Where ya from?

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Where ya from?

Forgive me for not putting it in the proper, "I'm curious, DUers,..." format, but I'm in a hurry.:)

There's a lot of overlap in these regions, and since we have a lot of non-Murricans on here, I couldn't restrict it to just the US and had to combine a lot of regions (and a lot of countries). Sorry; I think it looks foolish, too.

[billyskank]

1. Does Britain count as Yerp?

:shrug:

[miss_american_pie]

2. Billy!

Where've you been? :hi:

[billyskank]

5. Hi 'pie

:hug:

[Bossy Monkey]

3. Yeah, you've got that kicky tunnel now

It wasn't when I was there learning the Bunny Hop on the Sealink ferry, but you're yerpeans now.

[tjwmason]

4. England.

Many many many controversies as to whether that counts as "other" or as Europe.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Greece is an EU country, I believe. So, therefore, I was born in Europe.

:)

[Bossy Monkey]

9. Dang Yerpeans! Takin' over the place!

:P

[GOPisEvil]

12. Well, I'm a 'Murkan now. Got a piece of paper that says so, too!

I've been a 'Murkan since I was 8. :P

[Mutley]

7. Mid-Atlantic

[smtpgirl]

53. MD

I am a proud MD native. WDC suburbs, GO TERPS

[Redstone]

8. Lunenburg, Vermont. Doesn't get any more New England than that.

Though I live at the other end of the Connecticut river now.

Redstone

[GirlinContempt]

10. How does Canada get lumped in with Alaska and Hawaii?

[Bossy Monkey]

13. That would be because I'm an idiot

On the other hand, Tierra del Fuego is lumped with Tijuana and Australia with Afghanistan and Antarctica, so you're hardly alone.

[GirlinContempt]

23. I doubt you're an idiot

I just thought it was weird because Hawaii and Alaska are part of the US, thats all.

[supernova]

11. Southeast

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Germany

so here is another one from "Yurop" :)

16. Great Lakes region

We're a region unto ourselves.

[Major Hogwash]

17. Herk this poll!

I did!

LoL

[babylonsister]

18. You forgot the northeast! New Yawker here.

:cry:

[Bossy Monkey]

19. Didn't forget; divided it into New England and mid-Atlantic

New York, last I checked, fell under the latter, though with a name like New York it ought to be in New England, oughtn't it?:)

[babylonsister]

21. New York is considered to be in the mid-Atlantic? I never knew

that! I've always classified it as northeast, cause we've never been from New England, not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-)

[Bossy Monkey]

22. Here's what Wikiville says

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic

[smtpgirl]

54. Mid-Atlantic

IMO, PA, NJ, DE, MD

VA is in the south
WV would be central/midwest
NY, Definitely New England-Northeastern

29. Please god somebody post a link to this at FR;

yep, we're all East and West Coast elitists in the Democratic Pary. Yes sir, that's us; nobody from flyover country at all. (Being from SC, I can use that term without it being a putdown; ain't nowhere more flyover than here.)

[SOteric]

30. ~This~ planet.

:hi:

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. California born and raised. Stuck in Texas these past 14 years and

probably forever. Don't get me wrong, I like Texas well enough, but there is no comparison between the two states and I miss my home state, badly.

[Derailer]

32. has anyone pointed out the irony

in undisclosedlocation posting a topic requesting we disclose our locations?

[Bossy Monkey]

38. Less ironic if you check my profile

(It's just an outdated Cheney reference.)

[Bossy Monkey]

42. One for the road n/t

[Dave Reynolds]

43. A meeting of sperm and ova.

An unlucky meeting, at that.

But I have lived in California for most of my life now.....

45. I actually meant, "Where do you live?" but obviously everyone is free to

interpret the question however they like, and I think most people took it your way. :hi: back

New Jersey to be specific (or Joisey as the rest of America likes to pronounce it.)
