Local culture you're proud of

Clearly your local drunks are smart.

A brighter future for a darker age.

I guess nobody wants to know anything about Georgia...

I love Louisiana culture. So much great food; beignets, crawfish, gumbo, red beans, etc. Jazz is cool too. I love going to the New Orleans French Quarter.

As for cons, well, I hate driving in New Orleans, and it's so full of crime that I don't ever want to actually live there, as fun as it is to visit occassionally. And while everybody is thinking of it, I find Bourbon Street to be incredibly overrated; the entire street stinks of horse crap and tourist pee/vomit. The only good part of Bourbon Street is that it is pretty much the only place to get a hand grenade, which is an awesome drink.

@Grimview: Yeah, Drunkscriblerian is born and raised Washingtonian.

Wuggles: Well, the devil did go down there...

re: Devin Townsend: Yes, yes he is. However, he's not so much a cultural export that most people are aware of as he is a very niche export.

Still awesome, though.

DG: I kinda figured he was based on the way he talks, but ya never know. (Pretty much all Pacific Northwesters have a common way of talking. That includes BC.)

Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't good!

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.

True, but Devin Townsend's music is just as polarised as opinions of him are.

That needs to be a porno if it isn't already.

Considering Georgia is already a name, I think "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is one of the only Parallel Porn Title that doesn't have to be changed.

... Seeing as the book is sitting on my coffee table, I wonder if someone's done a parallel porno of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential?" You really wouldn't need to change that name.

Culturally, most of western Washington is more similar to BC than to the rest of the United States. At least that's the impression I get.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

Most of Washington, Oregon and BC are more similar to each other than to the rest of their respective countries, full stop. (In my experience, the bits of BC east of the Rockies are an exception. Unsure if that's the case south of the border.)

I specified western Washington because the parts east of the Cascades are much different. They are politically more conservative, and they actually think that WSU is a good college (sorry, a bit of rivalry there).

"The Devil Went Down on Georgia." Boom.

Also, there is that awesome train that leaves every midnight that directly runs back and forth from L.A. to Georgia.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that in a store before.

And thus, the world has come full circle. And Everybody Lives.

Porno Titles are like Rule 34. If it exists, someone has already made a porno with a sexual version of the name.

And, really, "The Devil Went Down On Georgia" is too obvious for someone to not have done it. In fact, whoever made it probably started with the name and worked from there.

So, in the U.S., randomly stripping is a signal that you want to sing the national anthem? - That Human

I'm surprised no one here thought of it before I did. It'd be like someone not being able to think of a porno title for "Come On Eileen".

I like the local accent. It's like a Philadelphia accent, but much subtler and more refined.

And yes, the IPA for the way I say "water" would be something like /'ʍʌɾəɽ/. *

I don't care. It sounds awesome.

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

BIRMINGHAM INVENTED MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

FUCK YES, BITCHES.

It also helped invent, you know, dying from coal exposure and overwork in unregulated factories.

Birmingham was the pilot project for modern China.

I know what it invented, thank you.

Birmingham did socialism before it was cool.

... That is not socialism. -_-

From a certain perspective, it was.

Birmingham Corporation nationalised various local enterprises, like coal, steel, electricity, and water.

It then embarked on a programme of localised welfare; providing social housing, and investing heavily in free social services, like libraries, and the University of Birmingham.

... You're still acting as if local government had never existed before.

Except that, you know, every city ever had local government.
