Welcome!

Alaska is orchestrating a hostile takeover; I am being ordered out of my body to make way for an Alaskan.. I don't have much time... too late!

Hey there! I'm a newbie! I'm from Alaska! Everybody welcome me and love me!

skye - do you think they have slightly misinterpreted the term "Northern"...? ;) Our poor, lost souls, who left our beloved nation to go to some strange lands on a continent where everyone drinks coffee and drives on the wrong side of the road...

Hello and welcome to all the recent arrivals from the land of the midnight sun.

I must say, however, that I'm surprised to learn that Seattle (the Emerald City) is now part of Alaska

The net has now become a domain of the Alaskans. Watch out or we'll send our cow-sized mosquitoes after you.

Wow, now that sounds like some excellent target practice =) Somehow, though, I feel that a neither a BB gun or pinged elastic bands are going to be of any use in this case - might have to get out the heavy artillery at last ;)

The mosquitoes in Alaska are unlike any others.
The tiny ones fly right through the screen in the door.
And the big ones just open the front door.

Another Alaskan! Good lord!

And in Florida, roaches don't run under the refigerator when you turn on the lights, they pick up the refrigerator and leave through the door.

What being Northern means to me:

dirt. big black clouds. sheep. people who spend too much time with sheep. bitterness. farmers who avoid dentists. emmerdale farm. shepherds bloody damn pie. jokes about Lancashire. shooting stuff.

As you can see, I love living in the North

sky (without an e on the end )

p.s. nobody from Alaska should get offended... this is singularly Yorkshire humour. (am I being funny... I'm not quite sure)

skylar - you missed off ducking from bazooka shells from worms who missed... ; ) And I know how you spell your name, I added that 'e' deliberately, but that is another story.

Unless you're geographically challenged I think you'll agree that only one couple and a band of Disney style elves lives north of Canada
As for living north of part of Canada, there are millions at such latitudes including (I presume) you, given that much of metro Detroit is north of Windsor.

I think I over-dramatised the point somewhat. Nevertheless, something that I find appealing about people is nice names, and Skye was a particular fantasy name I chose. I think I got the idea from reading of someone with that name, although it is conceivable that I was just thinking of the Isle of Skye, though. The last name choice was Ilhá (short for Ilhánágio G'wrgagleθe (pron. Ilhyarnohhigh Goorhathlether, or something like that (impossible to spell phonetically in English) (for the Xirnannially challenged))).
