Farmville?

By In Uncategorized

So I'm living 20 minutes outside of a town of 4,000 while I do my co-op. Here are a few observations about the REAL Farmville (not the city's actual name).

1) At any given moment, there are at least 2 corn fields within a mile of your current location.

2) If you are late for work, you can pretty much do whatever speed you want because there are no cops out in the boonies (town is full of them). HOWEVER, Murphy's Law still applies, and instead of hitting every stop light (of which there are none), you will be confronted with a mile-long train of tractors going 10mph in a magical no pass zone.

3) Everyone here believes American and Mexican are two real languages.

4) "I believe in religious freedom as long as that religion is Christianity.*"

5) Walmart has replaced the mall as the teen hang out.

6) Friday nights mean high school football. The whole area is a ghost town.

7) The female attractiveness distribution is roughly 60% incest ugly, 30% decent, and 10% HOT DAMN. Incidentally, the chances of said female (I'm talking about late teens, early twenties) having a baby is pretty similar (i.e. 60% of incest ugly have babies), except pretty much every decent looking girl either has a child or is with one.

8) The moment the sun comes with twenty degrees of the horizon, the ground brakes loose and swarms of insects zerg rush at your front bumper and windshield.

*Nascar is also an acceptable religion, although it is generally accepted as a subset of Christianity.

Except this is stuff I, an American, consider strange. It was more about the differences between urban and rural areas. Aren’t you in some tiny village? 😛

See, the Floridan priests in Canada don’t burn the Qur’an.

This is why I love Toronto.

I want to visit New York and just stare at tall buildings and visit museums and enjoy food, not Old Booonie, where I get bitten, chased out for being atheist, and trodden upon by cows.

That’s because there aren’t any Floridan priests in Canada you dipshit.

Yes, but there are no real differences between tiny villages and urban areas in the same way you have.

See, the Obama administration in Canada isn’t screwing up our country.

Your Obama administration is still f*cking with the world though

In the middle of the middle of no where in South Carolina. Columbia is an hour and a half away. Charleston is an hour away. Florence is an hour away.

@Bryan: Top Gear has taught me that rural areas are just as different from urban areas in England as they are in the US. We all know that Top Gear is the most factual show in the world, so there’s pretty much no disputing that.

Isn’t South Carolina the worst state in the USA?

Err, is that a serious question? There’s really no objective answer. It depends on what you value in a location. Plus, the state varies greatly depending on where you are. NC > SC, though.

Preachers, and from a Christian standpoint (the ones not insane), the preacher there just wants attention because his church is in financial trouble.

Also, Florida isn’t actually in Canada.

Nope, North Dakota. Then it’s probably West Virginia, but I guess South Carolina sucks pretty bad too.

LOL and I thought you were talking about either somewhere in the Midwest (you probably would have mentioned thunderstorms, right?) or Arkansas?

Actually, as I hail from North Carolina, the state that trades places with Florida for most lightning strikes per year, no. Anywhere else is underwhelming, frankly.

My human geography class loves making fun of North Dakota.

Speaking of boring states, Iowa is pretty boring besides Des Moines. My roomate and I were checking WikiAnswers, and its answer to “what does Iowa have?” or something was funny. xD
