Apparently I'm equal parts Newark, NJ and Jackson, MS... sounds about right, actually.

Nailed it: Philly/Southern NJ (which is really just a part of Philly that we annexed).

Fun quiz. It correctly pegged my Maryland heritage.

eta: Damn, Jimbo. How isolationist of you. Here's mine.

most similar:  Rockford, IL. (Home of Cheap Trick and economic collapse), Aurora, IL. (home of Wayne and Garth), Toledo, OH.

least similar:  Jersey City, New York, Philly

being a southside Chicago kid, these results are accurate.

We drink wooder, eat hoagies, and wear sneakers. Tennis shoes are for tennis (and even then, they're tennis sneakers).

This is pretty spot on. I grew up and live in the Baltimore area, but most of my family is from Raleigh, NC. I spent a lot of time down there growing up as well. They gave me Newark because I've always known it as "mischief night". Weird.

I guess you can take the boy out of NY but can't take the NY out of the boy
although there were some terms that I've changed over time (hero vs sub, traffic circle vs rotary)

Should've just taken the whole week off.  At least I'm telecommuting.

I went out last night with a good buddy of mine that is in town (he lives in Boulder), and fuck me.  Feeling incredibly rough.  first time in a long time, I got stoned before work to ease the hangover pains.  Gonna be a long day.  I have to go to my cousin's wedding tonight too
