HRH Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Well I am just floored. Forget about Oklahoma. I was digging around on the internet and was looking at the moron that is Sarah Palin, and I found out she was born in Sandpoint, Idaho. Motherfucker. Just when I thought Idaho was clear. Oh no. No wonder there are all the public service ads suggesting Idaho get to an educated state. Been a big push to not fall behind Alabama. (Actually I'm not sure where we are on the list, but it has been near the bottom.) And yes, I'm in Washington, but I grew up in Coeur d' Alene. Sandpoint is an hour north. Link to comment

laotsu Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I am not ashamed to admit that Fordlover McFuckstick trolls me like no other. Maybe it's the stink of the paper mill or the lack of economy but that guy just epitomizes You-Reeka. Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I wouldn't mind checking out Utah, Ohio is gods country wish all Californians would move back to upstate New York Link to comment
laotsu Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Utah is nice but it gets a little boring and there are weirdo religious fanatics there who are numerous enough to swing the vote in odd ways (plus they believe their underwear is magical) never been to Ohio but seems like Gummo and American Splendor's Harvey Pekar can't be too inaccurate. yeah I know more than one kid whose folks came out here in the Summer of Love from New York and never went back. Seems like there are more jews in Sebastopol than Brooklyn. I like to greet 'em with an Assalam O Alaikum and see how they react. Link to comment

Dolomite Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 wish all Californians would move back to upstate New York My main hatred goes to the assholes that move from that cesspool known as LA to ''get away from it all'', then buy their way onto a small town's board of supervisors and try to run amok with huge shopping centers and big box stores. These idiots supposedly hated city life but feel the need to turn the town into the abortion they left. Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Everyone who visits Utah does it for all of the places that most people don't live. The landscape is fantastic. I stopped in SLC overnight when I was moving to Colorado. Actually spent 1 1/2 days there. Gorgeous. Snow-capped mountains 360*. The streets downtown, every street, is 6 lanes wide-most one ways.And they sparkle; like diamonds. Everything is covered in marble. All different colors. Weird art everywhere, but all really neat. It felt like the .0001% that are above the rest of the 1% made their own little sandbox. If you have never been it is hard to describe. It is a mind-fuck. Retro-money everywhere, over-populated by Amish runaways. Not a cop to be seen anywhere. After checking out THAT aspect I went and grabbed my BMX bike from the hotel. As fast as I bunny hopped on to marbled ledge 5 unmarked cars all blazed with berries and cherries. Not like Crown Vics and Chargers unmarked. Tahoes with soccer-mom stickers. Lowered Civics. A beetle. A mid-80's Chevy pickup. You will NEVER see them coming. You can't buy alcohol within city limits after 10:00PM. My hotel room overlooked the Morman temple. I had to pass it every time I wanted to go anywhere. Most of the buildings are all 2 or 3 stories tall. But 5 stories deep. All roads led to Union Station. Link to comment
q-tip Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Its an odd place for sure, I only drove thru it once. Wouldn't mind going back though. My step dads brother lives there and has for probably 20 years. I want go do some wheeling at moab and such, nice leasurly off-road driving. Link to comment
