Bernda, Brendar, Bernadette, etc.: I just can't improve on the Beatles: "Happiness is a warm gun."
Pepperoni Pizza (sorry, Matt, that's all I've got): Happiness is a (warm, if that's part of it) Koto Gaieshi throw. =).
Spammy, Smappy, Spammers, Spammish, etc.: "Happiness is ssenippah spelled backwards."
Doogles: "Happiness is never feeling lonely."
Abby (I know you have nicknames, but I don't know what they are): Let's see, for me Happiness would have to be either, chocolate chip cookies being held by an attractive man named Dave and/or sleeping in on a weekday.
Crown Prince Adam Who Still Has My Pottery: Happiness is how you want things to be even though it might never be possible.
Buxty, 'Po, Dana Wiseass: Hapiness is....... -a slow dance under the stars with the one you love. :-) Ahhhh I'm so sentimental today.
Beppy Loo: well, happiness is three things for me... Happiness is a warm bath (that's the warm one). Happiness is a pug. Happiness is cinnamon scented candles
Jahad: Happiness is cheesecake and buffalo wings.
Bry: "Happiness is... ... a nap on a rainy day under a warm blanket with a fire in the fireplace..."
Skanky Pahoehoe (and many, many more): Happiness is:
- Friends
- Love letters
- Sleeping late
- Singing in the car
- Leaving New Jersey ;)
- Old video games
- eee!
- A good back massage
- Answering survey questions
The Luk: Happiness is an act? Happiness is infectious.
Andrew Berman: Happiness is ...
- A full Quotebook
- a good Bglowslieth word
- Garlic
- Crackfiends
- Being the bigger person
- Getting photos developed
- Winning at billiards
- Playing Celebrities
- Phi Sigma Pi
- Meeting someone who gets the No Soap Radio joke :)
- Procrastination (until it bites you in the ass)
Bethy (over IM): I wish to issue a gentle reminder that I am from Michigan and it is indeed a worthwhile state. Also, there's a person named Henry Ford who created something that we're all very thankful for... you know, Detroit Motor City. Wahoo. Not to mention Kid Rock and Eminem.. wait, never mind. Madonna. That's a keeper.
Brenda: And I could definitely do without Idaho. I like potatoes and all, but really, how often does anyone ever remember Idaho exists? I don't think anyone really lives there. I think it's an imaginary state. I'd say get rid of New Jersey, but Pennsylvania and New York need it as a buffer from the awfully dirty Atlantic Ocean. Or maybe the ocean's dirty because of New Jersey..... Keep PA, NY, Maryland (as should be obvious to anyone who knows me), Georgia, because I know cool people from Georgia, and Ohio and Michigan, which I would have thrown away before I knew Abby and Bethy. I wouldn't want them to be homeless.
Lindsay: (And I'd just like to say, in favor of keeping Maryland, there's me, for one, and the fact that in very few other places can you be introduced to crabs and be happy about it.)
- Any state belonging to the Ass Crack of America (a.k.a. Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arkansas, etc.)
- Both Dakotas, gone.
- Frankly, Texas, too.
Doug: We should definitely Keep New York, Vermont, Florida, California, and Texas. I think we should chuck New Jersey and Connecticut, but there are some cool people who live there, so they should move to New York first. Massachusettes can stay as long as they speak normally. Oklahoma should definitely go far away, along with Kansas. :-)
Abby: As for the states, Iowa is very useful for farming purposes. I would get rid of one of the square states out west, like Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. They are a lot like Mexico, hot dry humid...We could still visit them and it would be cheaper if they were a part of Mexico. I like farming states, very valuable, indeed. I could absolutely not stand to lose Ohio or New York, California, Florida or NOrth Carolina, Jersey could go as long as the people with the money move to Maine or New Hampshire and Atlantic City of course stays in the U.S. I would like to put in a vote for Toronto to become part of the US or just to move closer to Syracuse so I could visit more often.
Adam: States that should be banished to the center of the sun:
- Iowa: The corn population should not exceed 30x the human population of any
state.
- Rhode Island: Unless it stops calling itself an island, adios.
- Arkansas: So they add "ar" to the front and pronounce "kansas" as "kensaw".
The deception of really being part of Kansas stops here!
- New Mexico: A change of name without "Mexico" in it must be in order.
- North Dakota: Is anything there besides mounds of snow?
- West Virginia: C'mon folks, please think of a more original name or else!
Finally, a small part of Pennsylvania. No, not all. I know too many people
there to have beef with the entire state. Just the town of Clarks Summitt,
home of evil and everything that's wrong in the world. (Screw you McDonalds
and toll booth fucker who gives me Canadian money!!)
Dana: Kansas-it is flat and boring and extremely too hot. West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi- I am convinced that everyone on those trashy talkshows are from there. Hence, these states are full of trash. (Also, they are full of right-wing conservatives! lol ;-) )
Tomperiffic: i definitely have the food which best describes my college experience and life in colorado. Rocky Mountain Oysters. for those of you who dont know what they are its deep fried bull testicles mmmmmmm (kinda tastes like chicken) and yes ive eaten them before. as for beverage that describes college id have to say jungle juice
Beth Larsen: As for the answer to your second question, i'd like to
say Tennessee. I dn't know much of anything pointful that comes from that place. Or even better Kentucky. Kentucky just plain sounds yucky and i don't like the few people I've met who come from there. Besides, all those people are all accenty and shit.
