If I weren't blatantly (or not so blatantly) heterosexual, I would suggest we meet. We have so much in common.

Edit: This means that excluding Massachusetts residents, there is no longer a willing and viable reproductive population in the U.S of A. This quiz preaches salvation!

And I am OUTRAGED at the suggestion that I like the Yankees. UGH. I used to own a Yankees Suck T-shirt too.

And Philly IS the midwest.

And Wor-chester is the wrong way to say it, it's Woos-Ter, or w?st?r according to wiki.

Shrugging aside my obvious ignorance, I will now make an appropriately flippant/stalker-like comment.

We should definitely meet then.

Cute. :D

But I am SO not Massachusetts, despite living there for 7 years.

My NYC accent still gets made fun of. And NO, I'm NOT a Yankees fan.

That "regular" coffee thing of theirs pisses me the hell off. You know I had some Masshole at a Honeydew give me a "regular" coffee that was almost white and had 3 sugars in it??!! Everyone (in NYC) knows that "regular" coffee is tan and has 1 sugar. :mad:

And don't even get me started on their "driving."

Which brings up two flaws in the quiz:

1) There was nothing about traffic in it; and

2) The Big Dig doesn't look finished to me, unless the end product was supposed to be covered with rubble and filling with water.

True. There really should have been an option along the lines of "You think it is perfectly appropriate to pass on the right. On the shoulder of the road. While making a left turn."

Ah, Massachusetts... :p

You Yankees loving homo! You probably think Starbucks coffee tastes better than Dunkin Donuts.

funny thing is - pretty much the only question I could answer in all honesty was "There's no way I'd pick Starbucks over Dunkin Donuts."
Also, what's up with 'regular' coffee has cream and sugar in it?
only way I CAN drink coffee is double shot espresso - which, coincidently, is the only way it SHOULD be drunk, thank you very much.

As a quiz and as an attempt at humour, this thing fails miserably.

I didn't even submit the quiz because I knew I would get a 0%. Negative points for being a Yankees fan (come on, I'm from their old AAA team's hometown...before they ditched them...grumblegrumble...whatever, baseball's full of steroid-enhanced whiners these days anyway) and for the fact that I don't even drink coffee. Or eat donuts.

I got 60%...which is about right, since I grew up in NH, and live "outside 495" now...but "everyone" knows that MA ends at 495, and WMASS should just secede from MA.

I think that they consider the Big Dig finished, because it's no longer collapsing on drivers...but...I could be wrong.

I think Toronto is the closest I've ever been to Massachusetts too.

Also, my Massachussettsness is limited by the fact that I pronounce Rs on the ends of words that have them (car) and leave them off the end of words that don't have them (Cuba). Also, Tim Horton's > Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks.

ROFL. I was born in Australia and moved to the greatest state in the US when i was 16, i've only been here 9 years and i've already lost my Australian accent. Other Mass residents don't recognize that i'm not originally from here. I'm a patriotic Massachusessian. And Yes i'm a far left liberal homosexual loving america hating arrogant upper class elitist. (All of which i've been called at some point by New York residents). Hail Mass!

Well the rest of the state is wrong. Pretty much everyone west of Newton, south of Cambridge and north of Salem are wrong. Boston, Arlington etc and a little island of correctness in the cape cod area that is my holiday home is the only part of Mass that is correct about anything. The rest of the state and the rest of the country are wrong about everything.

The Boston area and my second home in the cape should be consulted on everything. And we alone should decide who is president, wether or not gravity exists and other little things like that.

See, people in Boston and the rest of the eastern part of the state think they are big shit and that everything west of Worcester doesn't matter. I lived in Deerfield for most of my stay in MA (I still can't believe my parents had us move) and I can say that we certainly wanted a say in what happens in the state.

Though we could turn our noses down on those preppies going to Deerfield Academy. Too good to go to public, eh?

I was trying to be generous with drawing Worcester as the line that separates the true civilization and the "who cares?" part of the world. But I suppose I shouldn't have done that.

I'm 25 and lived in Boston/the Boston area all my life, so I suppose this makes sense. However I must point out that many Bostonians, such as myself do pronounce "r" in the appropriate place. It's mainly people from Southie and Charlestown that have those thick accents (at least in my experience). And a lot of us are also aware of the universe outside of 495. Not all of us though, I will give you that :-)
