Kentucky

[Gorjirus]

Soooooooooo much better than Tennessee.



:p


Birthplace of Abe Lincoln, and I believe has more KP members than any other state.

[biochemitra]

When I read the title of this thread, my first reaction was as follows.

"Omg, OMg, OMG, OMG, I live there!!"

Of course the topic itself doesn't bring much more thought to me than that.

[Gorjirus]

Where do you live?

I'm in LaRue County.

[biochemitra]

I'm a Flatwoods.....ian...

[Burkion]

Kentucky sucks compared to TN, though.

We made the atomic bomb! We're responsible for Godzilla!

Say it loud-say it proud!

We're also responsible for *all* apoctolypic/depressing/ect anime! Why? WE NUKED JAPAN AND SCARRED THEM FOR LIFE!

^.^

I can thank ma'hself for NGE...

[Burkion]

TN rocks! TN rocks hard!

We're responsible for ANime as we know it!

[Cole Deschain]

Feh. You're all southern weaklings. ;)

*Pulls out musket loader* Say it again, Clole #2089830?

[Cole Deschain]

You heard me.

[godofPH]

Born in North Carolina, raised in Montana.

Despite the fact we tend to send Left-wing politicians to Capitol Hill, that's only so we don't have to deal with them here.

And we'll never have a school massacre lasting more than 5 minutes.

God bless lax gun control laws...

[Shadow]

Hmm...

I'll give TN some awesome scenery... (Woot, Smokey Mountains!)

But KY still kicks much behind, mostly the metro areas (Bowling Green, Louisville, Campbellsville, Elizabethtown...Hodgenville...oh god, and Bardstown.)

We also have some scenic areas to visit as well, like the Abraham Lincoln Boyhood Home.

Don't forget about our awesome collegiate sports teams: University of Kentucky Wildcats, University of Louisville Cardinals, and the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers (We're 1A in a year or two, they're building on to the football stadium as we speak!).

Speaking of Colleges, we have some of the greatest schools to attend for higher education. I know Gor will have to talk about UK, but as for Western, I can boast that we are in the top three schools WORLDWIDE for anything related to journalism.

One of my classmates (an upperclassman) is going on an internship this summer to California to work at a magazine. The editor there told him that the other two people considered for the job were also from WKU. He said that the Editor just preferred WKU students, because he knew they would know there stuff. Cool.

And finally, KY is bordered on three sides by rivers.

Booya.

Damn straight! And guess where I was born! Radioactive East Tennessee! Yes, I agree, Tennessee is responsible for Japanese apocolyptic anime. Without Tennessee, it would be all Hamtaro!

Man, probably none of yuns would have known about Tennessee being responsible for Little Boy if the radioactive mutant from Oak Ridge hadn't had told yahs. Score one for me.

Feh. You're all southern weaklings

*Gets out shotgun* What did you say?!

Smokies kick ***! I love them. I go up there every winter when it snows and take pictures.

Kentucky....been there a few times, once I was a kid and I went up there and called every single one of yuns Yankies. LOL!

Actually, one thing Kentucky and Tennessee share....Cumberland Gap. Pretty place. Very pretty place.

Hey....

Why isn't there a New Jersey topic?

Wait, am I supposed to be supporting Pennsylvania or New Jersey now? I just want to know which of these clearly better states I should use in this state contest.

Feh! Pussies! List of awesome things TN has done:

Spawned Kedz.
Made a Nuke.
Seceded from the Union
Has Vanderbilt
Responsible for Godzilla
Responsible for Anime
And is thus responsible for Hentai
Spawned Sgt. York
And is mostly-responsible for Patton!

Now.

What do you little tiny-balled-states have to compare to *that*?

[CII]

Sorry, no state can top Tennesseee. Because no other state has me. Me and the atomic bomb. We pwned everyone because of that.

Besides, since Tennessee is responsible for Hiroshima, there wouldn't be a Godzilla fandom. And no KP.

PWNED! Go VOLS!

[Cole Deschain]

Bah. If it weren;t for Alaska, your gas would be even more expensive than it is already.

Seer just pwned the topic.
And don't go forgetting the Cheese steak which none of you Southerners have. Oh, and we have Tastycakes! So in YO FACE! (salt water taffy.... mmmmmm....)

[godofPH]

If it wasn't for Montana, GodofPH would have to live in another state.

BEAT THAT.

WE HAVE DEEP-FRIED TWINKIES AND SNICKERS!

Not to mention..

WE AREN'T YANKEES!

We're from the land of cotton, you *******s! We're from Dixie.

