Interesting map of the U.S. Regions might be a better word choice than Nations. I'd agree with this somewhat, but it's always tough to assign a name/identity to a large group of people.


What's going on with Western Canada? Calgary is in no man's land apparently.

Are the two disparate New France locations really that similar? I have my doubts...

I saw this map related to the attitudes of gun users, by region.

Hey there's Canada spots in there too. Get that manifest destiny crap outta this forum bro!

Eh, the Texas border between New Appalachia and the Deep South isn't accurate. As was put eloquently by someone else in a different thread months ago (I think it was Sixpackshaker), The "South" ends at I-45.

New Netherland?

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can't say. People just liked it better that way.

Yeah, I would imagine that these two would not have a lot in common (food, language, or politics).

Can't help but think of this every time I hear that song:

This kind of thing crops up every once in a while. I've decided our country is just to stubborn to break up with itself, no matter how crazy we make each other.

We have once, already. Killed over half a million of us to put it back together again.

They're certainly no Fuddonna.

I probably have a dozen or more VHS cassettes with that show recorded in SLP. Ones where I sat there and edited out the commercials by pausing during the recording.
I was trying to collect the mystery credits from every show.

Actually, more than half the casualties were Union. And more than half of those died not to the gunshot, but to the infections and diseases that came afterwards.

They Might Be Giants, one of my personal favorite bands. You probably know them as the guys who did the Malcolm in the Middle theme.

Bowielee, I think he was quoting the show. It was part of the bumper before the second song when Buster says "Who are these guys?!?"

You should fix that.

[edit] It will add many additional layers to Breaking Bad.

Agreed. Malcolm in the Middle was a great show. Netflix has every season on instant watch last I checked, too.

I keep thinking the title to this thread is "11 nation nap." "That must have been a relaxing train ride."

Maybe I just need more sleep.

Lemme take a look and make sure it's still there...

Yup, it is.
