We get snow in the South, it just doesn't stay around for 8 months. Hell, since I've moved to Atlanta they've gotten at least one snow a year. Now back in Tennessee, we would always have at least one good snow that would stay for a week or so. Wouldn't you rather the snow come and go before it gets all dirty?

I have not gotten past #1 on your rules. If, in fact you are to so boldly scold someone as to having "slept through history class" please do attempt to have your facts straight.

The Mason Dixon Line is the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland and then heading south it is the border between Maryland and Deleware. Commissioned by King Charles 1 in the mid 1700's after he gave what is now Maryland to the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert. Surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon were sent to end a land dispute that arose from this gift. At no point in time has either the Mississippi River or the Ohio River been a part of the Mason-Dixon line.

btw, I did not sleep through history class

Not sure why, but this reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "robster craw? what the f**k is a robster craw?"

Have you heard of Endangered Outlaw...they have great Florida Cracker shirts and stuff....for example they have a guy on a dock with his charter boat and the boat's name is Cracker (if I remember correctly) and where they usually put the fish up on the hooks after a charter they have a New Yorker, a Canadian and somthing else I can't remember at this moment. Lots of good stuff. And also, my favorite, the Yankee knowledge shirt where it has a big sportboat called the Yankee and he is about to run over a little boat called Native who is out with his net...check out the site, its pretty good

Thank the folks at About.com for this one:
Over fifty years later, the boundary between the two states came into the spotlight with the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Compromise established a boundary between the slave states of the south and the free states of the north (however its separation of Maryland and Delaware is a bit confusing since Delaware was a slave state that stayed in the Union). This boundary became referred to as the Mason-Dixon line because it began in the east along the Mason-Dixon line and headed westward to the Ohio River and along the Ohio to its mouth at the Mississippi River and then west along 36° 30' North.

That would be funnier if the little boat was called Red Sox.

Personally, I think all driver's examinations should be taken in an ice storm, regardless of whether or not it gets icy where you live ( I also think that changing a tire should be a part of the test, but that's not really germaine to this conversation).

How, pre tel, can I take a drivers examine in an ice storm in Fla????? We did however have to do the parking on a hill and which way do you turn your tires thing, even though there are no hills in FLa

Do it in a hockey rink, I really don't care. My point is I do not want to share the roads in the winter with drivers who cannot control their vehicles.

YOU COULD SPREAD THE SHAVINGS FROM AN ICE RINK AND DRIVE IN THAT.
