Wanna buy a used Possum Catcher? :D

Does that go in front of the front bumper like a cow catcher on a train? That's a mod i hadn't heard of yet. Must be because we don't have any possums in VT. Marc

[LarryIII]

Psssssst Mitch,

You may notice that the local people are saving & hoarding Dixie cups.
Don't worry about it. They think that this will help them to refinance their efforts to kick us 'dang efeet yankees, off'n' their plantations once and 'fer' all.

I have a few suggestions to make the transition easier for the good ole boys who will be your neighbors.
Get the removable gun rack option for your SVX. Randy can help you find one.
Do not put the 'Possum Pusher on the front bumper. You are not located far enough to the south for that one.
Get a CSA flag license plate for the front bumper.
Learn how to properly pronounce "taint never been no", and work it into your conversations on a regular basis.
As a last resort you may have to change your first name from Mitchell to Billy Joe Bob, or Jerry Lee.

Good Luck.

[kuroneko_sama]

new england consistes of VT, ME, NH, MA, RI and CT.... i personally wouldnt mind commendeering VA and claiming it in the name of New England *Plants Flag* afterall...the amish dont put up much of a fight...so long as you keep harrison ford out of my face. :p

[SVXRide]

Tom,
You're having way too much fun with this thread... :D

Mitch,
I like to think of Maryland as one of the "Mid Atlantic" states :rolleyes:

-Bill (hailing from Southern Maryland....)

[black beast]

New England, DOES NOT want VA, NY, (really NO on the NY) and any state South of CT, RI and West of VT, ME. I'm sorry to all the other slack jawed people that live in other states in the Northeast that don't get to take part in our "State School" Program. By the way, the translations were funny as heal!, Hell :cool:

[UniqueAngle]

ummm .. technically, you're wrong. New England consists of 5 states: CT, MA, NH, RI, & VT. Maine is not on the list (it's a north eastern state, not a New England state).

[kuroneko_sama]

maine isnt in new england????????? :eek: then why is it included with all the pictures of new england one sees all over the place up here.... :confused:


ps

look here

or even here

http://www.newenglandvisitorsnetwork.com/

they agree with me ;) :p (the first 2 are government sites... notice VA is not on any of them :rolleyes: )

[black beast]

I agree with Romeo, ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI. We have been taught these as New England, and Maine is part of the state school program so it must be in New England.
