I was doing a search on the term "Pennsyltucky" just now, the former, enormously, practically Klingon--foreheaded, eyebrow-less corrections officer of the contraband-stuffed chocha reminding me of the ceramic-choppered, meth-head character from "Orange Is the New Black."
As usual, my search was an exercise in serendipity, as I discovered an article by Liz Spikol. a local writer, who, while relatively amiable, is still, nonetheless, one of "them" with a capital L, for Libtard.
In it, she writes of the two Pennsylvanias, the one described loosely as Philadelphia, its immediately surrounding counties, plus Pittsburgh, and the other, being all the relatively rural rest of it, where people kill and eat squirrels without Grey Poupon.
Liz, like many Philadelphians, just doesn't get the rest of the state. Culturally, Philadelphia and its 'burbs might as well be on another planet.
But she did have the grace and the talent to come up with this two-part gem, lifted from a historian named Nathaniel Popkin.
