Austin is just downright cool. Not necessarily one of the largest metropolises in the country, but very nice and an excellant quality of life nonetheless.

Get the blame mug.An area of the U.S., primarily the South, that has an enormously large number of Protestants. It's also a stereotypical term that recognizes the far southern United States for its faith, morals and huge presence of Protestant denominations including the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the world’s largest Protestant denomination. This stereotype paints people in the region as Rednecks, NASCAR lovers, radical Bible thumpers, and narrowminded bigots.

Get the Bible belt mug.A nice place to visit but dam if you want to live there. The city of the angels. The silicon and plastic surgery capital of the world, thanks to the Hollywood culture and Beverly Hills. People are often confused at the term “Los Angeles.” The truth is that there are 3 Los Angeleses: the city, the county (the most populated in the U.S.) and the greater metro area (which includes Orange county). The 2nd largest city and metro area in the United States and home to over 14 million people--10 million in L.A. County alone. It is a hub of commerce, industry, transportation and motion picture production. L.A. is notorious for street gangs (more than any other U.S. city), car chases, traffic jams (the worst in the U.S.), police corruption, earthquakes, wild fires, mudslides, air pollution (the worst of any metro area in the U.S.) and superficial pricks/fake people (your car labels you) and an outrageous cost of living. The metro area is nicknamed “a hundred suburbs in search of a city” meaning that there is no real city center like in most cities. Its native Angelenos probably do not even know where the “real” downtown Los Angeles actually is. The city of Los Angeles covers well over 400 square-miles and is actually composed of a number of included communities as it expanded such as North Hollywood, Encino, Van Nuys, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, Van Nuys, Northridge, Tarzana (all in the sprawling San Fernando Valley), Hollywood, Bel Air, Westwood, Watts, Venice Beach, Palisades (all in the L.A. basin) and a number of others.

Get the Valentines Day mug.It amazes me of all the silly descriptions of a small town by ignorant people on here. No, I dont live in one, but I did for a while. They are not all the same. Yes, some are poor, but some are also very affluent (Lake Zurich, Illinois for example).
A small town is the anithesis of a big city, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A small town is a community where people are a generally friendly, laid back folk, and where everybody knows almost everybody there. If you stop and ask for directions, the person giving you the directions will probably turn it into a conversation. The community is probably a speed trap, but the police who give you a speeding ticket are often known and called by their first name. You are usually not afraid to unlock your doors (although I wouldn't do it). Most businesses in town are family-owned ma-and-pa stores threatened by the Walmart nearby, which is probably the community's largest employer. The Mayor probably has another job on the side. You also know your'e in a small town because the people raise a stink over a new business coming in, fearing that it will create "traffic congestion." Some small towns can be suburbs or exurbs of a large meropolitan area.

Get the small town mug.One of the funniest and most clever 1990s sitcoms airing on ABC. The show centered around the stand up acts of comedian, Tim Allen. His character, Tim Taylor hosts a Detroit cable tool show called Tool Time. He is very masculine and interested in all aspects of the male mind: he is always building a hotrod in the garage, is sexist, HATES the opera, grunts, loves tools, loves sports and loves building things. He is however blessed with ineptitude. His ineptitude includes anything from glueing his head to a table to falling through a roof or a portapotty to dropping a two-ton beam on his wife's car. Home Improvement had a cleverly-written script and writers. It won a number of Emmys.
Home Improvment was a great show. Gags from the show:
1. the neighbor, Wilson's face NEVER being seen
2. everybody screws up Wilson's advice.
3. Tim's wife Jill cant cook.
4. Tim is always building a hotrod in the garage.
5. Tim's cohost, Al has an obsession with flannel.
6. Tim is always making fun of Al, his mother-in-law and basically anything he doesnt understand
7. Wilson's amazing knowledge of culture and history.
