I get annoyed when people make sweeping generalizations about regions of the country, as well as about other countries. Just like with groups of people on any other dimension. I have random conversations with strangers literally every day. And I'm always pleasantly surprised with how nice people are to me when I'm in NYC (this is a stereotype that's been ingrained in me since I was little and I still work to get rid of). I've also been treated rudely and ignored in every region of the country by all kinds of people. My five worst experiences of this have been in California, South Carolina, Texas, Georgia and Massachusetts. Whoopie-do. I have also had great experiences in all five of those places. The whole Southern people are nicer, Northern people are smarter or whatever you want to use. Bunch of bullsh*t to me.
But then I'm from DC and everyone knows what stupid arseholes we all are anyway.
Regional differences in the quality of available education are real, but otherwise I totally agree.

I agree with this- and I've had some pleasant experiences in NYC and LA, and awful ones here in the South, as well as both kinds abroad. however, I do think it's fair to say that in general, if you are walking down the street in NYC you are unlikely to be stopped and asked how you are doing, or even to be smiled at by a stranger, while in Greenville, you are almost certain to get at least a smile and hello from a large percentage of people you pass.
not saying New Yorkers are rude and Southerners aren't, just like Cap'n Mac said, the pace is totally different which necessarily affects strangers' interpersonal interactions.

Can anyone recommend a good travel rewards credit card? I have a couple major purchases I need to make in the next month or two. I have the money saved up, so APRs aren't that important.

Not off the top of my head, but www.nerdwallet.com and www.creditcard.com are both great resources for comparing cards and searching for which ones fit what you want.
After mass pumpkin carving today, I want nothing to do with pumpkin seeds. And pumpkin guts are slick as snot and make good food fight fodder--one of the guys there is going to find that stuff in some interesting places when he showers this evening, guaranteed.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Sometimes I stop and wonder just how awesome it would be to have a full day of my life directed by Wes Anderson. The answer is always mind-blowingly amazing.
I actually have that pinned to my "WTF?!?!" board on Pinterest because that looks like a form of ancient Chinese torture. Edge pieces are the devil. It's all about a middle piece- soft and flavorful and melt in your mouth good!
Wait.. what? I don't think I have ever seen sweet tea as the only offering up here. Places like MickeyD's offer them both and I've worked at two restaurants that don't even offer any sweet tea. Cheesecake has three iced teas- all unsweetened. Not that I am complaining
But you all, especially Dave, knows my feeling on sweet iced tea, cornbread and the rest.. so I won't continue on that subject!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Sorry G, Dave Maynar is slightly obsessed with my pen!s.
Who said anything about your penis, pervert? Somebody told me you had an unnatural fixation on ear cleanliness and that you liked to groom people like a Howler Monkey.
y'all know how I feel about ears... I do think that q-tips were probably invented by an ENT doc since they are responsible for so many visits/procedures etc.
also, found this tidbit in an interesting article (link): "Well, there are a lot of nerve endings in the ear. And a lot of those nerves are hooked up to other parts of our body, especially internal organs. Certain nerves that are in the skin of the ear canal connect to the intestinal organs." - Dr. Dennis Fitzgerald, otologist
downside of working early in the morning: I forget to bring a towel into the bathroom before I shower about 80% of the time.
Why doth your bathroom have no towels?
If I leave a towel in there, the children tend to pull it down to dry their hands after washing them and leave it in the floor. It seems like a waste. Also, I just like to have a fresh towel when I take a shower.
