Well, the North gets mocked pretty soundly in the South, too. (According to several of the girls in my dorm at college, Northerners are all rude, spoiled know-it-alls. And possibly going to hell.)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Our wings are not tired.
Hmmmm. That's true. When I am visiting relatives in Texas, most of their Kerrville friends make fun of California. Actually, they make fun of San Francisco. We're all a bunch of "gay-loving hippies".

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay. I did my taxes.
Phew

I've been the target of anti-northern bias from S herself no less. I call her on it, too.

Ahhh, yes, I remember my Boston co-worker asking me why I was moving to "San Fag Disco."
Though my favorite is meeting people who just presume that everybody who lives in a city is likely to be murderized the second they walk out the door. "I would never live in a city!"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah. When my sister was little she was spending the summer with my Grandmother down south. One of her new friends introduced my sister to her parents by saying: This is Rachel, she's from New York but she's really nice.
And the girl's parents were plesantly surprised by my Sister's good manners and complimented my Grandmother on them.
Of course, we were actually from New Jersey but when my Grandmother pointed this out she was told they were the same thing.

I have finally stopped hearing "You ride the SUBWAY?!?!?"
Um, yeah. Like every single day? They don't have guys with sharpened screw drivers waiting for you at the turnstyles.

If she's so well-mannered how come she was such a bitca the year you were both living with your Mom?

The status is NOT quo.
Though my favorite is meeting people who just presume that everybody who lives in a city is likely to be murderized the second they walk out the door. "I would never live in a city!"Heh. Yeah. I get that a lot back home when I say I live in L.A. Given where I spend most of my time, I find it hysterical.
I've gotten a lot of anti-Yankee bias any time I've been in the South and in Texas. It annoys me sometimes, but not enough to get worked up about. I do think in terms of bias against Southerers, though, that the stereotype of being stupid would bother me.
Oh wait. Blonde. Right.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am a Formula 1 fanHow did I not know this? Why have we not been sharing in this love? Who do you like? Sorry. Got a little fangirly glee going on there.
They don't have guys with sharpened screw drivers waiting for you at the turnstyles.No, it's even scarier than that. There were people who wanted me to engage in ... casual conversation with them. On the subway! Dude, be aloof. And don't talk to the misanthrope. It's just confusing.
