I notice you grow a lot of corn in the States…

My lovely coastal city does all sorts of things, but the big Australian state of which it's part does only two really: Mining and wheat farming.
Well it's known for that but there are thousands of head of beef cattle in the north, dairy and sheep in the south etc, ship-building and refitting for the defence industry and the commercial sector, as well as a lot of shipping going through the main port, tourism all over…

But mining is the biggest earner… Mainly steel, but also gold, Bauxite, titanium, diamonds, opals, uranium, tin and other stuff in colossal quantities.

While we may manage to screw up a lot of other things, Americans are quite good at growing things for some reason. Probably because we can turn most of it into stuff that burns, and as has long been established, we have a bit of a national love affair with things that go boom.

I see your Pennsylvania and raise you an Iowa: land of nothing but corn.
And flooded wasteland of what used to be corn.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe: The Anti Sprite Coalition on fire off the shoulder of Cut and Paste. I watched Top Drawer glitter in the dark near the Forumhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like… tears in the rain.

Clever, but not quite like that. Most of my family is super southern, like the Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi Region. They tell me I sound like a yankee.

Well, apart form their native peoples; the Romans? Not as far as Brazil though :)

But the Portuguese discovered a lot of Australia and navigated most of the world before the English and Dutch got there. They were pretty amazing ^_^

You did not discover Africa, you merely sailed around it. And Henry the Navigator? I hear he mostly only navigated in his spare time.

I live in a country that fails at all sports, has a massively high obesity rate, has a ridiculously low intelligence, is highly racist, is okay with teenage pregnancy to the point of it being the norm because of three to four generation fo it happening, has national pride to the point of socially excluding or near killing those that don't think the same, has vicious football violence tactics, and many more bad things including the highest suicide rate in the UK and the most violent country in the Western world based upon the number of violent incidents per head of it's comparatively small population.

New Zealand?

JK.

That's probably the most appealing thing I've ever heard about Nebraska. I like it.

Nebraska! Another 400 miles of the greatest nothing you saw in Iowa!

Toss in the bible thumpers who wander up from the South and the Midwest gets to be a great ol' hot doggin' good time of overzealous religion, corn shuckin' and barn raisin'!

I don't think, in my entire forum posting history (not that there's much, that is :) ), I've ever seen anyone mention that they're from Washington.

Narnia? Someone needs to come out of the closet!

I'm originally from San Diego, CA - born and raised.

Now, I'm living in Pasadena, CA (Los Angeles Area).

When I see Fern, I plan to find out what set(s) he claims!

I'm from Puerto Rico, but we moved to the US. I lived in PR for eleven years and never even knew racism existed until we moved to the States. We got scared into the corner (Florida) and we've lived there ever since. :)

You most certainly are not.

I lived in Minnesota most of my life, but then decided that Minnesota is mind-numbingly boring and moved to Washington for college instead. One of the greatest choices I ever made.

I generally only have one when I'm doing an impression of a Texan (or a Southerner).

As a 2nd generation Austinite myself, I have the right to do that, so nyah! lol!

Also, if I'm talking to someone that has a real thick Texan accent, I might lapse into one (temporarily).
