Arizona is a terrible place, do not think about living here. (Phoenix: vs., moving to)

Chemtrails! AZ has chemtrails!

Stay far, far away.

^^^ Yes Chem trails - and for some reason they ALL point to Los Angeles. I think those people are planning a mass infiltration after they have rendered us incoherent. I'll be OK though I taped aluminium foil to all my windows.

Also, a BIG thank you to our new member "Chadocat" for reminding us about the bugs.

We forgot the AUNTS. If things aren't bad enough here in Arizona, we have AUNTS!

They come for visits, and crawl around the house, and then want to stay. They pinch your cheek and tell you how much you've grown. Fer crying out loud auntie I'm 60 years old! The only direction I grow is, out!

Yeah, I remember the AUNTS too when I was a little kid. They'd come up to me with their bright pink lipstick and skin tags on their chin "C'mon sweetie come give me some sugar.". Most, if not all, of them are dead now.

I just realized yet another reason Arizona is a terrible place.

We are not allowed to own nunchucks.

We can own and carry pistols, rifles, shotguns, knives, switchblades, full auto machine guns, silencers, guns with knives attached, knives with guns attached, throwing stars, billy clubs, brass knuckles, we have a working cannon at our gun club, heck someone probably has a tank in their garage.

But apparently we are not to be trusted with two sticks tied together?

^^^ jamies, I like you man, but seriously, that was a bit lame, lol.

So, here is another example of how corrupt politicians in Arizona are and why it is a terrible place:

AZ State Legislator Indicted for fraud

Interestingly enough, that thread quickly went south. Very few wanted to talk about the actual subject, most just wanted to talk about the one who started the thread, so closed soon it was. Read it and see for yourself.

I would like to thank everyone who participated in this thread, and especially those who 'got it'. You know who you are.

Tomorrow, I am taking it upon myself to leave on a road trip to go and visit this terrible place Arizona for a couple weeks or so. I feel the need to see for myself all the corrupt politicians, all the welfare recipients, the dark money handlers, the awful landscape(s), the blatant racism, the LDS 'rule' of the state, all the unhappy teachers (maybe before or while they are fleeing), the intolerance, all the depressed people, etc., and last but not least: All the folks carrying guns. Oh my.

I am sure it will be an arduous task, but I take it on so that I can come back and report as the man on the ground for the rest of you.

First off is the obvious. Arizona is nothing but a dry super hot forbidding desert. The temperature usually runs over 100 degrees and there is no rainfall. In the small parts of Arizona that are cooler, the temperatures will run about 10 degrees below zero and you will have 10 feet of snow.

With the caveat that I do not live in Arizona, I will just say that some of us find the desert to be achingly beautiful and anything but forbidding.

Don't forget to watch out for the chemtrails. If you see one, immediately deploy your tinfoil hat. Be very wary of the Africanized flying killer Scorpiobees.

Oh, yeah, and from some prior threads I seem to recall you also need to watch out for all the people who park on the sidewalks!

Yeah, see - you just visit and enjoy it, kind of like when we go to the beach. But WE have to LIVE here in Arizona. If you will just learn from our mistakes you will never have to live through the horrible sights of sunrise over the Grand Canyon or exploring Oak Creek or god forbid, a nice dinner in Flagstaff!

And as for you, you will be happy to note I just fired off an email to my HOA about this very thing. We have those cute rounded curbs that they put in upscale communities, and for some reason people think that means they have to park halfway up the sidewalk.

We have SERIOUS issues to deal with here in paradise, er, I mean here in H#ll.
