It is even more irritating when they get in state-vs-state arguments (Mostly bashing CA) and you can't tell who is who and who is defending what.

Besides, I'm VERY proud to be living in Texas and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Some folks have a very bad reputation on the EE and will leave it blank or "USA" so that it will be a little harder to nail them.

Tommy Haskins from Georgia is one of those people.

Like most high schoolers they failed geography.

Not only can't they find their state on a map, they can't figure out the abbreviation to enter in their profile.

Seriously, its one more peice of information that help people on the internet find where you are.  Its not that hard if you try a little.  But every bit of info helps.

There was this asshat that ripped off $250 on ebay.  I was able to figure out where he worked and where he lived by a little searching and calling the area.

He freaked out when I called him at work and told him for fork over my money.  Then I had the local LEOs visit him at home.

I got my money! and a refund from ebay safe harbor I never cashed.

I am your worst nightmare.  I am from New Orleans.  

I will be glad to come to the meetings as long as you don't mind me shooting all your ammo, eating all your food, drinking all your booze and making passes at all your women.  

My most agregious sin is the fact that I have, on occasion, been capable of making East Texas Tornado Chili better than many Texans.  

I attribute this to the fact that I come from a multi-national family.  That is to say, multi-national because my mother was born in East Texas and my father was born in New Orleans.

My uncle on my mother's side ate a bowl of the afore mentioned chili and criticized it mildly for having a cajun twang.  He then proceeded to eat another 4 bowls.  I took this as a possible indication that East Texas Tornado chili is more better with a cajun twang.

Katrina did not bring me here.  I have lived here for 14 years.
