Your state as a guy in a bar

[taxguykarl]

A fun read

My native Illinois:

Illinois is a larger gentleman, eating deep dish pizza and drinking a Goose Island. He's reminiscing about the '85 Bears and how "this is the Cubs year".

[mjr]

Texas is singing karaoke about how great Texas is.

Yep. And don't you forget it!

Either I'm blind or they left out North Dakota.

Either I'm blind or they left out North Dakota.

No, you're right...I didn't see it, either.

I'm originally from Arizona.

Arizona is the bouncer, kicking Mexicans out who are trying to get in from the bar across the street. Ironically, he's drinking Tecate.

Ouch.

Now I live in Oregon:

Oregon is the hipster drinking the eclectic craft microbrew that nobody's even heard of.

I would've described Oregon as the aging hippie wearing faded tie-dye and smoking a joint.

Either I'm blind or they left out North Dakota.

North Dakota is mentioned in the Minnesota quote.

Born and raised in Maryland

Maryland is drinking a Chesapeake margarita. Rim lined with Old Bay. He is insisting that everyone try his drink because it's really good if you just give it a chance, but no one else seems to get it.

Sounds about right. Then I lived for three years in Texas. mjr covered that above, and all I can say is that Texas is highly overrated.

Now I live in Virginia.

Virginia is drinking some local craft beer that their friend made at their brewery. They will only talk about all of the fancy craft beer they have drank while complaining about traffic.

Yeah, that summarizes Northern Virginia pretty well. I dunno if the rest of the state would agree.

i agree with montana

Montana has to be two different people. Eastern Montana is a cowboy drinking Budweiser and gets into a fight with Wyoming over sheep vs. cattle, but this happens every week and they make up afterwords. Western Montana, on the other hand, is a hipster/hippie throwback with dreadlocks who drinks craft beer or PBR and absolutely reeks of marijuana

Canada is a guy wearing a toque and a plaid shirt, drinking boilermakers made with (what else?) Canadian Club and Molson Canadian, and telling everyone who'll listen that he's not associated with those hosers at the bar next door.

...when he's not incessantly talking about hockey.

Colorado is a beautiful, perfectly athletic couple wearing all Patagonia, drinking craft beer and talking about their last mountaineering trip, with an air of aloofness.

...sounds about right.

North Dakota is missing. The only mention of ND is being a brother-in-law to Minnesota, which doesn't count.

The only thing they got right about PA is Yuengling.

I think I've seen these guys!

The New York one only counts for the NYC area. Where I live, New York is a guy in jeans and a T-shirt, knocking back the LaBatt's or the Genesee Cream Ale in a neighborhood gin mill, talking about how "this is the year we go to the Super Bowl!" while watching the football team lose by 24 points on the bar's TV

The New York one only counts for the NYC area.

That stands to reason, since NYC acts as if the rest of the state doesn't matter. Canada has a similar issue with Toronto - when the Globe and Mail wants to find out how people in Western Canada feel about an issue, they send a reporter to Mississauga.
