You want to know what it's like growing up in a rural place? A relative of mine is the perfect summation of the experience. Nicest kid (he's 19 now, but very much deserves to be called "kid") you could meet. Loves him some huntin' and fishin' and drinkin'. And one night he and his friends were sitting around a fire drunk (which is the rural teenage thing to do) and he got the awesome idea to have his initials branded onto his back with a bit of a coathanger stuck in the fire. In the grand tradition of being young and stupid in the woods he didn't quite think through the implications.
He now has "KKK" branded onto his back in nice block letters.
I was talking with a guildmate in LOTRO last night who lives in Vancouver washington (the first vancouver you canadian swine!) who called Seattle "San Fransico Norte" he thinks hes the most clever mother fucker ever.

hahaha
his parents are partially to blame here
Well yes, because stupid hick parents seem to be universally fine with their kids getting shitfaced and stoned out of their gourds once they hit 14 or so.
But that's just another reason, should one find onself growing up in such a shithole, to leave and never ever come back.

I'd take a small town growing up over a big city any day, but once I grew up, there's no comparison, the city wins

I grew up a bit back from the coast in Eastern CT. I lived in a town that was transitioning from a rural farming community to a bedroom community. The town was small enough that we didn't have a high school, we actually bussed over a town to go high school there. It was far enough to give me access to woods, but not so far that there wasn't anything to do. It was a pretty good mix. A large percentage of the adults had college degrees and put a strong emphasis on the school being properly funded.

And the only time you guys saw black people is when you watched after school specials?

And that's why we're glad he lives in Vancouver, Washington.
Oh, that was another thing. There was one black family within 10 miles or so. Mostly white hicks and some natives (there are a couple different reservations nearby).

oh, I meant because they didn't think through his initials when they were naming him

Out of my eight grade class we had two black kids out of ~100 total students. When I went to high school there was a few more. But I didn't meet a Mexican till I was 18 or so...

Ahh mexicans, when you need to murder a whole family but don't want the news to report the crime.

Speaking of living in a rural area, there is a high school here in Kansas that is having a raffle to raise money for the girls' basketball team.
The item they're raffling off?
A rifle.
You might be a redneck...
That's better then when they sell off Calendars of the high school chicks, or do car washes. Because seriously chicks in washington have the smallest chests around.

since I was 18
I have lived in Arizona (18-23), DC (23-26), and San Diego (26-present)
so
if I don't like small town living, I'll just move again
Well yes, because stupid hick parents seem to be universally fine with their kids getting shitfaced and stoned out of their gourds once they hit 14 or so.

I don't smoke, though.
Then you would never want to hang out with skippy, aside from playing TF 2 like a quadraplegic, he smokes pot like a dave mathews groupie.

Christ, if Skippy smokes pot like a dave mathews groupie, what the hell do I smoke pot like?
Probably a desperatly unhappy Alaskan government employee.
And that's why we're glad he lives in Vancouver, Washington.
I didn't smoke either, when I lived in DC
I just drank a lot to numb the pain of grad school and then working 60 hours a week at a PR firm
I took it up here because I can do it legally
if I move I will likely stop, unless it's legally available wherever I move to
and I left DC in the summer of 08
You smoke pot like a cheeto taster.

I will also take up gun ownership if I move somewhere rural
although maybe that is implied by saying I'll take up hunting
You should hunt with your bare hands and your teeth.
There is still bow hunting and crossbow hunting.
Do you really think so little of me?
That would be Idaho, so you and Palin would actually get along pretty well.
