Yeah, really. How would you have liked being from Long Island right at the time of the Long Island Lolita, Colin Ferguson shooting up the LIRR, and I don’t know what else?

Between this stuff and those idiots on _Jericho_…all eyes are on **YOU** for a change!! 😛

I guess I gotta live with it. 😛 But I _did_ get tired, when in the military, of hearing folks make jokes about “How’s Dorothy?” or, “I’ll get you, and your little dog too!” when they learned I was a Kansan.

Was “Jericho” really as bad as I heard it was? I never saw it.

I guess everybody gets something. For me, it was always “Oh, you’re from Lawn Guyland! Lawn Guyland! Get it? Lawn Guyland!” Yeah, really clever.

Now I get “New Jersey? What exit?” Which explains my location field, and a certain other poster’s username.

And Jericho is horrible, but endlessly entertaining.
