BEST I live in NoVA EVER

A huge shout out to Kate for sending me this link. It's about how NoVA (northern Virginia) differs from RoVA (the rest of Virginia). Obviously, even though my car plates say "Virginia", I still consider myself to be from the DC Metro area rather than the state of Virginia.

Here are the major differences between RoVA and NoVA:

· In RoVa, they hope the South will rise again. In NoVa, they hope the souffle will.
· In NoVa, a lab is the family dog. In RoVa, a lab is the family meth business.
· In NoVa, people spend their dough at Starbucks, shooting the breeze. In RoVa, people spend time in the breeze, shooting does and bucks.
· In NoVa, a "fur piece" is something a woman wears on a special occasion. In RoVa, a "fur piece" is unit of distance.
· In RoVa, people pick blackberries. In NoVa, people click BlackBerrys.
· In NoVa, they listen to NPR. In RoVa, they listen to the NRA.
· NoVa has Crate & Barrel. RoVa has Cracker Barrel.
· NoVa: Chain Bridge. RoVa: Chain saw.
· In RoVa, they like freshly killed venison. In NoVa, they like Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

    As a RoVA living in NoVA, I totally get this.

    Grew up in NoVa. Went to college in RoVa. As a grad working for a living... started working in NoVa (cause that's where the jobs in VA are) but then decided to find something in DC. Now I live and work in DC. Glad to be a bystander of this feud.
