(You can play the same game with big stretches of the southwest as well: lots of movies claim to take place in AZ but are filmed anywhere between SoCal and Oklahoma.)
I'm going to disagree with Mark. SD had way more trees because of the Black Hills. ND has shelter belts and some forest around Devils Lake and that's about it.
But the Plains know no border and this landscape stretches way up into Canada.
I was stationed out at Ellsworth AFB, S.D back in 88-94. S.D is a barren waste land. I worked the Missile fields, its a lot of nothing, and most of the trees are scrub bushes in the badlands and Black Hills.
This post made me think about the long long ago - but what if Al Gore was right and the internets was melting the ice caps and polar bears were gaining sentience and SkyNet replaced our NORMAL coffee with Folgers crystals... and... and...(http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Extension/fieldtrips/guidebooks/NWKS/figs/geo.gif) and then I was like "OMG Smokers!" and then Kevin Costner was drinking his own pee and I had to toss my hands way up in the air (and wave them all around like I just don't care).
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
I can almost see the blood soaked wood chipper in the distance.
ReplyDeleteThat's in Brainerd, MN, Paul. C'mon.
ReplyDeleteDude it's all the same frozen wasteland.
ReplyDeleteAlso Canada.
ReplyDeleteYeah that looks like Ontario to me. I think I'll be making that drive on the number 3 bypass out to Kingsville in about 2.5 hours.
ReplyDeleteReminiscent of Saskatchewan, only with more topography.
ReplyDeleteJust like South Dakota except N.D has more trees.
ReplyDeleteSee!? I claim vindication.

Oh yeah, Black Hills is gorgeous. Spent a couple weeks hiking around in there.

ReplyDeleteThey always put missile silos in the worst places.
ReplyDeleteBest proximity to Moscow, fewest civilian casualties for a counterstrike.

ReplyDeleteSo to summarize: I can't remember if I took my medication today.
