--- Quote from: Halloween Jack on 11 Feb 2013, 18:28 ---I would dearly love to see a cameo from Henry Rollins, either present day or flashback.

Ditto on this, though I doubt Jeph would do it.

--- Quote from: calmcalamity on 11 Feb 2013, 18:32 ---I'll never use the phrase "going/headin' back East." I was born in Hawaii, raised and still live in Oregon. Why would anyone born and raised west of the Mississippi say they were "going back?"
--- End quote ---
Maybe because in the not-so-distant past, most people in the west came from somewhere in the east? Migration east to west in the 20th century was intense, and it's possible a habit of speech endured.
Carl-E:
This is the first place I've ever been where people talk about going "in town". Not down town, not in to town, just "intown", like it's oneword. There's even a mural on one of the larger buildings with "InTown" across the bottom.
I've haerd "going down shore" all my life, though I don't use it myself. But at least it sort of makes sense - unless you're in Death Valley, the shore is lower than where you are.
Method of Madness:
I wasn't objecting about down, I was objecting to the lack of the word "to". They say "I'm going down the shore", rather than "down to the shore" and it just sounds wrong.
Kugai:
Not to mention the SWAT Team that turned up after the Speeches.
