Around the NHL 2017

[Drunkard]

I choose lower seats because I like to watch the game that way, not for the company.

 

Same here, although that's easier to swing when you only go to 1 or 2 games a year (like I used to when I'd go to Raleigh to see the Sabres). My preference is the back row in the 100's section because it's easy to see the entire sheet of ice and it's quick access to the beer lines, the pisser, and the concourse when I need to go outside and grab a smoke.

They still let you go outside to smoke at Canes games?

Once you cross over into Pennsylvania you are in the south and you can smoke anywhere.

 

They allow smoking on planes just flying over Pennsylvania.

South Of Virginia and not including Florida.

South Of Virginia and not including Florida.

Gotta include Virginia. What else would it be? I could see everything south of West Virginia.

 

And yeah 100% no Florida. Has to be east of Arkansas, except Louisiana

I haven't been in a few years now, but I assume so. North Carolina is home to all the RJ Reynolds brands of tobacco (Wistons, Camels, Salem, Pall Mall, Doral, etc.) so I imagine they won't want to ostracize us folks with black lungs.

A know a lot of ppl who don't consider Virginia the South anymore

 

Of course ik some ppl who don't consider NC the South too

[Drunkard]

The south is kind of a relative term. Richmond was the southern capital during the Confederacy but I've heard people in southern Viriginia claim that Richmond and all parts north of Richmond were considered the North to them. Then you talk to some yocal from Alabama or Georgia and they consider people in North Carolina and Virginia to be Yankees for sure. It's all a matter of perspective. The Mason Dixon line puts Marlyland, DC, and Virginia all in the south, but I see Maryland and Pennsylvania as more Northern states than Southern ones.

Virginia is definitely the South.  UVA is even nicknamed "the Harvard of the South."

 

DC is right in the middle, which is why Washington is said to have the perfect blend of Northern hospitality and Southern efficiency.

[Drunkard]

It's kind of similar to the term upstate New York. Someone in Watertown (for example) probably doesn't consider a town like Ithaca (another example) to be upstate New York. I was born in Cobleskill though and we've always said we are from Upstate, NY, although that might be just because most people hear New York and automatically assume NYC so upstate is really just a modifer (like central or western) to differentiate from NYC.

These have to be switched, right?

I get it! Because people from the northeast are perceived as rude and people from the south move slower than geriatric porn.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

The Mason - Dixon Line really has nothing to do with the South, especially the Confederacy, no?

 

Was it not a line surveyed to settle a border dispute between the colonies it divides drawn some 100 years before the Civil War?  Especially when PA outlawed slavery.  They needed a clear border and the line is still that border.

Not for DC

[darksabre]

The south starts at Marilla

That is because so many “damn Yankees” have moved there...

So, that means that part of Elma is in the South, eh?

 

Explains a lot.

The dirty talk is the best part of geriatric porn.

 

That's right baby, I'm gonna fill you like a prescription.

 

Then I'm gonna ride you like a bus to Atlantic City.

 

Oh wait ..... I'm about to ....... uh .... Bingo!

Are you using the map you made for Eleven from however long ago? I remember it having dragons, Russia, and Canada rounding out the NY State map (outside of the city limits of Buffalo of course).

[North Buffalo]

Hey I live in Northen Westchester and people from Manhattan think I live upstate. Ive always maintained you need to live north of Middleton to be considered upstate. But these folks dont have a clue how big NYS actually is.

Traditionally, the Mason-Dixon line is the South (see also: Dixie). Since the US Civil War, Maryland has been disowned as they didn't commit treason against the US. As the Northern Virginia suburbs have filled up with city people, many people don't consider it the South, but anywhere outside that area is pretty Southern in practice. West Virginia is not the South, by nature of them seceding from Traitor Virginia during the war and joining the Union.
