Yeah, seriously, if I'm in a rotten mood all bets are off towards the rude.

The whole city/suburban thing is foreign to me. I grew up right outside a town of about 25,000: the whole town is kind of like a suburb, with a center. I went to a rural HS, so there was the whole "city folk" vs "country folk" but not in a serious way. It's not like we were ALL slopping the hogs and driving tractors. However, the Future Farmers of America had a tractor day where they drove their tractors to school. We told our "city" boys to drive by on that day because we really DID drive tractors to school every day. That, and our farmer boys could have kicked the shit out of the townies any day of the week, what with all that hay-baling and hard work!

Living right outside of town I had the best of both worlds, and friends on each "side."

eta: @ Dana...my previous user title was "Ambling along, what's that like?" and I was referring to students in the hallway too! Then again, I'm not sure I've ever ambled in my life.
