My high school had a guy with swastikas carved (scar tissue) into every one of this knuckles. Long story short, don't write, "Go home n******" with spray paint on a school wall when there is an urbanization of the area happening due to Baltimore expansion or some kid that looks 95% like you will be left in a bloody pulp in the hallway and you'll have to move from the area for safety concerns.

Pennsyltucky happened. Nothing says, "this is what racial tensions were like in the late 80s/early 90s" like growing up in an area still living through the racial tensions of the 80s/90s. I grew up in part of the bible belt, but not located in the bible belt.

Probably should blame the Amish for slowing down the area.

google bible belt. least US immigrants and 99% of counties are southern baptist.

that's not Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is extremely forward thinking, very green, friendly, walker/biker friendly (weather permit), etc... It's almost an east coast portland, minus the hipsters with a lot more college students. I grew up in York County PA. About 10-15 minutes above the mason dixon line. 2/3 of york county is called, "Southern York County" for a reason. Also, fun fact, York city is a very dangerous U.S. city per capita and it's a barely a city. The area has a lot of Baltimore commuters from the housing boom. The influx of total population was astounding and seemed to happen over night... traffic issues everywhere because the area couldn't handle the volume. It has now benefited from the extra income and I think is starting to progress as youth grow up without the stereotypical influences that were unavoidable in my life. I had great parents that raised me well (my mom kept me very open minded and left wing grounded) and I'm happy to be out of the area, but miss my family.

I'll admit, I was thrown the first time i saw a baby blue bandanna that didn't even come off for gym class. Took two weeks (no lie) before the administration realized what all the colored bandannas meant.

I remember when i was in elementary school and some older kid (middle school I think) approached me and asked me if I banged and I said yes because I thought it sounded cool even though i had no idea what it meant. I was with my friend at the time and he knew what the older kid was saying and he was like like no no no. Those were the days.

When I was in 6th grade, this hillbilly offered me coke on a bus ride back from school. he lived 1.5 miles up the street from my house and was sitting in the front of the bus because he got in trouble.

5 years later he held his gf hostage in his house and threatened to shoot paramedics. Had a nice little stand off. I assume he's still in jail or something.

Red necks man. They love their land, guns, and idea of the 1950s.

I workout at 6 am so I usually take a dump before I go to bed or else it ends up ruining my workout halfway through. Post workout protein really gets my stomach rumbling though, I'm in the bathroom no longer than 30 minutes after I drink my shake.

Two midterms coming up this week. Not difficult classes compared to other quarters so I have been procrastinating a lot.

What happened to tasp? Did he finally kick the bucket?
RIP our only Canuck :usa:

The last I heard, Tasp was off to Miami, I think Florida claimed him. I will eagerly wait for his 48 minutes episode.
