New to Delaware

Well, we just moved to Delaware, and here are all the haps! Watch as I give you a very descriptive tour of my house, a fascinating history of a pageant in Nebraska, and as I--well, that's it.

leave our state

you aren't one of us

[IanInDE]

Righteo. Shouldn't be too hard: just gotta hop in the car and drive for 2 hours in any direction, and I'll end up in another state (or have drowned).

[lecter316saysfuckyou]

This is a prime example of the Pussification of Delaware

25 years ago Delaware was a small, tight-knit group of drunken, drug using hillbillies with a northern accent

All these fucking carpetbaggers are moving to Delaware and increasingly pussifying the state into some northern / Rust Belt piece of shit

[IanInDE]

Aww, you're too kind, sir! Nothing quite like the rustic, hospitable demeanor exhibited by all Delawarians.

If it'd please you, next time I see a clannish group of doped-up guys talking about the good old days--1982--I'll be sure to just walk away.

For the record, although Nebraska is technically more northern than Delaware, most people don't consider it a "northern" state. I'm a Westerner at heart.

[lecter316saysfuckyou]

have you found all Delawarians to be assholes?

I'd love to hear tales of my people culture clashing with you

[IanInDE]

Naw, actually. In all seriousness, all but a handful of them have been very kind and generous!

But if you'd like, I will share a tale of culture clashing with you, one from a vault of, uh, maybe two accounts of culture clashes.

Once I asked someone what their favorite "pop" was. They had no idea what I was talking about! Whoa! Turns out that Midwesterners call carbonated beverages "pop," and Easterners call it "soda"!

[IanInDE]

Let's see... What else do I have? That's really about it. There are definitely a lot less cowboy boots around here. And, um... more...Sunsations stores?

It's kind of bittersweet, really. With the advent of the Internet, radio, and television, subcultures are all kind of melding into one culture. I could mention "Soulja Boy" to any tweenage kid in Nebraska and get the same response as I can here.

And it's not just in America that it's happening--the world is unifying in culture.

oh lecter! u just got BURNED! nebraska style!

[lecter316saysfuckyou]

oh and if it helps, I've a 200 dollar pair of cowboy boots and live in a trailer on 40, where Stephen Pennel struck and the niggers and whites have shootings on each other (GTC and BMF)

[lecter316saysfuckyou]

Sucks, I like to travel and experience the nicer attitudes of people out west, I haven't been to Nebraska, but Kansas and Oklahoma, which I'd assume are similar, people are alot nicer

then again you look like a nice guy overall, but people can tell I'm an asshole right away, perhaps that had it's hand in the lack of culture clash

[IanInDE]

Thanks for the welcome, Soulpurger! It's definitely a bajillion times more exciting than the rustic antics of Nebraska, I tell you what.

[IanInDE]

Indeed! Also: CHICKENS.