Sara, and I think Dan: States I don't need:
- NEW JERSEY. duh.
- Maine. (Mikey doesn't like it anyway)
- Georgia. Peaches are overrrated.
- Oklahoma. It's not OK.
- Nebraska. Why do we have a Nebraska anyway?
- Montana. Sorry Lauren, it's just not worth it.
- South Dakota. Dan says we can move mount rushmore, and no he did not read the quotebook first.
- West Virginia. We didn't know it was there anyway.
- Wyoming. We'll keep Yellowstone as a territory, because you can fit the population of wyoming in it anyway.
- Alabama. It's embarassing.
- Texas. I am, in fact, messing with it.
- Illinois. I forget Chicago most of the time anyway.
- Missouri. It's spelled wrong.
- Arkansas. See above.
- Utah. Sorry, I just don't get mormons.
- Michigan (the dog). Hi, you're canada.
- South Carolina. There's a wee bit full of themselves.
- Tennessee. My cousin moved, it is no longer necessary.
- Indiana. I don't have a reason, I'm just a bitch like that.
- Minnesota. I couldn't even remember it existed.
States I'm keeping:
- New York. Duh.
- Florida. It's the happiest place on earth.
- Arizona. I like Cacti.
- New Mexico. I like New Mexico.
- California. San Francisco is kind of neat.
- Hawaii. One day I might have enough money to go there.
- Alaska. It's humorous.
- Washington. Seattle is useful sometimes for a band or some coffee.
- Ohio. They have nice people. And lauren kind of needs it.
- Pennsylvania. I had a cheesesteak once.
- Massachusetts. I think I can spell it.
- Connecticut. I know I can spell it.
- Rhode Island. My aunt and uncle live there, and it's a cute little thing.
- New Hampshire. Seth's from there, and he's kind of important.
- Vermont. Apparently, there's this activity where you strap boards to your feet... I guess some people like that sort of thing.
- Colorado. They've got a river. and a tompy.
- Michigan (the mitten). Hi Beth.
- Maryland. They have volleyball there.
- North Carolina. I went hanggliding there.
- Kansas. I like bread, we need to keep one of these.
- Kentucky. They have a derby of some kind.
- Iowa. I like how it's spelled.
- Idaho. Delicious potatoes...
- Oregon. Kids wouldn't get the game otherwise.
- North Dakota. which shall now be known as Dakota, because quite frankly Dakota is a cool name for a state.
- Wisconsin. Behold the power of cheese.
- Virginia. My family, and busch gardens, and Dave, and Adam and Christine kind of need it.
- Louisiana. You can carry open liquor in New Orleans.
- Delaware. It has the lowest highest point.
- Mississippi. We need it to count.
- Nevada. Vegas has TWO Guggenheim museums.
- D.C. Yeah hi.
Long Island is to become an independent state because
we damn well should be. (We got all the way of Minnesota without the use of a
map. 49/50 ain't bad.)
Jared: ...And I think that as a general rule, these states are pretty useless. Everyone always confuses them anyway: Idaho, Iowa, Ohio. ...And what's with this north and south stuff? How about just Carolina, and Dakota?
...And while we're at it, let's combine the Virginias. ...News flash... The states aren't that new anymore. So lets make it a little easier: York, Hampshire, Mexico, Jersey. ...So now we finally have room to add Puerto Rico.
So I only eliminated 6 states, but I think it's a little bit easier. And those are my 2 cents.
Bryanna: Consider those states where family, friends, or people
you like live. ---PA, NJ, CO, AZ, CA, MI, NY, ME, NH, RI. Consider those states where you go on vacation. --SC, FL, CA, CO, UT. Consider those states that make things you like, like cheese or horsies. --Wherever Klaussen Pickles are jarred (I looked to find it online, but couldn't - I think it may be part
of Kraft Foods, Intl.).
Lusky: i am slightly bitter about losing my state of Minnesota. please dont lose it since I'm moving there again. and I'd lose my favorite relatives.
im in scotland by the way. yay! mwah, (kissy noise)

California = I California dream, on such a winter's day!

Conneticut = I'm never awake for this state, I would like to make it part of massachussetts, and move boston to be right across the sound from home

Andrew Berman: I live in New York, and it has the greatest city in the world, so I'll keep it. I have family in New Jersey (I know) and Florida, and I'd like to continue to be able to visit them. Friends of mine go to school in Massachusetts, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado, and I'd like them to get their degrees. Friends of mine live in Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, Maine, New Hampshire, and Michigan (as I was so gently reminded), so they get to stay. My dad needs Arizona for businessy things. Oregan has a thriving gay community in Portland. Vermont is the most progressive in granting gays equal rights (I wouldn't keep it for skiing alone. The snow kind of sucks there). My cousin-in-law just started school at Duke, and she's really cool, so I'll keep North Carolina. Utah has some damn fine skiing, I hear. Nevada has Las Vegas and Louisiana has New Orleans (and its abbreviation is LA!). That leaves...
- Connecticut and Rhode Island: Now the Long Island Sound is bigger. Thanks.
- Delaware: Actually, it doesn't have the lowest highest point, despite what Moxy Fruvous will tell you. Gbye.
- West Virginia: And now it's gone.
- South Carolina: I've become attached to the idea of an "Inferior Bay" :)
- Georgia: Never really liked peaches.
- Alamaba: It shall be forever immortalized in song, so we don't need it anymore.
