Honestly though, the first time I saw the state written I was sure that was how it was pronounced. Of course, they're not the only ones, and the British are the worst. I mean, Worcestershire is pronounced "Wor-ster-sheer"? WT actual F??? And don't get me started on Norwich, Leicester or Hertfordshire!

I mentioned her in a brief non sequitur post in Freak Fighter but a close look at her music is on the real necessary.

So I'm assuming I've been pronouncing these wrong all this time?

Also called "The Bible Belt" and believe me, it lives up to its name, too. And I can say that, because I've lived in Florida my whole life. Played a black metal show at a bar about 7 years ago, and 3 patrol cars were parked across the street at the gas station "just in case."

I imagine people like it for tourism, but living in the South, kind of sucks. Racism, poverty, and general bigoted ****asses run everything. Plus it's hot as ****. Central Florida gets up to 110 F sometimes in July with like 90% humidity and it still doesn't rain.

One thing that there’s no shortage of in Florida is extreme metal.

Horrible place to live though.

If you’re rich enough to enjoy Miami you should have enough sense to get the **** out of there. No matter how well your AC cools.

Probably.

Nor-ich (the "w" is silent, don't ask me why)
Lester (yeah)
and
Hart-furd-sheer.

Dem crazy Brits, huh?
Why can't they have simple place names like Ballyporeen or Termonfeckin?
