[QUOTE=Spidey] great grey north: Toronto I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto. The cool kids referred to it as T-dot. After living here for 3 years, I felt I might be a bit of a poser saying I was from toronto. Thus, I thought it was enough to imply that I was from Canada. After all, we’re all the same to you, AREN"T WE YOU YANKEE BASTARDS!?!?! [/QUOTE] Not true, we know Canadians are broken up into four almost distinct groups. The Anglo-Canadians are those we like and respect, even though you talk a little funny. We basically think of this group as being American and pretend to be Canadian when we travel in certain parts of the world. (Especially France) The Natives that are called Native Americans or even Indians by the average American. The Inuit that the average American still refers to as Eskimos. Of course, the average American probably thinks they still live in igloos year round. Then their are the French Canadians, as they speak French, we good loyal Americans are of course suspicious of the motives, language and know that they probably support and harbor terrorist. 😉 Jim ---

[QUOTE=congodwarf] I used to be more specific. It said Chicopee. If you Google Chicopee, you will know exactly where I live. I’m not aware of any others. Even if there are, mine comes up first. [/QUOTE] I hear “Chicopee county” in Olympia Dukakis’s accent from **Steel Magnolias**. ---

As if people from Kansas aren’t sick to death of hearing “Whoa, you’re from Kansas? How’s Toto? I bet those ruby slippers are a convenient way to get home! Heh heh” from everybody on the entire planet, some years ago the state tourism board decided that [Land of Ahs](http://www.kshs.org/portraits/wizard_of_oz.htm) would be a wonderfully clever slogan. It wasn’t. They’ve now rolled out the catchy “Kansas - as big as you think” which has inspired “Kansas - as bigoted as you think” bumper stickers. ☹ The tourism board needs to hire some new people. By the way, I’m in Kansas, in case you can’t tell. ---

We’ve been through this before. I chose my “location” because it says more about me than if I’d put the town and state. And nobody outside of my hometown knows where the hell Sterling, Colorado, is anyway. You say “Colorado” and everybody thinks of Ski Country, and we are anything but Ski Country. For you to know exactly where I am, I’d have to list my “Location” as “in the northeast corner of Colorado, almost in Nebaraska,” and that’s just too much to type in that little box. Besides, as has been covered before, if it’s important to the context of a thread to know where posters are from, we say where we’re from. F’rinstance, in the thread begun yesterday about the blizzard that hit Colorado, you know where we’re all from. ---

My location reflects my previous occupation. Since I was always on the road, where I was depended on the day. I often mention my location in my posts, but if there happens to be some intent on doing me dirty, I’m not going to make it easy for them. ---