- Mississippi: I, actually, can count without it.
- Texas: It will be removed after Justine (who may or may not be a robot) graduates from Baylor.
- New Mexico: New? It is SO five minutes ago.
- Wyoming: Why bother? (homage to Bethy's friend Scott)
- Oklahoma: We have the musical, that's enough. Kristina, pack your things.
- Kansas: Sorry, Dorothy. Now there really is no place like it.
- Nebraska: "Omaha, somewhere in middle America." Counting Crows doesn't even know where it is! I'm with Tompy on this one.
- Tennessee and Kentucky: Too flat.
- Illinois and Indiana: Too tall.
- Washington, Montana, Idaho, The Dakotas: Nope, don't care.
- Iowa, Minnesota, and Arkansas: I'm laughing just thinking about them.
- Wisconsin: I don't like cheese. Behold the power of NOT GIVING A FUCK ABOUT CHEESE!! :)
- Missouri: Caz needs to have sex there. But it can be gone right after Martin Luther King Day.
- Hawaii and Alaska: Does anybody know WHY we have them?
So in summary...
Undisputed keepers: 8 people want to keep New York, 7 people want to keep California, Florida, and Pennsylvania (though Adam requests removal of Clark's Summit), 6 people want New Hampshire, 5 people want Massachusetts, Maryland, and Colorado, 4 people want Louisiana, and 3 people request that we keep Virginia and Nevada.
The banisheds: 6 people ask that we say goodbye to Arkansas and Tennessee, 5 people advocate the ousting of Oklahoma and Alamaba, and 3 people want to expel Missouri, South Dakota, and Nebraska from the union.
The even splits: There is equal representation on both sides on the issues of Texas, Alaska, Rhode Island, and Delaware.
We could get rid of Mississippi and North Dakota if it weren't for Sara. Disuhan is the only reason we're keeping Montana or Wyoming. Matt is the only one saving Indiana, Bryanna is South Carolina's only hope, and Lusky is the sole supporter of Minnesota.

Dana Wise:
- Don't eat Tuna within 15 feet of me. And at the small chance that you do and I don't flip out, do not...DO NOT think of heating it up cause hot tuna(tuna melts, tuna casserol) is even more disgusting than regular tuna.
- Don't come near me with vasoline. And please don't put it on your lips or on any part of your body around me.

Sara Rosehill: after consulting with my roommates and careful consideration of my own, I have decided on the following as the funniest thing I've said in your presence in the last 3 years:
Andrew: (signed) Red door.
Sara: Good. I'm glad all the deaf kids hiding in the
bushes know what we just walked through.
Brenda Welch: "You won the battle but we won the war, because you're like the Germans and we're like ... us!" Sept 27 2001
I only have four quotes! You need to be around more when I'm funny. She now has 7 quotes (12/10/01), I guess I'm hanging around her more, or perhaps she's having a funny renaissance :)
Andrew Berman: Still lookin.
Susan Sandler: Sues Law of break-up: The boy whom you broke up with over the summer will live in your building, on the same floor.
Margahat: If you want to use the computer lab, there is always a computer class or intro computer demonstration going on.
If you need to get to Dunkin Donuts by 5 pm, because they close, and the nearest dunkins that's open all night is behind the fenway, you will get there, and find that the shop actually closed at 3 pm.
If you start to do an impression of a teacher, the teacher will without exception, walk in the door behind you, and hear just enough of your impression to know who you are impersonating.
corrolary: if you are a TA, and your students ask if the teacher will notice this one mistake, you will unfailingly note that the teacher himself could NEVER see that. of course, the teacher will have stayed late that night and be standing behind you.
the one time you are late is the one time your boss is early.
corrolary: if you commute the same way as your boss, you will arrive at the same time as your boss. and thus discuss your tardiness while walking to your job.
Andrew Berman: Andrew's Law of Shitty Windstars: The amount of money spent on fixing a vehicle is inversely proportional to its longevity, and directly proportional to the volume of tears shed when it finally dies.

"Elderly Woman Sitting Behind a Counter in a Small Town" - Pearl Jam. becomes "Old Bitch"
Dana Buxtehude etc. Wise: hmmm...a college food? I would have to go with those damn sundae cups that they serve in Eggers. Not really because I like them, or even ate them that often, but because Adam bought them in bulk and was always trying to force them on people!
Sara Vivacious Redhead etc. Rosehill: the food that defines my college life is a souvlaki pita with tomato, onion, feta cheese, and special sauce.
second place goes to Cranberry jello with VERY OLD rum in it.
Miriam Schilsky: i'd have to say that the food that best represents my college experience is a mixture of all the candy in the candy aisle. some of it is sweet, others sour, comes in many forms, sizes, colors, but all of it makes you stronger. (what, you didn't know candy makes you stronger? well it does in my world ok?!)
Abby Vogus: I happen to believe the phallic shaped banana best
represents my college experience.
Kelly Stallard: The food of my college experience... I would have to say that it is pizza. Not because I eat a lotof it, because I most definetly do not, but because pizza is everywhere. I'd be willing to bet that you can find a pizza on every floor of every dorm on nearly every single night of the year. You can smell it when you walk down M street. You can buy it in Schine, Kimmel, or those lame-ass pizza bagel things from Sadler. And if you want to get all philosophical, pizza is as diverse and comes in as many size, shapes, colors, and flavors as all of the freaks I have met at Syracuse. (note, I would lump myself in with the freaks. It's the normal people that scare me.)
