I've always wanted to see utah

Reason #16: Sabre has always wanted to see Utah

But in all seriousness, it would be great if we could all get together for the premier, even though that might be difficult for everyone to do

Maybe someday we'll have to have get-togethers at various locations for everyone

Oh, now that beats Ohio!

- We have the Colorado River, which has some of the best river rafting in North America

So? We have the Ohio river thats so polluted if you stuck a raft in it the acid water would melt it and burn it to ashes!

Reminds me of this, infact it seems quite true for me when I read the Cincinnati and Ohio one; http://www.blogthings.com/wherefrom.html

Heres ones I found so true about living in Ohio for me:
You Know your from Ohio when:
-You're proud of your state fair, but would rather go to Cedar Point.
-You know what a buckeye really is, and have a recipe for candy ones.
-Toward the lake" means "north" and "toward the river" means "south."
-You root for a college team though you've never taken a class there.
-You always visit more than two amusement parks in one summer.
-Vacation" means spending a day at Cedar Point or King's Island.
-Down south to you means Kentucky.

Ones I find so true about being near (not actually in.) Cincinnati.
-Your idea of a three-way is chilli over spaghetti topped with cheddar. (Oh very very true!)
-You hate Cleveland, but you don't know why, and you've never been there
-You say "Please?" instead of "Excuse me?"
-You think Northern Kentucky is part of Ohio
-You've been to California, Wyoming, Coney Island, and Over-the-Rhine in one day
-You think Dayton is a Third World country
What groundhog? It's the St. Patrick's Day parade leprechaun that forecasts how much longer winter will last.
-Losing football teams draw more fans than winning baseball teams.
-Indiana is about 20 miles away, but it takes about four hours to get there. (oh Gawd I know!)
-It's too cold in the winter, and too hot and humid in the summer, to ever stay outside for very long. (Too true!)
-You drive to Columbus or Louisville to avoid the prices at the Cincinnati airport. (I had been to Columbus several times this summer just because of the airport.)
-City council members hold debates on whether or not they should debate in the first place.
-You ask lifetime residents where the President Taft house is, but they don't know either.
-If you do something -- anything -- in public long enough, sooner or later it will be banned.
-Your low-fat diet is never low enough to exclude Graeter's ice cream.
-If necessary, the city could easily be sliced into two new cities: East and West, and it would take 20 years for anyone to notice something happened.
-Chocolate and cinnamon, not peppers and beans, are in your chili.
-You can drive 30 minutes in any direction to hear a different accent than your own.
-If the temperature hits 45 degrees, and the sun comes out in any month between November and April, people walk around downtown wearing shades and no jackets.
-Any carbonated beverage is a "coke."
-You have more stadiums, coliseums, and arenas than you know what to do with.
-You have friends and neighbors with names like Machenheimer, Guckenberger, Schlottman, Schoenling, and Schweitering.
-An all-boys or all-girls school doesn't seem that odd to you
-You think Kentucky is only slightly more civilized than Afghanistan.
-You know in which state the Greater Cincinnati Airport is located.
-You actually understand the word, "CRAVE" and white castle burgers. ( Oh I know!)
-You can almost name the seven "hills" minus one or two.

Heh, I seemed to copy almost all of the things in the articles, you can find the full thing under Ohio and Cincinnati.

Those are good! Here's some I remember from a book called Green Jello and Carrots: The Truth About Utah (or...something to that effect, heh)
- In Moab, the bicyclers aren't worried about looking gay in their tight black shorts
- The guy driving the RV looking for petroglyph's isn't worried about looking gay if he looks at the male bicyclist in tight black shorts
(ones I know, kinda applies to most of Utah)
- People don't pronounce the t's in words like kitten, mittens, or mountain
- People say "crick" instead of "creek"
- Minivans are everywhere!!!!
- In the rural areas, huntin' reigns supreme over all else

I'll stop there. If I go on, I'll start bashing on people that don't need to be bashed on

One's a Utah joke anyhow and it's amazing how many Utards, I mean Utahns don't understand it

Oh, my boss is from Ohio. Around Cleveland (she loves the buckeyes) and it was her dream to move to Moab. She hates hiking any trails here that are green because if she "wanted green she would've stayed in Ohio"... She's really outdoorsy though and nice

Stay away from st.louis if all possible because this wouldn't be a good place for a pack meet at all

I live in Dayton and...that's so true. I can't breath in the mornings.

Aww poor Hamster

My boss lived around Cleveland by a tire factory. She told me she grew up thinking the smell of the tire factory was normal.

I think Cedar point is in Ohio after thinking about it for a while

Teh_DarkJokerWolf · Post by **Teh_DarkJokerWolf** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 12:53 pm

I just thought of something that would be cool: Why not have a pack meet One halloween? I think that would be the coolest thing

Set · Post by **Set** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 4:12 pm

Sounds good. But there's still the issue of where. I can't go any farther away than Atlanta.

Teh_DarkJokerWolf · Post by **Teh_DarkJokerWolf** » Sat Oct 15, 2005 12:07 pm

We need to have a more concetrated disscusion on this, because this would be the coolest thing if we could make it happen....oh yeah
