those kits to roll the cigarettes with filters. I bought tobacco and rolling papers (those little zig-zag papers) and rolled them by hand. I smoked much less when I did that because it's a lot more harsh, it's very strong, there's no filter, so just a few puffs of that and I was good for at least another 2 hours or so. One of my friends of the time had one of those rolling kits so I used it to roll a few, and good lord that things used at least double the amount of tobacco per cigarette than I used to roll my own.

Mustard on a burgher. First time I got one of those at a fast food joint was a culture shock.

I used to go to Nazareth for CART races quite often. Where does it fall? More like Lancaster, I'm guessing? :dunno: I always liked going to that area. I'm sorry that the track is now gone.