Margaret Bright-Ryan: here's another survey question which i feel is most important in choosing my "college" food: what DRINK best represents your college experience? many times i have lived on JUST coffee for several days in a row, so i thought it best to differentiate between food and drink my drink is, of course, COFFEE. therefore my food is anything available at the NU student center. for me, this is either a pepperoni pizza from pizza hut, a chicken sandwich from burger king, or a tuna sub from d'angelos.
Tomperiffic: i definitely have the food which best describes my college experience and life in colorado. Rocky Mountain Oysters. for those of you who dont know what they are its deep fried bull testicles mmmmmmm (kinda tastes like chicken) and yes ive eaten them before. as for beverage that describes college id have to say jungle juice
Jared Pellegrini: Ramen is good, and cheap, and when i think college food, that is the first thing that comes to mind. However, if I were to be symbolic about it, I'd say a taco salad. You know, the ones that come in a taco shell bowl. The simple people will just eat the salad part, and consider themselves done. Those who are smart will realize that the bowl is just as important as the rest.
Racquel Reinstein: The food that represents my college experience would have to be a grilled portobello mushroom...because I love them so much and I was able to eat them at teh Robert Purcell Dining Hall.
Prince Adam Joel Davidowitz: This one's a toughy (meaning I have to spend more than 2 whole minutes to think of the answer). . . Well my first two years I never really had one food enough to totally represent my whole dining hall experience and yes it was an experience. So I'm gonna base this on last year. I'm gonna go with pasta on this one. Spaghetti, ziti, rotini, lasagna (yes i know its not just noodles). Whatever kind of carbohyrated > goodness in noodle form, it's all good. So lets all get on our knees and pray to the Pasta gods. Now lets read from the book of Pasta chapter 4 verse 22: "And the Pasta of all kinds went forth throughout the land, multiplied and were plentiful." Oh man I could go on for hours here, but I won't.
Holly Montalbano: the food i think best represents college is ramen noodles cuz they are easy, hassle free and dont involve much thinking-kinda like some of those classes they require we take.
Doug Ethe: .....foood... mmmmm...... I think Neapolitan (sp) ice cream, because even tho I didn't eat ANY at all during college, its an amalgamation of numerous colors, flavors, and experiences, just like my college life. Kehehe...
Sheila Stanton: Hmm, I'm not so good at these "symbolic things" but I'll give it a whirl.... Food that best resembles college life.... I'll have to go w/ Fro Yo (Frozen Yogurt). That's the one thing that is always edible in the dining hall...quite possibly the only reason that I actually go to the dining hall and resembles the weather in Syracuse...it's usually cold and frozen but eventually it melts in to a sticky mess. Drink that best resembles college life...champagne....a celebration of life! and for the many interesting stories I have from nights of drinking champagne.
Kathleen Lukachinski: The food of college is: HONEY NUT SHREDDED WHEAT (thanks gary!)
Brenda Welch: Gummi worms. I've developed an obsession for anything gummi, particularly worms, and have been known to get very very upset when Schine or Kimmel is out of them. And also the soup at Blinker. I eat it like every freakin day. I think I personally finance Blinker.
Andrew Berman: As for food that makes me think of college, that would have to be chicken nuggets from the junction and all their fried, greasy goodness. The food I feel symbolizes college would have to be some strange combination of food like tuna fish and chocolate milk. you are so confused by all the sensations going on at once that you just don't know what to process first.
Miriam Schilsky: 1860s - star spangled banner. 2000s - i hope you dance - leanne womack. don't know when the others are: dirty dancing soundtrack, rock around the clock, raining men (70's)?
Kelly Stallard: Songs from the decades. Crickies, that's a hard question. This decade is too young to have produced anything commercially that is any good, so I will say that my favorite song of the current decade is Yo soy la morenica, a song that should not be in english, written by none other than Andrew Berman.
90s Easy. Horseshoes by Moxy Fruvous. Hands down.
80s I Need You Tonight by INXS
70s Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
60s Think by Aretha Franklin
50s Mr. Sandman by... everyone?
40s Bie Mir Bist du Schon, the Andrews Sisters
30s Goodnight my Love, Ella Fitzgerald
20s St. Louis Blues, Louis Armstrong
Yay!
Holly Montalbano: my favorite songs are um: midnite the stars and you-1920's , american pie-whenever that was written <60's or 70's-i wasnt alive yet>, and thats it. i dont keep songs as favorites for too long cuz i over play then in my head; except for the two above mentioned.
Doug Ethe: Hmm...Im really bad with knowing when what was, so Im guessing....Im sure that my cousin, the Encyclopedia of all useless knowledge will find things to correct :-P
80's: Its raining men (for obvious reasons), or Aritha Franklin's RESPECT
90's: Kitchen Wear and Candy Bars by Stone Temple Pilots
2000: Moulin Rouge (its SOOOO much fun!!!)
Thats all I know...jeeze I was only BORN in 82...what do you think I had prenatal ears?!?!
Sheila Stanton: Well there haven't been any amazing hits since the 80s in my book...It's a tough decision....but here are the highlights..."I think we're alone now"-Tiffany Everything by NKOTB (New Kids on the Block for the
non-believers) most importantly "The Right Stuff" and "Cover Girl" oh
goodness, now I can't stop singing them and last but not least, "Material
Girl"- Madonna
Kathleen Lukachinski: When unable to pick a favorite, (which was most of the time) I chose the one that I saw fitting the decade the best...or thought they would use in a movie trying to depict the decade.
