    I think we have those signs, but we really don't mean it :P

    It should say "Welcome to MA....speed up, idiot."

    Everyday when I come home (I work out of state) I have 2 of my kids in the car...as we cross into MA there's a 'Welcome to Massachusetts" sign with a turkey on it. Every day my 4 year old looks for it and we make turkey sounds. It's cute and makes a long drive somewhat bearable.
    I love to turn you on

    Is that the one off of I-84 on the MA/CT border?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    That's funny!!! I do some traveling through Conn for my job every 6-8 weeks or so. I usually stay over in Manchester so I know that stretch of road pretty well. I'm usually doing 90 mph when I pass that sign (minus the state troopers waiting to bag you at the boarder) so I really don't pay attention to it much.

    Those buses are a pain in the ass.

    Amen. Manchester is a cool town...well the Buckland area anyway. Plenty of restaurants and such if you're staying overnight. CT cops always hide out between the border and Manchester, so keep an eye out. If you go 75 they won't bother you, but they are NOTORIOUS for stopping people over that. They prey on you like wolfs and rabbits.
    I love to turn you on

    101. Although they claim hatred for the Yankees, It didn't stop the local 7-11 from selling a cookie with a Yankees logo on it mixed in with the BoSox ones. Methinks you don't hate us as much as you claim!

    I love this one:

    10. You keep an ice scraper in your car year-round.

    I kept scrapers, shovels, and brushes in my car for 2 whole years while I was living in North Carolina and it didn't snow and I parked in a garage. That's how engrained it is.

    yeah it's in the car but it f*ckin' takes you ten minutes to find it on the first snow storm

    It does, but at least I am not one of those people using their arms to clear off their car after the first snow. :D

    Boston just has that reputation of being rude so once someone sees anyone being rude they just run with it.

    Boston is no more rude than most of the major cities. I can't stand that nonsense.

    True.. but it IS the only city where I've heard people use phrases like "he JEWed me out of that" at work, and no one acts offended.