>.>

We killed more of you than you killed of us!

And we've owned the whitehouse since it all started!

Nigh-every president from George Washington to now, has been from Dixie!

(Texas counts.)

^.^

Bring. It.

Bah, the South is full of doofs. As for us Yankees, at least we have all teh good sports teams, and the more sophisticated crowd that DIDN'T vote for George Bush.;)

And WHO WON *****?! HMMMMMMM?:darklord:

Bring. It.

Strangelove:

Do you really want me to bring out Philadelphia?

[CII]

And thus, the Civil War began on KP.

You know though, Knoxville was actually on the side of the Union. And Oak Ridge was founded by New Yorkers after kicking a bunch of farmers out...so, *dones blue* Yeehah....

One of the reasons why Oak Ridge is so much better...though, yeah, everywhere else, there's a bunch of hicks. Oak Ridgers don't fit into that bunch. Per square mile, we have more PhDs than New York, Los Angeles. So, never lump an Oak Ridger in with the hill billies, Northerners.

All the brains in this country are all in one place....kinda sad isn't it?

[Burkion]

Again, without TN, KP wouldn't exist.

We win.

[Orga777]

Again, without TN, KP wouldn't exist.

We win.

New Jersey found the FIRST dinosaur. And Godzilla is BASED off a dinosaur. So, we win. :p

[Burkion]

...yeah, no you don't.

Let's put it this way; without TN, there would be no nukes. Without nukes, there would be no Godzilla. Without Godzilla, there would be no Ghidorah, Orga, Space Godzilla, Destroyah, or anything else.

There would also be no KP. Without KP, there would be no tournaments. Without KP again, there'd be no Chat Fighter, nor Roost Fighter.

TN wins.

[CII]

How about this, we agree to a tie.

Besides, Tennessee actually has dinosaurs, so even if it wasn't discovered in Jersey...it could have been discovered in other places--even Tennessee.

[Orga777]

...yeah, no you don't.

Let's put it this way; without TN, there would be no nukes. Without nukes, there would be no Godzilla. Without Godzilla, there would be no Ghidorah, Orga, Space Godzilla, Destroyah, or anything else.

There would also be no KP. Without KP, there would be no tournaments. Without KP again, there'd be no Chat Fighter, nor Roost Fighter.

TN wins.

Pfft. Without dinosaur bones being discovered Godzilla woudln't exist either. So... YOU FAIL IT! And don't go thinking anyone from the South would have found them, they would probably have thought it was just a big lizard that died like a week before. :p

[Burkion]

Orga, you're not INSULTING Southern Intelligence, are you?

Because, you should know; MOrgoth lives in the south.

Just so ya know.

[Orga777]

Orga, you're not INSULTING Southern Intelligence, are you?

Because, you should know; MOrgoth lives in the south.

Just so ya know.

What? Morgoth lives in Arizona! ANd that is definitly not the South. It is the damn West Coast since it is right next to freaking California.

[CII]

Oh, I hate it when Northerners insult Southern intelligence. I really do. That's when I whip out that we have more PhDs per square mile in one town than any Northern city.

Besides, UT produces a lot of medical doctors.

[Cole Deschain]

Oh, I hate it when Northerners insult Southern intelligence. I really do. That's when I whip out that we have more PhDs per square mile in one town than any Northern city.

And where do they go to GET those PhDs, hm?

(And FWIW, I hail from such a far-flung outpost of the U.S. Empire that really, you're all equally nonsensical to me)

Pwned.

[biochemitra]

Ya know, none of YOU all did any of that. It was people who lived in your general area. Y'all really have nothing to be proud of, seeing as how you had absolutely nothing to do with any of the things you claim to have created.

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

My grandmother did. So, don't say a single world. My grandmother was a Calutron Girl, my grandfather the chief of security for the Y-12 plant. I'm a third generation Oak Ridge. My mother, my aunt, my uncle, all a part of the plants. My step father, maintance crew responsible fore cleaning up the K-33 building gasious diffusion plant in 1995.

Not a single word. I may not have been a part of the manhattan project, my my family was. My family was one of the founders of Oak Ridge. We have our names on plaques in the city stating what my family contributed. My family were one of the ones who had the first phone in Oak Ridge because my grandfather was a part of the secret service in Oak Ridge to keep outsiders like you from learning the secret behind it. My grandmother lived in one of the tract dorm buildings first built here. And I live in an E1 apartment, one of the first apartments built here as well after the bomb was dropped and this place could turn into a community.