1899 --Maple Leaf Rag - Scott Joplin
1902 -- The Entertainer - Scott Joplin
TIME WARP
30s - Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Judy Garland
40s - In the Mood - Glen Miller Orchestra
50s - Beep Beep - The Playmates (1958)
60s - With a Little Help from my Friends - Joe Cocker
70s - Stayin Alive - Bee Gees
80s - Material Girl - Madonna
90s - Jeremy - Pearl Jam
Andrew Berman: Even though the 00's are only a year and a half old, I have to say my favorite in that time span is "Drive" by Incubus.
90's - "2000 Years" Billy Joel
80's - "Papa Don't Preach" Madonna
70's - "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" Fleetwood Mac
60's - "Michelle, My Belle" The Beatles
TIME WARP
40's - "Symphonic Metamorphosis" Paul Hindemith
30's - "Gavotte" Sergei Prokofiev
20's - Bela Bartok's String Quartet No.5
10's - "St. Paul's Suite" Gustav Holst
The Slow Pokes
Dana Wise: I will get back to you with the other question.
Margaret Bright-Ryan: my favorite songs of decades will be returned via e-mail when i figure them out :) will reply soon
Tompy: ill get back to ya on the songs later.
Jared Pellegrini: hmm, that's a really tough one, and it will require more thought, i'll get back to you though.
Adam Davidowitz: Decades of Song to follow later. . .
The Cop Outs
Sara Rosehill: Favorite song of a DECADE? are you insane? I'm not
even going to attempt that one.
Abby Vogus: As for decades of favorite songs, I have no clue
because I can barely remember last year!!!
Racquel Reinstein: Favorite songs of the decades? How many decades? Do I have to go back to bibical times?
Kathleen Lukachinski: 1st of all: the farthest i've ever been is home. because if i go west, that is the most west destination i can go. same with north, south, and east. (Nope, I don't get it either.)
But in reality.
California is the most finite west place, london east, bahamas/florida south, toronto north.
(Dublin is actually the farthest North she's been)
Racquel Reinstein: NORTH: Montreal, Canada. SOUTH: Key West, Florida. EAST: Off the coast of Montauk. WEST: L.A. Hopefully this summer I can go to Australia, which will be quite far west
and south!
Miriam Schilsky: north: norway, quebec city, or st.petersburg, russia (i think it's norway) (yup.). south: puerto rico, or egypt. east: israel or moscow, russia. west: maui, hawaii (that might be south) (nope.) i'm not sure, didn't feel like consulting a map, you do that! or guess!
Stephanie Deckter: NORTH: I have been to Montreal for an Engineering Competition... it was dorky, but north. (The farthest North Stephanie has been is actually London.). SOUTH: I have been to Marco Island, a little north of the Florida Keys. WEST: I was in San Francisco, CA, for yet another Engineering event. This was the Tau Beta Pi, Engineering Honor Society National Convention. It was awesome, but I did not get to ride a trolly. :o( EAST: Mommy took Er and I to Paris & London last summer. Since you have to go right from Commack to there, I decided that it is east, even though technically it is Western Europe. Ok, thats all... I hope you realize that you will get practically the same answers from my sister. :o)
Abby Vogus: West, Indiana (actually it's Cancun.). East, Myrtle Beach SC (actually it's The Bahamas.). North, Windsor Michigan (which is really in Canada.). South, either Cancun or the Bahamas which ever is further south.
Hoter: The farthest north I've ever been would have to be somewhere in Canada. I was there with my family on vacation. A girl told me she liked my sneakers and I told her I got them at Hoterville. I gave her my phone # and directions on how to get there and she was very thankful. (That was a beautiful story, but the farthest north Hoter has been is actually Sweden. See below.).
The farthest south I have ever been would have to be St. Thomas. Also on a
family vacation. We just went in April, it was fantastic. No one asked about
my sneakers but we go to the highest point in all of St. Thomas. We traveled
that day thanks to Eve, who drove us (on the wrong side of the road) there. (Once again, dead wrong. The farthest south Hoter has raped is actually Oaxaca, Mexico.).
The farthest east I have ever been was when I went to Sweden with the Northport High School Tour Choir. WE had an outstanding time. Bets were made, love triangles sprouted, hair was dyed and many photos were taken. WE also sang in some of the most beautiful cathedrals in all of Europe. Fun was had by all. Why WE is capitalized at this paragraph I don't really know, so please just deal with it and not ask questions. (I will not stand idly by while WE is unduly capitalized! What is the reason for this wayward misuse of capitalization standards?!).
The farthest west I have ever been was on yet another family vacation to
Mexico. There was a tragedy, I spilled a bottle of oil on the floor and my grandmother yelled at me. Ever since then I am afraid to even be in the kitchen with her so I keep my distance at all times. We went snorkeling and my brother swam into some fire coral so my dad went to rescue him. In the end they both had a nasty rash from the coral. Also my cousin got swimmers ear so we had to go to the hospital and to makes matters so much more eventful there was a man in handcuffs with a police escort. Supposedly he had tried to steal a women's purse and was unsuccessful b/c the police had caught up to him. The beach was beautiful, but we were very excited to arrive back in good old NY.
