    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:

    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...
    Someone said that to me just the other day...and I laughed and said 115 is hot no matter what. And when friends visit, and see a jacket in the closet..they want to know why? You live in the desert? Well duh but 50 or 60 is still cold hahahha.

    "You're from Minnesota? You don't sound like the movie Fargo!"

    No, no one sounds like that unless they are from the WAY north.

    I get this one all the time and I'm from Wisconsin! Only Southern people say that I DO sound like the movie Fargo! Grrr

    An oven is dry heat too - that doesn't mean I stick my head in it! (At least not willingly...) 115 is hot even for us Phoenicians!

    Try being from Phoenix. Everybody says, "Oh, but the summers aren't too bad, right? It's a dry heat." Yes, a dry heat that makes you feel like you're being cooked in a freaking oven, thank you very much. :explode:

    Stop comparing your stupid 90-degree/high-humidity summers to our 115 temperatures, okay? There is no comparison. Period. :grumble:

    I've been to Phoenix... it's so freakin hot there they moisten you as you come out of public buildings. lol

    "So, you're from Missour-a?" No, I'm from Missouri"

    There's an "i" on the end not an "a" or an "uh". Thanks George W. for getting it wrong every time.

    THANK YOU!!! I'm originally from Missouri and that irritates the crap out of me. There's no "a" in Missouri!

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

    Hear this all the time!!!! Hot is hot! It being dry doesn make it any better!


    I hate it when idiots say that "dry heat" thing so they can make their cold weather seem hotter:)

    Rosie O said when she visited Phoenix "yes, it is a dry heat like sticking your head in a oven ...on broil"

    I mainly hear this from people who live in my hometown of Nashville, TN... they don't seem to remember that I lived there too for about almost 30 years and then in Houston which is hotter and more humid and definitely FEELS hotter in Phoenix, AZ than anyplace that I have ever lived and not because I have forgotten what it is like lol.

    Another thing my stupid "late" M-I-L said (she's from New England and never traveled much) "do you guys have paved roads and highways and buildings in Phoenix"??? What a dip ****!

    "There's nothing in Indiana but corn"....

    That's not true!

    wait....

    yeah it is :grumble:

    "There's more than corn in Indiana,
    it's the best part of Americana,
    and it's right within your reach...
    it's Indiana Beach!"
    "CAW CAW"

    You might be too young to remember that commercial. lol

    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!"

    Or...at what elevation do the deer turn into elk or elk into moose?

    "I''ll bet you can hunt right out your back door!"

    I grew up in Connecticut. Not rich, not a snob, and no, I don't know Martha Stewart. :P

    Now I live in Portland, Oregon. It's "Or-ah-GIN", like "Begin". And as for our river, it's Will-AM-ette, dammit, not Will-OM-ette, dommit.

    You've got the Willamette correct, but not the Oregon. It's pronounced as if it's spelled Orygun.

    Gets me every time when newcomers to Oregon bi#*% about the rain. Really? You mean...you didn't research the place before you moved here?

    The rain (or at least the rivers and the green scenery) is one of the main reasons we moved to Oregon! :smile:

    Let's hope it keeps most other people away. :laugh:

    Awwww, man, I love you! :happy:
