That aint small my town has a pop of five Thousand prople
It really sucks especally when you main source of income during the summer are stuid tourist that are traveling through. I just like watching the Texans as they travel through. The tourist are the reason that i try to stay in my house cause it is annoying and funny to watch a big ass van with texas plates screech to a stop with tewenty people getting out of the van to take a picture of a god dam deer. It is just so funny

[volleyballchic_101]

yeah you have a small town but are town is a railroad town and once all the mills closed our town went down. you can also get out of being tardy by saying "oh the train stopped me"

You know you're from Massachusetts when:
1. you say wicked
2. you don't pronounce your R's and you hate it when people try to imitate the Boston accent.
3. you drink from a bubbler, not a water fountain
4. subway is a fast food place. Those trains are called the "T"
5. you know how to pronounce cities such as Worcester, Billerica, and Haverhill.
6. you travel to NH to save a hundred dollars on sales tax

you glare at the the water canal that runs through the farms because it is stealing all of our water and giving it to LA so the rich people can wash their cars for the 3rd time this week

Yes my town has that problem but here it is so people that live in the same City as Dudeincolorado and probably inculding Dudeincolorado where they steal the water from the Arkansas river.

You know you have been in Colorado when you no longer pronounce you T's

Some of those are good. I actually hate shopping at the King of Prussia mall. I already hate shopping, and the KoP mall just makes it worse. It's so overwhelming. Suburban Square is nice though. I got my ipod from the apple store there. For us, 7th grade is also bar/bat mitzvah season. My bar mitzvah was actually in September, so I guess I break the rules

[paradoxgirl]

i absolutly adore the kop, and suburban square is so boring. ever been to narberth?

[eyeball138]

Yeah, I have. I lived in Merion until I was one and a half. Since Narberth is only about 20 mins away from me, I go there occasionally. I don't go shopping there though if that's what you're asking. In fact, I try to avoid shopping altogether.

[paradoxgirl]

narberth is like my haven. and if u dont like shopping, there is something wrong with you. you are of absolutly no help to the economy. way to support your country! and merion is like 10 minutes to narberth walking...
