Yeah, that was a hoot.

By the way, the word "wicked" is used differently in New England than in...pretty much everywhere else in the world.

What is a "New England" ?

It's like Old England but with less class

These are the toys Bender needs in Futurama.....

That's pretty accurate.

New England is the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusettes, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Some people try to include New York, but that would be wicked wrong.

Sadly we have no "betters" to rule over us. The best we could come up with is Trump. He tries to act like a king but it's just not the same. lol

Tidbit...

His name wasn't really "John Smith", he just didn't want his wife to know he had visited.

I realised after posting that I should have gone with "It's like Old England but there's ice in the tea". I feel like I let myself down.

And there are rocks....EVERYWHERE!!!

Is ice tea a big thing in New England?? Never been in that area.

Certainly was in our family, sweetened ice tea.

Sweet tea is a southern thing. It's quite rare in New England. Unsweetened iced tea is relatively common up there, though I don't feel it was more of a thing there than anywhere else in the US.

I was referring to Long Island Ice Tea. I think Long Island is New England but I'm not sure. I'm also not really sure that Long Island Tea actually comes from Long Island or whether it's just a name so that's two potential points of failure.

This is what I think of:

Nope, Long Island is part of New York.

But I only get the nope if my wrongness is wicked, right?

If you were wicked wrong, that would be righteous.
