I'm from south western PA. I remember cleaning my dorm room with my roomate for the first time after basic. Looked at him and asked him "where are the sweepers?" With a look of confusion the NorCal boy looked at me and said "a broom?"

"No! A vacume cleaner, ya boob!"

I'd kill for a couple of those gobs with the little sailor on the package that are made in Johnstown. My mom used to mail them to me when i was overseas.

First time deer hunting in New Mexico i walk up on probably the only other guy in the state hunting with a flintlock. Was close to Los Alamos and started talking to him. Soon as he finished his sentance I said "What part of PA are you from?"

"How'd you guess?"

"Well first it was you carrying a flintlock, second you just said 'I was huntin over air'"

Looking forward to my first visit in 2 years in april for a friends wedding.

BTW.... those guys from Holsloppe, I went to highschool with Jeff Hostetlers niece & nephew.
