    I always say, "It's Colorado, if you don't like the weather, *kitten* you."

    I completely agree with you!!!

    The one I hate is "You live in Colorado? Does it snow all the time?"

    Me: "No, you moron. We have at least 320 days of FULL sunshine each year!"

    Oh, you live in the desert? It's 115 degrees? But it's a dry heat...

    Yeah, just like turning my blow dryer on full blast in my face is a dry heat...

    Always a classic:

    "I'm from West Virginia."
    "Near Richmond?"

    NO. A THOUSAND TIMES NO.

    New York takes the cake though, I mean do you know how many times i've heard "WOW SO LIKE, WHAT'S IT LIKE LIVING IN SUCH A BUSTLING CITY? DO YOU RANDOMLY MEET CELEBRITIES?"

    Becuase you know, apparently New York = New York City.

    I was still typing as you were posting, lol

    "I don't see how you can live in Las Vegas...all those tourists! And I spend a weekend in Vegas and need a week's vacation to recover!"

    Well, those tourists are what keep me in a job, so I don't 'mind them so much. Not to mention that I don't spend a lot of time on the strip in my spare time. (Although I do live just a few blocks off Las Vegas Blvd... but not the touristy part.) And I'm not spending every spare minute drinking, gambling and partying. I actually LIVE in Vegas. :laugh:

    Originally from Moscow so don't say stupid things like this to other Russians:

    Oh so is it cold all the time (snow all the time)? Um, no. Google it.

    Do you drink a lot of vodka? While this may be true for some Russians, don't assume all drink vodka. Way to stereotype.

    Are you a communist? I just say yes at this point and leave it at that.

    Oh here's a favorite: Do you know my Russian friend so and so? Why yes...it's not like Russia is huge or anything.

    Are you a spy? Just like the communist question...I just say yes.


    I know stereotypes exist for a reason, but come on!

    We call it the Awesomer Carolina. And it is... :laugh:
    Being from NC - I have never heard it called this before. My daughter lives in SC and she doesn't call it that either! LOL
    It's just a joke, to make fun of our governor.

    I live in Idaho. People seem to confuse it with Iowa, and if not, they seem to think I live in the boonies. No. There are cities in my state and it's beautiful. Shhh! That part's a well kept secret! :happy:

    Yes I'm from Iowa and I'm proud of it. No, it isn't the potato state or the buckeye state. No, I don't drive a tractor to work. No, I don't wear bib overalls (except in the 90's when they were in style for a hot second but I choose to block that out of my memory). No we are not all farmers, although we do have some damn good sweet corn!

    I am from Alberta, Canada; I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

    :wink:
