Was this seriously just made yesterday? Really?

I'm from Southern California...known for immigrants, theme parks, and beaches. I live in Orange County, where there are no more orange groves. It's not very interesting here where I live in some random city, but it's overrun with Asians. We have a little Saigon, a Korean District, and a China Town. I live about two hours from the nearest beach (name is not in my head) and about an hour and a half from Universal Studios, Disneyland, and Knott's Berry Farm.

Lots of southern Californians here. Odd...

People flock when they see its me.

Anyway, welcome. It seems like there are a lot of people from Southern California on this forum. It makes sense since the state is so populated, but why just the South? We only have one Texan, one Floridian, and no New Yorkers. Hmm.

Well, I guess I can't argue with that.

Well, people up north have more interesting things to do. We just have too much time on our hands.

I saw this just yesterday and have neglected my duty as an American to sign up, lol. Ah, the greatness of being lazy.

Anyway, I live in Branson, Missouri. Home to a Dolly Parton show, many family members of the Osmonds, Yakov Smirnoff, and pretty much every other has-been you could think of, even Billy Ray Cyrus had a show here! As you can tell, the town was pretty much built on live-family shows with comedy acts you'd see in the 50's, lots of country, bluegrass, OLD rock singers/bands, and a few more classy acts [Andy Williams]. About 95% of these shows I truly hate, especially since my parents worked for just about everybody in town so I was often forced to go to these shows as a kid when no babysitter was around.

Besides that, the true history of this town was known from a somewhat famous book, the Shepard of the Hills, which I'm sure some of you have read at school; I know I have. From that alone can you easily assume how many frichen rednecks live in this place and none of the good ones, give or take a couple. That and there's a church every couple of miles. In which, I shall quote something that made me laugh on wikipedia.

A quote from The Simpsons goes as far as Bart saying "My dad says it’s like Vegas — if it were run by Ned Flanders".

This is somewhat true, except that there aren't really any casinos around here, but you can sure as hell see what I have to deal with. I've actually seen people who actually look like Ned Flanders in my town. Hell, my childhood friend's dad looks a LOT like Flanders, except really buff AND he's a preacher/carpenter.

Anyway, there are a few good things we have in this town which make this place bearable. The pros are an IMAX screen, Silver Dollar City [amusement park], a Go-Kart place with the only arcade left, Lasertag, a few alright malls, plenty of places for good food, small time video game store, skateworld [skating place with arcade/pool tables], and that's just about it.

The cons are annoying tourist, bad live shows, I hate 90% of the locals, the schools suck [most teachers are cool though], there's too music traffic nowadays, some terrible stores with douche bag suits [corporate assholes], undatable women [an average relationship last a few weeks], absolutely no good video game stores, only ONE library and it sucks, lots of bitchy old people, no bookstores except one ran by an old dude with a cat, terrible gas prices [In a ten 100 times our size just an hour away it's up to 30 CENTS LOWER!], and probably fifty other things that aren't coming to mind but will eventually.

Now, the only good thing I remember about Missouri as a whole is like in another county over, Brad Pitt grew up here, lol.

So he basically looks EXACTLY like Ned Flanders? That sweater is just a farce. Don't you remember any episode ever when Flanders took his shirt off? The guy is ridiculous.



Thank you, internets, for providing me with photographic proof.



I have nothing else to say regarding the current topic since I shoved it all in my last post, so I'll just loiter around until we shift on to new things to discuss.

Yes, almost EXACTLY like Flanders [99.9%]. His hair is slicked back the same way, he has a huge mustache, even the same frichen glasses. The ONLY difference is his hair is grey since he's getting pretty old now, but even before that he had brown hair.
