Oh, man. These "You Know Where You're From..." things are histerical. I picked some of the best of the various places that I lived, and a few from where I didn't but still apply.

But first the New York one for Upstate kinda sucked because it didn't say "THERE'S A WHOLE FUCKING STATE BESIDES THAT CITY, YA KNOW!", but that maybe one of my little quirks. That and Syaracse is CENTRAL not UPSTATE... I haven't lived there for four years and it still bothers me.

This was all cheerfuly nicked from here.
