And people wonder why some of us old time Vermonters hate them flatlanders...
ReplyDeleteExactly, all "flatlanders" are criminals. Let's have ALL cars with out-of-state plates pulled over and searched by law enforcement. Heck, the fact that they don't have Vermont plates is probable cause!
ReplyDeleteThat should happen. How many times have you or anyone gone down Clinton Street toward the interstate and seen out of state (NH included) cars going WAY over the speed limit? I got off 91 a few days ago and was doing around 50 and a car from Mass passed me going at LEAST 70. It doesnt matter the cops are out investigating the recent break ins right? baaaaa haaaa yeah right. I really dispise paying taxes.
ReplyDeleteWow! And I thought racism was bad in the south!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed the lack of stories on this blog? We used to hear all kinds of stores about the town or whatnot and now it is like a concerted effort to not allow anything that will evoke comments on here. Just sayin!
ReplyDeleteDude, I keep trying to write funny stuff and the computor deletes my typing when I hit enter
ReplyDeleteMarijuana is leagal in MA. And cocaine is imported in D.C.
STOP THE FLATLANDER ABUSE your momma's from the south.
Wow! Everytime I drive up Clinton St from the highway to Springfield it's VT plates that tailgate me and speed past, so watch what your saying about plates from out of state...
ReplyDeleteThen dont come north ,its a s simple as that flatty
ReplyDelete"Then dont come north ,its a s simple as that flatty"
ReplyDeleteReally??? Fisrt off get your grammer correct before typing, secondly, I was born and raised in Springfield, my mother lives there, I spend over $200 a year in hunting permits in VT a year, attitude like that is why nobody wants to come into the state and spend money to help your economy, and also why there's no economy in VT and forces people to move south to get a better life because VT doesn't want economic growth.
Thanks.
Everybody in vermont sucks cock
