Midwest Rejects Stupid Family

[Kevin 3]

Tired of the humdrum fear-filled life of the big cities ? Well , don't move to the mid-West , unless you are prepared for a bit of suspicion/ shyness and are unable to make an effort to fit into your small town surroundings .

Here's a stupid couple from Miami that thought the entire country was much like them. Despite being offered nearly 19th century land deals to make a new life , this couple came prepared with a lawsuit mentality and a feeling that their values were shared by all the rest of their fellow countrymen; making little to no effort to fit in - but simply to cash in . Congradulations . Is the pioneer spirit really so dead now ? :

Just where in-the-hell did they think they were moving to ?!

Wowwwwww. Is it the slowest news day in the history of humanity or something? Haha, it almost sounds like it's from the onion...

Without a doubt . February is a slow news month usually .

Is it leap year?

I'm not sure why I ask that because the average individual doesn't even know what leap (intercalary) year is much less where it originated from.

February 2010, in my area, has seen the most snowfall in decades! And it's not even leap year!

It'd be easier, Edna, for you to Google than me trying to explain it!

You take a lot for granted , Muzik . Have you been doing surveys , or even speaking to anyone outside of your house for that matter ?

Careful not to slip out of your ivory tower as I hear it's been pretty snowy and icy .

Lemme tell you something, Sir Kevin...I take NOTHING for granted!

[Kevin 3]

Every school child knows what leap year is . Your comment is perplexing . That's all . I think your off-handed generalizing in this case was ridiculously off-base .

Oh, you mean a bissextile year... so you call it "leap" in English?

"bISSEXTILE?" tHAT SOUNDS SO........INDUSTRIAL.

Retro, with a semi Greek-revival flair!

bissextile...

Hmmm. I'm not sure whether I should reach for my volume on entomology, erotica or urinary receptacle materials. (or simply unplug my computer) The latter sounds most fitting. (lol)
