Hmmm…Pennsylvania, well, we’ve got Rick Santorum?
As long as we’re on the subject of my home state, I think that “Meth lab siezed” could also pretty easily be Pierce County, Washington. I’m always a little chagrined by how often it is the location on COPS nowadays.
Am I the only one who read the O and the T as the Olsen Twins?
:eek: :eek: :eek:
My first thought was…
“Oh my Og! Please help those poor folks! NOTHING could be worse than that!”
(And BTW, I’m Texas born and bred. I’m sorry that I hate this place, but I do, so bash all you like. I’m sure everyone was just waiting for my approval.)
How about Massachusetts…
Well, we’ve got the Bulger brothers and a town named Belcher.
Mr. Rilch: “That could just as easily be West Virginia. Try ‘Seven injured in brawl at hockey game.’”
Me: “Okay. Now what would you have for Pittsburgh?”
Mr. Rilch: “…“Union official missing; police suspect foul play.”?”
The way someone from Massachusetts told me, there’s a town called Belcher and a town called Athol. Route 202, the road connecting them, is called the Alimentary Canal.
Louisiana
Hawaii
Rhode Island
That was easy!

C’mon, how about Detroit-specific? Do Detroit!
Hmmm…
Fistfight Erupts at City Council Meeting; 3 Injured, Mayor’s Bodyguard Arrested
I didn’t read the full story. What happened, did the team not make state this year, or was there an irrational reason for the killing?
That was in Wisconsin, it was 6 dead, and the shooter was from Minnesota.
Tho all three of the above-mentioned states are fairly similar in many respects.
Just don’t confuse this Wisconsinite with the folk from Illinois! 
QtM, who’s lived in two of those 3 states, and visited the 3rd one more than once.
Barred from playing any school sports, eh? My guess is that grades went out, kid got caught on the “no pass, no play” rule, and the class he did poorly in happened to be the coach’s. Lord knows my mother’s had plenty of parents threaten her over “giving” their children bad grades over the years, and the athletes’ parents tend to be especially nutty in this regard. Kid lays around and does no work, and it’s the teacher’s fault he gets a bad grade and can’t play. Given how Texans tend to be about their football (they make Kentucky basketball fans look apathetic), it;s easy to see a parent actually getting violent.
Huh. So in addition to gun-totin’, violent and fanatical, lieu proves Texans are also whiny.
Go figure.
And Mike Dukaka. And our drivers, which strike terror in the hearts of Greek cabbies.
Bwahahaha! I hadn’t heard that one before.
You Texans are too high strung. What you need is to go to a few good gay wedding receptions. Loosen you right up.
I just checked several of the news stories on the web and I have to ask you, What fucking AK-47? All of them I read said the shooting was with a pistol, usually saying either it was apparently a .45 or just large calibre. He did apparently have other guns, with the stories ranging from saying he had 2, to saying his pickup truck (located 500 feet from where he had collapsed) was “loaded with guns.”
But none of the stories say anything about the type of gun or guns he had when found, and none say anything about him using an AK-47. So did I miss something, or did you just pull that little rave out of your ass?
BTW, while it is possible to legally own an AK-47 in the United States, it requires an expensive license and I believe a federal background check. If this lunatic actually does have an AK-47, or any other kind of automatic weapon, either the actual rifle or a modified semi-auto version, and doesn’t have the license (doubtful he does, considering what has been revealed of his background) he could easily be facing Federal charges for that.
I guess we know what stereotypes you believe in. :rolleyes:
Speaking of which, here in Ohio, we supposedly voted for Bush. :eek: :smack:
Discussions suggesting the inappropriateness of blaming anyone more than the individual involved a bit too high of a reach for you, eh Bryan Ekers?
To the rest, Friday sucked on 8 levels and sorry if I was touchy. A bad day indeed.
There was a chicken involved with the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. Foghorn Leghorn wanted for questioning.
" I say, the boy had it comin’ to him. He ran into my knife, I say, he ran into my knife nine times. "
That would have been funnier if he’d spelled “foul” as “fowl.” 
Just some friendly, and free, advice. It probably isn’t a good idea to call a ‘gun totin’, violent, fanatic’, whiney.