Tompy: farthest north is a tie between Canada and Germany. farthest south would also be a tie between my boyfriends pants and Barbados. fartheast east would be Germany. and farthest west would be the Fabulis state of Colorado where i will be residing for most of the summer. leave it to the tompster to give you a paragraph and a little dirtiness as an answer. TOMP -- While the tompsters are away the keylime hoters will play
Amanda McCormick: Let's see...north, Montreal (Junior year, select choir, our first actual contest, and wouldn't you know it but we won! Montreal is beautiful.)
East, prolly something like Bar Harbor (that's in Maine). (Nothing special, just family livin' there.) South...San Diego, CA (You know how you can find signs like, say, deer crossing in Maine or New York? Well, on the way to San Diego, there are "Mexican Crossing" signs of sorts. Verrry interesting.)
West...prolly Sacramento, CA. (On the way to Burning Man. Ahh, sweet, sweet Burning Man.) Yup, me and my boring USA life (for the most part).
:)
Mary(beth) Pasho: My response can be considered either boring, because just two locations fit my four requirements, or very interesting, for the very same reason. I guess it depends on how easily fascinated you are. Farthest North and East: Acadia Park, Maine. Farthest South: Galveston, Texas. Farthest West: Fort Worth, Texas. Fear not, I have left the states a few times, but never going farther than Toronto, Canada (which is SOUTH of Maine)....Can someone take me across an ocean...PLEASE?!?
Disuhan: North - Maine. South - Costa Rica. East - Maine. West - I forget which one you said was farther, so either Idaho or Salt Lake City. Idaho was pretty much right along the border of MT, so that'll give you a little perspective on the situation... since YOU are FABULOUS and have an atlas, and I do not.
Lusky: I actually got out maps for this. ok well I looked it up online. same thing, except I didn't have to leave my desk chair. North: Canada. I'm not sure which is more north, Algonquin Park or Toronto. you tell me. (The only thing called Algonquin in my altas is in Illinois, so I'll just pretend she imagined Algonquin Park, Canada. But that's besides the point because Munich, Germany is farther north than both of them). East: Munich, Germany. Which is just slightly East of Liechtenstein, a country that I did not know existed until I stepped foot in it. South: San Antonio, Texas or Orlando, Florida. see notes for North, except change north to south and Algonquin Park or Toronto to Texas or Orlando. In the time it took me to type that, I probably could have found out for myself. But instead, I will leave that duty up to you. (You probably also could have found out that Hawaii is farther south than both of them. Tee hee.). West: Hawaii
Matt Groveman: I've been to: (East) Spain, (South) Guatemala, (West) Hawaii, California, Canada (ontario), Florida, Cancun, Texas. As you said, you're the one with the atlas, you do the math =) (Matt neglected to mention that he's also traveled north to Maine).
Margaret Bright-Ryan: I have been as far North as Sanford, Maine. I have been as far South as Orlando, Florida. As far east as, well, about 10 miles out into the Atlantic, and as far west as the middle of Colorado. Which is one of the more beautiful states that I have been to. Yes, I'm pretty boring. But I do know french. and how to knit. and lots of other fantastic things :)
Adam Davidowitz: Lets see here, Farthest north I believe has been Novascotia (toppling over the former northernmost point of Maine. Maine rules by the way! Right Amanda?!?!?!) Farthest south is uhhhhhh....Key West. Smashing place full of pretty sunsets, an eyeshot of Cuba and T-Shirts of Iguanas selling beer. Farthest West is Los Angeles in the loverly state of California where I was walking down Venice Beach and a bird pooped on my hat! I supposed i was lucky to be wearing a hat that day my friend but nevertheless! That's an odd word 'nevertheless'. It's three in one! What up wit dat yo?!?!?! Farthest East has been Bucharest, Romania. Land of no washing machines, $10 cheapass towels (don't lose your towel there like me on the beach) and rooms where gnats and other assorted nuisances love to hang out on the ceiling of people's rooms! (not mine but it was fun to rat-tail all of them off!) And now here I am. The centermost place of boredom. And its name is "Flushing". Land of an abandoned airport, land of the freshest air (not sayin' much) in the tri-state area, land of chinese restaurants on Main Street and land of apartment buildings with multitudes of old people. Not to mention place of recent economic revival of which they couldn't have done 20 friggin years ago!!!! But I'm not bitter. NYC BABY!!!
