Back Me Up East-Coasters

I never considered myself much of an “east-coaster.” I mean, yes geographically that is what one would call me, but personality wise I always considered myself above the east-coast stereotype of living an uptight, unfriendly, rushed sort of existence. In fact the majority of my circle of family and friends would not comply with this definition. BUT there are some things that make my east-coast origin stick out like a sore thumb and I cannot deny the fact of where my allegiance lays.

A coke is a “soda” not “pop.” The beach is WAY BETTER than the Lakes, I don’t care if you put the adjective “Great” in front of them, they are still nothing more than bodies of water surrounded by land. The ocean on the other hand is a massive body of water, encompassing a HUGE percentage of the Earth that offers more exploration, fun and adventure than a lake could EVER offer! Come on, who’s ever heard of snorkeling in a lake? The big complaint is that the ocean is “too salty.” Okay, people suck it up! Swallowing a mouth full of salt water is an initiation right in most families I know! A large sandwich on an Italian roll is a “Hoagie” not a “sub” and the only way to get it is at Wawa! AND NO, “Wawa” is not a baby word, it is the name of the happiest place on Earth. Mid-westerners seem to think that’s Disney world . . . but east-coasters know different! And finally, Mr. Herr, could you please introduce your product to the rest of the world . . . what’s this “Lays” business . . . I want my Honey BBQ Chips!

I’m really having a great time, don’t get me wrong with this posting. It’s just . . . well I had to get some things off my back! In fact when I’m home for break I fully intend on having a SODA and HOAGIE from WAWA!!!
