    'a lot' is relative

    it's like 'you don't know the meaning of winter'

    of course i bloody do, my winters just aren't as cold as yours

    Central Avenue

    i kid, i kid

    but for serious

    if there are sufficient hills in Pennsylvania to restrict traffic then there are a lot of hills in comparison to some places

    so there are a lot of hills

    there's not a flat acre of land in this state!

    no flatness. at all.

    i shouldn't be on this site though

    Bill Brown is actually quite an engaging writer, i simply have no attention span

    and terms like 'retroprojection', 'museal' and 'all-at-onceness' make me nervous

    well then

    Aliroz's laughter is bewildering

    it's not entirely my fault

    i wanted to take it at GCSE level but i couldn't fit it into my timetable, as it clashed with history

    so evidently it's my birthday or something because holy fuck

    Yeah, but Pennsylvania's so small you could climb a mountain and see it all at one time.  It's a tiny state, like, all little-like.  Like maybe thirty miles across.  Delaware-size, or maybe Vermont.

    Pennsylvania is at least twice the size of Delaware, if not more. Not to mention, it takes almost two hours to cross Delaware anyway.


    Pennsylvania is way more than twice the size of Delaware...

    Two things come to mind with Delaware: House Industries and WPVI's spiel including "Delaware Valley's leading news program"

    please, go on

    science is always welcome

  • Should I flash my phone back to stock?

    I feel like I should, for some reason.

    What reason could you possibly have, Centy?

    I must admit, though, Pennsylvania does have lakes.  As in, actual lakes; not those wimpy ponds they have where I live. And on actual inspection it does appear that Pennsylvania has respectable rolling-type hills (a smaller type of hill, but still a hill.  Not every mountain has to be the Himalayas to be big.  I mean, it's not like you guys are in Kansas.  A Sherpa would probably laugh at my mountains.).  Still, not all that big to my raised-with-mountains-always-in-view-eyes.

    Also, rivers, Pennsylvania has real rivers, not those glorified creeks I'm used to.    I bet you guys would have the same uncontrollable laughter at the ponds I think of as lakes.

    And the storms I get in my valley are completely miniscule and all baby-like compared to the Nor'easter.

    what are you talking about, Kappa

    New England has to be a state, they've got a great football team, Kappa.

    You guys might not know what Winter really is, but, then again, I don't know what Fall truly is.  I hear you guys have lovely Autumns over there.

    New England has no ABC O&Os, and neither does Minnesota or Florida

    Oh, and the martians aare having uncontrollable laughter at the people who admire the Himalayas and Grand Canyon.

    you know

    Britain lacks the gigantic geographic features of the Americas, your Grand Canyons and your Lake Superiors, your Amazons and your Patagonian Steppes

    but i think it would be wrong to deny the Lake District, or the White Cliffs, or the Welsh Valleys, purely on the grounds of insufficient scale

    they are, after all, things of beauty

    our winters may not be so cold as some, but they are winters, nonetheless, and they are beautiful
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    we are, however, largely ignorant of Fall, due to linguistic differences
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    And here I was thinking our winters are grey and dead-leavesy.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    well they are that too

    but look closer

    Oh, you have Avebury, Stonehenge, Mildenhal, Beau Street, Saint Albans, Sutton Hoo, Cerne Abbas, and Offa's Dyke; just to name a few.

    -sincerely in wonder at the archeological richness of England-
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i mentioned none of those things

    You didn't have to.

    The Mildenhal treasure is laughing at the coin I found buried in the back yard.  Your Rosetta Stone is mocking the scratched pebble I picked up (I know it's egyptian, but it's in England).

    Also, the sheer number and diversity of british accents astounds me.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    the USA has a history too you know, and a considerably longer one than the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, if one ignores that which preceded each

    and it at the very least makes up in eventfulness for what it lacks in ancient relics

    as for the accents, those developed in an age before modern media and transportation; they are often heavily stigmatized and many are dying out

    we have some mountains in Pennsylvania

    they might not be the biggest ever but they're big enough

    In Ohio, a single solid white line means lane changing is "discouraged" and a double white stripe means lane changing is prohibited by law. Is that the case in Pennsylvania?

    it is 03:38 and i am on HH

    i must have a fail wish

    that's like a death wish, only academic

    i also have Hershey's Kisses, for the first time

    they taste... odd

    not dreadful, not even unpleasant, just not how chocolate is supposed to taste

    like, almost aggressively milky and buttery, compared to Cadbury or Galaxy
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I like Hershey's Kisses, always have

    YNTKT
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i could grow to like them, i think

    but i am procrastinating, still

    I've heard American chocolate is comparatively shitty but I dunno, I've never tasted chocolate from Europe or whatever so I have no point of reference
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i tried expensive French chocolate once, when i was little

    i found it unbearably bitter

    Swiss chocolate is excellent, as is Belgian chocolate

    British chocolate is simply comfort food

    Phone cases are weird

    They get all worn and dirty-looking from constantly having our grubby little hands all over them, but we all use them anyway because we want to protect our relatively expensive devices
  • I don't advocate fighting fire with fire

    BUT

    I would not be opposed to the idea of Michael and Debi Pearl being brutally beaten.

    Lindt & Sprüngli is an Italian company...

    "a novel reification of people and a new personification of things that did not result ... from society's saturation with the commodity form"

    argh

    i know what these words mean

    but the sentences
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i am not getting anything from this
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    how can you novelly reify that which is real?

    what is a "commodity form" and in what sense is society saturated with it?

    and what the hell is 'insular eachness'?
