I use the word all the time when I talk about caves...
We have enough firepower stockpiled away to launch a blitz against any small-to-medium sized nation on Earth. Our spies are in every house of state and the highest echelons of every military.
Our order is ancient, with ties to the very origins of civilization. It has been subtly manipulating world events since the start of recorded history.
sorry, after searching a bit for a wiki to explain, it's named "Acadia".
Acadia is part of Canada ; however, it seems my information on that field was incomplete. the region still has the same name, but the "abstract" relation is that of the French part that used to be there.
The story of Acadians is that of people who lost their country ; I wouldn't be able to tell it as is, I think it's better if you check that article for yourself on the subject : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia
Hmm good point, have never heard of the Northern Ireland furs but I am sure they exist. Must do some research on the south-west, it's too far away for me to really check it out by visiting there.
The furry capital of the world is San Jose, California. Not San Francisco, like so many have claimed.
And San Jose is not San Francisco. They are thirty-five miles apart, and San Jose is nearly twice the size of San Francisco. I would estimate that two hundred convention-going furries live in the San Jose city limits, with another three to four hundred convention-going furries living in the surrounding cities in Santa Clara County (Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, etc.)
Missouri was a slave state that did not secede from the Union. Exactly like Kentucky. Nitpick that. Also, west is not north. F
And since you also failed to actually read my original post, nowhere in that comment did I say that Kentucky was Southern. I just said that Missouri is just as Southern as Kentucky is.
I will give you credit for one thing though: Missouri is definitely not part of the Deep South (generally defined as those seven states that seceded before Fort Sumter). Maybe lupestripe got Missouri confused with Mississippi. I don't know.
Missouri is a border state. Maybe the border state. It also up until last year (barely) was the bellwether for political culture in the United States, having picked the President twenty-five out of twenty-six times since 1900. This is very impressive.
The major cities of Missouri (St. Louis and Kansas City) are decidedly Midwestern in culture and affiliation. However, Springfield has a strong claim to the title of "buckle" of the Bible belt, and part of Missouri did secede from the Union, making Neosho its capital.
When I said that Missouri is "just as southern as Kentucky is", I will admit that I was basing that statement on one and exactly one definition of being Southern -- that is, slave state vs. free state. Realistically, I would consider Missouri a Midwestern state, as most Missourians (like yourself) identify with the Midwest. To the contrary, most Kentuckians identify with the South, though Kentucky's largest metro area is Cincinnati.

I will also note that both Missouri and Kentucky were represented at last weekend's LAFF events. As was Arkansas, of course. But I'm not trying to say that Arkansas is Midwestern at all (though northwest Arkansas is more Midwestern than Southern IMHO)
