Do you associate Thailand and Missouri together?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

LOL yes, always. I wonder if there is anyone outside of the forum that does.

[Free Palestine]

No, but I associate the Thai language with creepy middle-aged men way too much.

[Torie]

No.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No.  Missouri is the worst place on earth.  Thailand can't be that bad. 

[opebo]

No.  Missouri is the worst place on earth.  

Really?  It is bad, but I'm sure there are many worse states.  In fact here is a map - red is better than Missouri, blue is worse than Missouri, and gray is roughly equal to Missouri:

Anyway you're in Western Pennsylvania, right?  I can't really see any way that that is better than Missouri, though I guess Eastern Pennsylvania is slightly better.

Your loyalty to Misery stuns me, but it's actually nice to see, opebo.  SC and MS might be the closest.

Actually Mississippi is much worse and South Carolina might even be better, due to some  beach towns, and Charleston.  The point isn't that I'm defending Missouri, just that it is just another bad state among many in the Bad Place.

Yes, Gramps, SC has Charleston, with Dukie there as a lagniappe to boot (suggesting that perhaps it is even legal for Greeks to live there). What the heck is wrong with you!  :

SC aside, Opebo's map has some merit (his tastes and mine as to aesthetics are not all that disparate), but he is clueless in putting those 4 Western states in the penalty box. Heck, Montana is not even all that GOP! And just because Utah is crawling with Mormons, does not mean that it is not a wonderful state - to visit. To live there might prove to be a personal inconvenience however, so no. But living among the LDS in and of itself does not intimidate me (not much does anymore). Heck, maybe I can convert some of them to my religion.

Oh, and Atlanta really sucks, so no to Georgia - unless we are talking about Savannah. Other than that, no, no, no, no, no!

Other than my fellow Greek, Dukey, SC blows horribly, Torie.  You can keep it.  I'll avoid it and Misery at all costs.

You ever been to Charleston Gramps? If so, what did you find to be suck about it?

I've been to those states, didn't like them.  Most of them have no cities - only big cities are worthwhile, so it is only St. Louis that makes Missouri remotely tolerable.

Nope and I'm not going, I'll take your word for it and just say the rest of it sucks......can we stop now, Torie?

OK Gramps. We are all entitled to our little eccentricities, of which I am sure that I have far more than you in any event. "Normal" bores me.

How did NC make your red list then?  Surely, you are not in love with Charlotte.  And Vermont, NH and Maine (and Delaware too) for that matter.

[opebo]

That's true.. for me those New England states are not much good, but I voted them better in a nod to general opinion, and the likely reaction of the forum.  But on the other hand they're also not that far from Montreal, which is a huge plus. Places like Idaho or Wyoming are so far from anything remotely decent.
