View Full Version : Where are you from?
Figured we know how old everyone is, but not where they are from.
I was born in St. Louis, MO but moved to Manassas, VA(about 30 miles from D.C.) about 3 years ago.

I was born in San Antonio, Texas, grew up in Amarillo, Texas and live in Arlington, Texas now.
Born near Pittsburgh, and I live near Pittsburgh. I've driven with my family to Florida and back, flew to Florida once, stayed one night in Houston, and spent about a week in Vegas, and I've made two half-week trips to New York City (Manhattan)...other than that, it's all been in PA. :)

I wasn't aware there were places outside of Texas that were worth living in.
I have lived places other than I listed, but other than a stint in Connecticut for about nine months, all the other places were in Texas, too.
I almost moved to Nashville once, though.
I was born in New Jersey, have lived in both Tennessee (Memphis, Nashville) and Texas (Austin), and now I'm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Don't blame ya, Mets suck this year. Last year must have been some kind of fever dream.

I WANT the Red Sox to win it all. I used to be a Dodger fan because I spent so much time in LA, but they look worse every year, it's sickening. Kevin Malone has ruined this team for all eternity!
Red Sox -- definitely. How about a Cubs/BoSox series? Now that would be sweet. The Cubs have waited (if my memory serves me correctly) 93 years for another Championship.
Pigsnie
05-02-01, 09:18 PM
I am so contrarian today. NO! The Red Sox should not go against a pitiful team like the Cubs -- tee hee -- they should face the VILE FILTHY YANKEES, DEMONS MOST FOUL, Who Once were ANGELS BRIGHT, WICKEDNESS INCORPOREAL IN ROGER CLEMENS & JEFFREY MAIER.
Hey Guys,
No way the red sox are going to win it all. They might be in first place now, but things change:D.

I think it can be stated that the NY Yankees are the greatest baseball team, and the ONLY one worth rooting for.
Not only need you think again (or at all, for that matter), of all the teams in Major League Baseball, the Yankees are the only ones I abhor with wrought ire so deep one could never begin to unseat my fury, even for a billion dollars and the chance to marry John Cusack.
The Yankees are no juggernaut; they are a team pretentious lackeys with bats and gloves, a superior manager, and a regular fart for an owner. But, I love to hate them, and it's better to hate them when they're good. So, attribute this to bitterness or attribute it to a need to diametrically oppose my father, take your pick.
And yes, it's lucky that I'm not an O's fan, S., or I'd be crying some serious tears this season.

pardon e moi! John Cusack is extraordinarily funny and though he isn't the most handsome man in Hollywood, he has an amusing intellect that is quite attractive. Looks aren't everything, PLite...He's got a bumbling charm that's incredible. Why else would he play the lead in a bombshell movie like AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS? Certainly not b/c Catherine and Julia got together and decided to pick the hottest actor to makeout with...

I was born in Dorking, Surrey, England, then moved to Niedernhausen, which is near Wiesbaden and Frankfurt am Main in Germany.
My family moved back to the UK in '73, Gomshall to be precise - that's near Guildford, where in '74 a pub was blown up by the IRA.
In 1975 we all moved to Frankfurt am Main, a city with tens of thousands American soldiers, where I lived for the next twenty years.
I moved back to Gomshall after my granny died and stayed there until last year, when I moved to Hamburg, which is where I am right now.
I live in Dundee, Scotland and have done all my life.

Home of:
-- the oldest flag in the nation
-- the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence (July 8, 1776)
-- famed boxer Larry "The Easton Assassin" Holmes
-- Binney & Smith, the Crayola factory (where both Yoda's grandmother and I used to work)
Yeah, exciting. :)
I now live in the western end of the state, in Beaver County, in a little neighborhood called Hunkey Alley ("hunkey" was what they used to call slavic/ethnic steel workers a century ago).
