My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy - the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.

-Suddenly I feel jealous of another person's childhood for the first time in my life.

I used to live at the exact point where 295N became 95 south for no apparent reason. It was very hard giving directions to people.

Now I live about three miles from where George Washington won two battles during Revolution (American War for Independance) both Princeton and Trenton.

New Jersey, gotta love it.

Anyone from the "old" Jersey?

Alabama redneck, born and bred - don't know where I was buttered.

I'm from Sudbury, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston (inasmuch as a town 20 miles away can be considered a suburb). Fortunately, it's inside the I-495 boundary, so I'm still within the civilized portion of the state.

Ha, funny. I live south of the I-10, in CALIFORNIA. No history of slavery or civil war here. No southern culture either. This is purely a northern town (Los Angeles) regardless of geography (or I guess you could clasify us as a Western Town).

I'm a WPI[1] grad, so I think I have to object to that.
