Buffy ,'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Snow now? What's with Utah this year? Didn't you guys have relatively warm weather while we on the East Coast were digging out from record snows? I thought by this time of year, you all were supposed to go skiing in shorts.
For the past few years, our winters have shifted to later in the season. We'll get surprisingly balmy weather into December but have measurable snow into May. I was expecting this.

Who wouldn't?? You should hear me say Detroit.
I just had my last meeting for my now former job. Aw! I have to send some farewell emails and make a couple of calls, but that's it! Crazy.
I live in NC and my sis definitely went to AppaLATCHen State University.
In NC we have BOW-fert and SC they have BYU-fert. Both are spelled Beaufort.

I've recently noticed that people pronounce my new state in different ways. Call-a-RAD-o and Col-or-AH-doe. Strange.

Oh dear. The impossibly white boy in the trucker cap KILLED me.
I think the closest Buffista to Johnson City, TN is probably Emily (isn't she near Blackburg?)
As someone whose parent attended Mariemont High School and lived there until yesterday (they just moved out to Oxford, "downsizing" to a house that is technically bigger, whatever). Steph you are saying it all wrong! Definitely MARY-mont. Are you from the West Side or something? Do we need to have a Cincinnati throwdown?

That's like the nuh-VAD-a that people in NV apparently say.
I will wait for megan to arrive and point out that "Cheviot" would not be pronounced that way in actual French. Faux-French may have different rules.

Ahahahaha!!! I grew up way out in Clermont County, which -- at least in the 1970s -- does not qualify as "East Side." It was totally seen as rednecks back then. And for some reason, the way we pronounced things tended to follow West Side rules. Go figure. And then it just stuck.
