Great stuff.... I'm originally from Mass myself (first "mill-un", then "hing-um")--and still work there--so can relate to just about everything on the list (I guess I'm just a m***h*** in disguise, heh).
Funny, never went to Cheers either until some cousins of mine from Ohio insisted on going, then wondered what the hell we went there for (the place s**ks, IMO).
BTW, Steve91, I like that avatar.