I love my grandmother and I have everything to be proud of for the job that she had done. To know that my family was a part of the creation of something great. Don't ever say I don't have the right to be proud of what my grandmother and grandfather did. Don't ever say that EVER! I don't appreciate people telling me what I can't be proud of. And it's no lie, we did create the bomb right here in my town.

[Gorjirus]

We have Vanderbilt.

Nuff' said.


*snicker*

Ohhhh... Vandy. Shaking in our boots.

Even UK used Vandy as a whipping boy in football. And if you are in the SEC, you are about football boy! You should know that.

Feh! Pussies! List of awesome things TN has done:

-Birthed Abraham Lincoln (according to you, proof KY is south) usually taken as the greatest president ever by the US and the world. So, if you want to use "deductive reasoning", like "we had a bomb, so we are responsible for anime, Godzilla, etc", without Abe Lincoln, when the South lost, there would have been no "reconstruction", only complete destruction. So I'd wager that you might not even be alive, or that there would be a bomb for you to invent. (Oh, and if the South had won, pretty much every white person in the South would just have been poor sharecroppers, since the plantations were a very small percentage. So, your existence, the fact the South is still around, goes to KY and Abe Lincoln.
-George Clooney
-Ashley Judd
-KY bourbon
-Ky Derby/Churchill Downs
-(Sadly) UK Basketball (It's an institution)
-Mammoth Cave (one of, if not the, longest cave system in the world)
-two largest man made lakes east of the Mississippi River
-the highest per capita number of deer, turkey, and elk in the US (because hunting is fun)
-the most productive coalfield in the US
-Jim Bowie (and thus the Bowie knife)
-John Carpenter was raised here (as was Jeri Ryan)
-D.W. Griffith
-Jefferson Davis (your Confederate President)
-birthed the inventor of the traffic light and gas mask
-John T. Thompson: inventor of the Tommy Gun
-Duncan Hines (yes, THAT Duncan Hines)
- Col. Harland Sanders (and thus KFC)
-"Papa" John Schnatter (and Papa Johns)


We've screwed our kin less.

And most of us can read.

Why I'm glad I was born in Alaska! (Which is soooooo much better than KY. Or TN. Or any of the lower 48)

WE HAVE DEEP-FRIED TWINKIES AND SNICKERS!

So do we.

Bah, the South is full of doofs. As for us Yankees, at least we have all teh good sports teams, and the more sophisticated crowd that DIDN'T vote for George Bush.

All the good professional sports teams. Because, besides California and ND, the north has jack squat in terms of college sports teams. (Oh wait, and old Indiana basketball. My bad.)

Again, without TN, KP wouldn't exist.

We win.


Without KY, there wouldn't even be TN as it is today. We win.

Well alright then, perhaps you actually have something to be proud of. Don't question my assessment of everyone else's worthlessness, however.

Geeze, a sarcastic comment's just a sarcastic comment, there's no need to get defensive.
Besides, there's a distinct difference between being proud of your family and toting yourself around like a god because of something that happened before you were even born. So far, I've seen a LOT more of the latter than I have the former.

I've made my point.

[CII]

Hey, I'm actually joking with everyone. It's not my fault that the others are taking my town and putting up on a totem pole because a bunch of New Yorkers came down and decided to build the world's first nuclear weapons facility. Thanks to them, all the other Southerners think I'm a freak because I don't have a Southern accent!

Though, they didn't do a very good job at keeping it clean. We still have signs that state: "Don't swim, don't wade, don't fish, don't drink the water."

Here's something else I can be proud that no Southerner could claim. My town was the first to abolish segregation in the school for the South.

[biochemitra]

[Pug Puppy]

Germany helped cause WWI
Germany lost WWI
Germany got ready for WWII by electing Hitler Fuhrer.
Germany was working towards the A-bomb.
This led to Tennessee building the nukes that wrecked two Japanese Cities.

Therefore... Godzilla, nukes,-ITS ALL GERMANY'S FAULT!

...aaaaactualy, it was Serbian Nationalists that caused WW1. Germany was just protecting her ally, Austria when Russia declared war. It was really just a series of events that got horribly out of hand and out of control.

[Hybrid Gojira]

I spent 3 days im Kentucky this past weekend (Winchester, close to Lexington). It's very pretty, but I hate country roads and being 15-20 minutes from the mall and most of civilization. I was visiting an old college buddy.

Plus i HATE Kentucky athletics. *vomits*

[Gorjirus]

^If you were 20 minutes away, you weren't exactly close.

And you aren't alone. I hate Kentucky too.
