I just want to put Guy Fieri in a mason jar with Gordon Ramsey and shake it, just to see what will happen. Read more

yeah, having been a college student in Central PA (Go hard big Dick!), I kept thinking "as terrible as this is, I think people are underestimating the American Gladiator esque course that one must complete just to get some goddamn Yuengling outside of a bar"... Read more

I knew you'd understand. Only MENSA members are allowed to vote in their polls so...yeah...there's no way it's racist. Read more

Though this would be suitable attire, I would imagine.

Well, sure, those scientists who support that seekret Kenyan Mooslem want you to believe this. But the same people who say the birth certificate is real say that GMOs are okay and they're all clearly on the take! Read more

and don't forget, you can only buy beer by the case (from specific beer stores), or at least that's how it is in eastern PA. Wine is sold only in the rare liquor store. I still have PTSD from my 3 years there. It was so bad I ended up fleeing the country altogether. Read more

When I was young my mother was offered a farm in central PA... She turned down a free farm because "There wouldn't have been anything for you or your brother to do other than drugs in the barn." Read more

So if I showed up in this, I'd get kicked out, right?

Oh my god this state. The government around here is so strapped for cash and hamstrung by general anti-government sentiment that they can't fulfill even basic functions such as "plow roads when it snows" and "have police available in case a random stray dog starts jumping on kids at public events".

I went to school in central PA. My boyfriend, a Swede, came to visit me there for a month. He decided to walk to the grocery store (first mistake), dressed like a typical Swede — brightly colored skinny chinos with a equally brightly colored plaid buttondown. Read more

You think the PA billboards are bad? Try Florida (where everything is worse), but in Florida, it really is basically: Find Jesus or die in the Hellfire, or Cummmm in to Rub 'n Tugggs Big Jugggs Happy Ending Truck Stop. Read more

People get addicted to painkillers because they are in a lot of pain and doctors over-prescribe them until a person is addicted. Now someone who is addicted can't get their… Read more

I went to school in central PA (Clinton County) and dated a man from Altoona (Allegheny County which is further West) for years. It's fucking insane how much Pennsyltucky is like a different planet. The level of ignorance that prevails where politics, civil rights, science and book learnin' are concerned is… Read more

On the other hand, have you ever been to rural Pennsylvania? Read more

Wow. Initially glancing at it, I though this was the dress code for the servers, given what a casual kind of place it must be, where it seemed quite reasonable, if random (forward facing hats, but no backwards facing hats?). As a dress code for customers this is just weirdly random and totally racist. It's not like… Read more

they said 1998, not 1973. Read more

"clinical Hulkamania" Lol'ed so hard I snorted. <3 Read more
