scranton

Scranton is a city in north-east Pa that is, and the only way to describe it, fucked up. Built on coal when that shit is what people used to keep from dying and heat their homes in the winter (even uppity fucks from NYC who think they are a self sufficient planet and could secede from the universe)but has fallen on hard times as has the industry. The people who live there have been festering resentment at everybody while at the same time trying to maintain their dignity and history. Also, it is close to NYC and Philly so intelligent and entrepreneurial criminals set up shop there to take advantage of the situation. What does this mean, Scranton has idiosycrancies that are both cool and weird. Is so fucked up that it cannot be compared legitimately to any other city. And is a place where some kind old granny will fry you up a batch of pierogies with mangoes (green peppers in Scranton) if you ask her nicely, or some meth head will shank your spleen for the last of your warm beer. Was the home of the Molly Maguires, the original gang who fucked up shit old school. Google it sometime.

The urban planning in Scranton is thus: church, bar, church, church, bar, crackhouse, university, bar, church, bar.

wisconsin

Was like Czechoslovakia, that is before communism came to an end, and is now worse. Has nice parts but suffers from childish inferiority complex to Illinois. That is silly, because while Chicago is a fine town, the rest of Illinois is a wasteland.

Hey, it's Wisconsin. It like going to Czechoslovakia, we'll zip in we'll zip out.

gurgle jerk

One of the many names from an early Dave Letterman skit called "Name your baby when you're angry". Includes the names Crib Lizard and Mr. Drips. Can be used in place of the word baby.

Let's get out of the house before the missus sticks us with the gurgle jerk.

pringle

Strange, odd and disconcerting person. Much like the food stuff that is a potato chip, but not really a potato chip

That new guy is a fucking pringle. I wouldn't be surprised if he has his whole family and a pack of squirrels buried under his crawl space.

vomit comet

Adoring nickname for the Gravitron ride that shows up at volunteer firemen's carnivals and county fairs. Usually operated by an anti social meth addict, the vomit comet plays grating 80's glam metal very loud to make your ears bleed so you don't notice your stomach unfolding inside out and your funnel cake and coke slamming back into your face a Mach 1.

Dude, no cotton candy before the tilt a whirl, no sausage before the zipper, and no liquids before the vomit comet
