Hmm, I got to thinking, why don't we play a game where everyone gives some general info on where they're from, no street addresses or anything, but things you like and dislike about the state or country that you're from.

I'm from Oklahoma, it's sortof the buckle of the Bible Belt, which blows, but we did give the world Will Rogers.

And what did we give the world?

I'm from Devon in England, and it seems to me, to be the place where everyone comes to retire and die or own a secound home which pushes up the house prices! Also because I come from Devon people always put on a ridiculous West country accent and assume I was bought up on a farm.
Devon has it's upside though ..the beautifull countryside....the long long beaches...and cream teas (yummy)
Frances Drake was born in Budleigh Salterton which is 3 miles down the road from my house.

I lived in Philly for over forty years, then I escaped
I now live in a quiet town called Little Britain right up the road from Nottingham(Are you getting the flavour of the place? ) Lets see now what famous people have we given to the world...ok there's Amos Stolsfus and Levi Glick, they build pole barns. Then there is old Jimmy, thats who we buy our hay from and of coarse Jesse Woods. He's a dairy farmer. We used to have a police force but about 5 years ago he asked the township for a raise so we had a meeting and fired him. Hmmmm oh yeah a guy named Robert Fulton. I'm not sure what he did but folks around here seem to make a big fuss about him

I'm from Malaysia.and what have we given the world.....woh...i don't really know,probably some extra piece of land to step on Earth?palm oil and rubber export??

i guess there's just nothing big after-all but all i have to say is that i love this place

I'm from Wisconsin and we're famous for our cheese.

Cheddar is my favorite - What's yours?

*Hey, maybe I should start a new thread asking members what their favorite kind of cheese is.

Well i'm a Londoner born and bred, and i count myself very lucky as i've been round the world and though there are many lovely places to visit London is the place i want to live. What has London given to the world - Too many things/people to mention... so i'll won't

I’m originally from Devon, and will be going back within the next month… What has Devon contributed to the world?

Clotted Cream, which is the best cream in the world as far as I’m concerned, added to that Cream Tea, yummy…. Now I really do miss England, lol.

I'm from Chicago!! We hate cheese(heads). j/k, we just hate the Packers.

I live in the South Island of NewZealand , the birth place of extreme everything apparently . We brought you comercialised bungy jumping remember that Kite surfing beach yaughting . Woah !! I mean dudes I even do extreme waitressing now the place is swamped with tourists .


Oh yes also famous for its lovely lakes and magnificent mountains .

I'm from Chicago. We had the best basketball team Now our sports teams are pathetic :\

I'm from Yonkers, New York. Nothing much has happened here. It's just a good place to experience almost everything that there is in life as a kid growing up to experience. It's only fun as a kid, as a teen theres not much to do except go to the city with friends and hang out there.

I currently live in Florida, and it sucks!!!!!!! The only good thing is the beaches, even then it freaks me out thinking that something is going to get me. The big roaches, blow!!!! Frogs everywhere.. People walking around looking like leather handbags. Hmmm, is there anything good here? oh... Disney World, Sea world.!!!






Reese

Oh. And we have the best pizza in America

Yeah but we have Geronimo, I bet he could take Robin Hood.

Of course, we also have Sam Kinison, The All American Rejects, and Color Me Badd...we apologize for Color Me Badd.

I'm from Chicago, and we have given the world some of the best music it has ever heard. And stop calling it Chitown!

I'm from Chicago.

Don't forget Chicago style hot dogs. Chicago style dogs come with everything but ketchup.

Hi y'all! I'm from Missouri--they call it the "Show-Me" state. Seems like there is a bunch of people from Chicago--great town, went to college up there. We have a lot of rivers and lakes, caves, and trees. Pretty cool here if you're into that sorta thing.

Go CHIEFS!!!!

Hi, I'm an Okie from Antlers. We also gave the world Slaughter and Buck Owens. Jim Ross too.

Never heard of Elohim City. We gots the crazy hillbillies though, wanna borrow some?

If I stick my head out the door I can hear dueling banjos

Ha ha! I'll tell you what's worse is when the two start breeding. I like the Rednecks, they can fix anything. Just hand em some baling wire and duct tape, then get out of the way!

I come from Bangalore, India. Bangalore is also know as the Silicon Valley of India, with software companies in every street and every other individual a software engineer. What did we give the world? Oh yes! We gave the world Zero, cant do much without the Zero.

Well, I'm from Missouri. It's not bad I live in very rural area now I used to live in the town I work in (keeping with the non-disclosure of names all I will say is the town I used to live in is the "aluminum boat capitol of the world).

I did live in a city for three months and hated every day so I came back to where I am now. The only thing I don't like about it is the messed up weather here.