Jared Pellegrini: Notice that I did NOT hit Reply to All... Well, directions such as north, south, east, and west are only relative to a given point. So as not to create any confusion, I will answer this question relative to by hometown of Mt. Sinai, NY. NORTH: I have may have been skiing in Vermont on a school trip once, but I don't remember. Otherwise, The farthest north I have been would be cobleskill when I went to visit my friend Michelle who goes to school there. (Paris is farther north than both of those places.). SOUTH: Went to Disney world, and I have an aunt and uncle who live in pt. st. lucie. Dunno if that's more south or not. WEST: Pennsylvania. That is the only state i have ever been to that does not touch the atlantic ocean (and yet, Orlando is still farther west than the entire state of Pennsylvania). If i'm in the US, i'm in one time zone and one time zone only. EAST: Went to Europe my junior year of high school. Went to paris and barcelona. Sorry my answers aren't all that descriptive, but that's all i got right now. C ya. :)
Ben Ross: North: Croghan, NY (on the way to a camp that my dorm goes to every year) - we started seeing signs for Canada. (WRONG. Paris is farther north than your silly Croghan.). South: Orlando, FL (Yay Disney!) East: Um...Boston, I think. Unless you count France (Oh, but I do!), which is VERY East of the US. West: Albuquerque, NM (I've got family there!) Wow - i've lost all sense of creativity with these answers - I so don't want to do this paper - but I really have to - oh well :o)
Clarice Touwsma: ok lets think: as i warning i am geographically and idiot. the furthest North- Maine- i think (You think WRONG. Holland is farther north than Maine). the furthest South- Trinidad and Tobago. the furthest East- France or Holland, whatevers further. the furthest West- D.C
Lindsay Famula: Nyip, nyip. Here we go. Farthest north: Toronto, Canada. Farthest south: either Jamaica or Grand Cayman Islands (which one's farther south? There is not an atlas to be had). Farthest east: Ok, can we do places we are going to go to in about a month? Cause that would be Istanbul, Turkey. If not, that would probably be the beach in Suth Carolina (It has to be places you've been, sorry. But after you get back from Turkey you can email me and I'll update it. And when you go to Turkey, make sure you go to eastern Turkey so you can have travelled farther east than Miriam! Her control over the cardinal directions must be brought down!!! Okay enough insanity. Anywhere you went on Long Island when you visited us would be farther east than S.C. So we'll say the farthest east you've been is my fair town of Commack). Farthest west: San Francisco, California
Sheila Stanton: Alright so, if you take that question literally....then isn't it always wherever you are at the time you're asked? Think about it....if the world's a circle then the farthest you could travel would be right where you started from! (Had to be smart. Didn't you, Sheila?)
Kelly Stallard: North: Reykjavik, Iceland (I want you to know, andrew, that I spelled this right on the FIRST TRY! go me.) South: Orlando, Florida. East: Vienna, Austria. West: Catalina Island, California. meow.
Sara Rosehill: North: Rochester, I believe. South: St. Croix, USVI East: Point Udall, St. Croix (easternmost point in the US) West: San Fransisco.Up: Denver Down: probably Phoenix Sideways: Wonderland Inside out: Yuck. -Sara ps - Why did I end some of those lines with periods and others not? The world may never know. pps - You missed me, didn't ya?.
Brenda Welch: North: Montreal. They're so far north they speak French! West: Tuscon Arizona. South: Marathon Key. I've been to the end of 95 (it's in Miami). East: The good old Jersey Shore. Wait, I just looked it up and Amherst Massachusetts is farther east. Who knew?
Andrew Berman: North, London. South, Miami. East, Paris. West, Las Vegas.
Here are the farthest travelers:
North: Kelly, Iceland .
South: Disuhan, Costa Rica.

Miriam Schilsky: hold it, tell my friend to answer the door, and bite off a toe or two!
Alyssa Church: Run past the door on my way to the bathroom, yelling "just a minute!!!!" at whoever it is. Pee. Then see who is at the door; if I don't like them, I eat them. Problem solved.
Tompy: pee. answer the door, cuz hey it may be food or publishers clearing house or a small child selling candy for a school band trip, if not invite whoever it is in to have a bite and watch the show. HA. but if the person ringing the doorbell is hoter, pee, grap a pot to stick on your head as you go thru the kitchen, open the door slightly (so she cant push her way in to rape ya cuz lemme tell ya shell rape at any chance she gets) and with the pot on ur head say thanks but not tonite, lock and bolt the front door and any other entrances on ur way back to watching tv. hows that for a short simple answer
Racquel Reinstein: I pop my video tape into the VCR, and hit "record." I say "one minute!" to the person on the door while I fumble with putting on street clothing. (I watch TV in my nightgown) I then run to the dor and open it, tell my guest I will right back, and then run to the bathroom. There. I accomplished all the tasks.
Dana Wise: I would scream "come in" even it if happened to be the local cerial killer who is on the loose, reach my little hand under the sofa cushion where I had convienently places a sandwich for emergencies such as these and wait till the next comercial break to go pee, bravely risking kidney damage. Hey, when it comes to Will&Grace and Friends, you have to make sacrafices!
Rhosemarie Cabanban: first i would pee first before anything. have the
volume of the television really loud so u can hear it while u r in the
bathroom then go grab something to eat then open the door. is that cool or
what??? i guess u might say it happened too many times.
Doug Ethe: tell your slave to answer the door and get you food. DO the peepee dance till the next commercial OR you can get the new tv thingee which records your program while you're watching, so you can pause it and start it again when you get back. Really! Its real!! But i dont watch tv anyway
Hoter: When i have to pee and the show just came back on I turn the volume all the way up and if no one is home i'll pee with the door open. If there happens to be someone home I open the window in my den then open the shower window so the sound can get through that way. It's werid but so is this survey question, Andrew. As for the sudden craving of something to eat, I'd run grab something then run back this doesn't take to long b/c the den/kitchen are
rather close to eachother and sometimes I'm in the kitchen watching T.V. so I
really don't have to go to far. Fuck the doorbell if it's really important
they will go in the backyard and knock on the den window and I'll tell
whoever it to come in. ANyway my door is unlocked all the time so just walk
in, no one really cares and the neighbors do it all the time. When people
walk into your house it actually has a name it's called Gadding, I learned
about it in Sociology. L! ook it up. Wow this is long wasn't expecting that but
I'm bored so I really elaborated. well tata and tootle lou.
