Northern people don't get 'the Carolinas'...


Apr 4, 2017, 8:59 AM

apparently they all think we're one big happy family. Twice now I've been congratulated (I'm in Pittsburgh) for SoCar making it to the Final Four and then UNC winning it all.

I don't even like basketball...

Last week:
Her: "Congrats on the game last night!"
Me: (trying to think of a hockey game) "What game?"
Her: "South Carolina's basketball win! You didn't watch?!"
Me: "You needed to congratulate your pizza delivery guy, I'm a Clemson guy and deliver IT solutions"
Her: "Wow - ouch"

Today:
Dude: "I guess you were happy about the win"
Me: (again, the Pens didn't play last night) - "What win?"
Dude: "UNC - aren't you from down there?"
Me: "Oh - I'm a Clemson guy, I'd rather see the court open up and swallow both teams whole than UNC win"
Dude: "Clemson's in South Carolina right? I guess you were pulling for them, then"
Me: Shakes head and walks away...

So - to northern folk we're just one big happy family 'down south' I guess.

Is "deliver IT solutions" a fancy way to say tech support?

Because if so I need to go change that on my resume.

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

I think it's the non-depressing way of saying you work in

a call center.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

LOL - no shame in saying I started in something like that


Apr 4, 2017, 9:16 AM

in some ways it's better than actually having to think about stuff. All you really do is trade one form of idiocy (moron users) for another (moron business 'stakeholders') who want to do stupid stuff on a larger scale.

Anyone north of the Catawba River is filthy Yankee carpetbagger trash, anyone west of Long Creek is filthy granola-eating hippie trash, and anyone south of Dafuskie Island is filthy bean-eating communist revolutionary trash, anyone east of Little River is filthy greaseball Euro-trash.

Jersey Shore, or the Sopranos***


Apr 4, 2017, 9:55 AM



badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

neither is really indicative of the majority


Apr 4, 2017, 9:58 AM

however, I'd give The Sopranos a slight lean over The Jersey Shore


I still don't regret never having watched a full episode of TJS

Me, neither.

Nah, my in-laws did a short stint in Skillman....nice area.


Apr 4, 2017, 10:14 AM

I liked going to the outlets because the area was so heavily populated with your people that the mediums were sold out, but XL's were in abundance.

I've also learned that one of the quickest ways to get into a fight is to tell someone from Trenton that they're from Philly.