Katie Apple: Get the door and while running to the bathroom say
"make me some food, bitch!" and get back in time to catch up with the few mintues I missed. Awww yeah :)
Amanda McCormick: Someone else can answer the door. As to reeeally
having to pee, I must not have to go *that* bad, I can wait till the point of bursting...and food? I eat too much as it is. =P
Disuhan: I pop in a video tape and hit record... while yelling at the person to come in (cuz I always leave my door open), then run to the potty... food can wait... I've gone without it for a week, I'm used to being hungry. That's what I'd do. ... Yep, you really are random.... but you forgot the phone ringing... and in that case... that's what answering machines are for. :-)
Kathleen Lukachinski: hmmm......(assuming I'm in socks) Slide to the front door, Open it...bring the person into the kitchen and say, grab yourself something to eat/drink and an extra for me, and have a seat in the living room...tell them I have to pee and to shout to me for when the show comes back on. (because that is SO important)
Sara Rosehill: ok if you're really interested I'd turn the volume way
up and go pee with the door open. Hunger is for the week, and fuck whoever's at the door. Unless it's a girl scout, in which case, don't fuck them (that's
illegal). Instead, buy cookies from them, because nothing pisses girl scouts off more than when they can hear the TV but noone answers the door. And you don't want a pissed off girl scout on your front lawn, trust me.
Gina Conenello: Hold it, starve and yell for the people to come in. That was easy!
Gary Cheung: Go make a few martinis
Kim O'Brien: I say to Shane, "Muffin nose, can you get the door? i have to pee" then i would pee, sit down to watch the movie with whoever was at the door (most likely the police, noone else ever comes by. suspicious activity or whatever.) then shane would come sit down too, and i would say
"ohhhhhhhhhhhh, i'm soooooo hungry, too hungry to even stand and get food.
oh, the pain, oh, i'm too exhausted from starvation to cook" and by then
he'd be microwaving pasta for me.
Adam Davidowitz: Doorbell, pee, eat. ..
Andrew Berman: I would walk backwards to the door, keeping my eye on the television the whole time. I would let the person in but say nothing to them, devoting my full attention to the television. They would either understand, being a friend of mine and knowing that David E. Kelley dramas are the most important things in my life, or think me rude, in which case I would have to say "Whatever." Peeing and eating would have to wait until the next commercial.
Erika Deckter: RPI has the best crack because where else can you be walking home from a lab meeting and hear people discussing the thermal sensitivity of resistors and semiconductors. And, where else would the hapless passerby recognize and understand the conversation! We do calculus for fun! I mean, what kind of a place is this? And, there must be something to attract all these computer geeks here...we all know it's not the male to female ratio. And, besides, where else can lab group and meeting BOTH start with the letter W?
Katie Apple: Pure volume, my friend. They say winters here last half the year and bring unimaginable amounts of snow? Not the case. That's just the crack season. We've got so much, we just leave it laying around...
Christine O'Leary: If we had crack do you think we'd have unhappy
freshman??? or maybe we do have crack and i didn't get any!! No wonder i had such a sucky freshamn year but dont worry this year is so much better ;o)!! long live the crack providers.
Tompy: it must me good crack to get me to come all the way out here. My roomates like all the other drugs here so im sure the crack is good too : )
Gina Conenello: Bucknell has the best crack because we have the richest people here to buy the best crack, and because it is such a big industry here there was a drug bust last year!!
Sara Rosehill: Syracuse obviously has the best crack. Besides the
fact that SU has attracted the most crackfiends (and what fine crackfiends, at that), I can demonsrate the quality of our crack. First of all, it has caused me to voluntarily reside atop a mountain so great in height that we have to
follow the "higher altitude" cooking instructions on food products. Birds look up at my dorm. I often awake in the morning thinking I've gone blind only to
discover that it's just a cloud bank rolling through my bedroom. Your ears pop from the pressure change when you go down to the quad. Secondly, our fine quality drugs have inspired me to wrecklessly throw my heart off a metephorical cliff. Don't panic yet, a rogue emu may still rescue it. Film at 11.
Thirdly, I have found myself of late in the company of persons who liberally spew phrases such as "naked after nine," "Full Jihad Mode," "COLLEGE!," "Ahh Yeah Yeah," "Fucking (word) and shit," "Funk-ass bitchin'," and "Emus ate my baby." Fourthly, I'm done now. Have some crack. Goodnight.
Amanda McCormick: Oh, it's totally Syracuse that has the best crack. Okay, check this out...look out yer window in the winter, and what do you see all over the ground? Crack. See, my Ben gets shipments in all winter. You think that's snow? Nah, it's crack. It's such good crack, that he just lets it stay outside. I mean, share the wealth and all.
Gwen Rily: Siena has the best crack because Wendy makes it in her closet. She makes many different kinds, red, blue, purple. Blue crack is the best kind of crack (trust me) and only Wendy knows how to make it, she has it copyrighted. Besides, Siena has THREE Crackfiends in the area (me, Kim and Erika).
Stephanie Deckter: They hired me as an RA! :ož
Ben Ross: Cornell and Crack both begin with C. Coincidence? I think not!!! We've got 2 crackfiends here too (me and Jen). Also, for us to have such insane workloads and still be able to do stuff, that requires some DAMN good Crack! 'Nuff Said
Andrew Berman: Who has the most Crack? The answer is clear: Syracuse :)
