cant afford to live in either of those places...maybe one day i will though.
but i will tell you this:
i live in a corrupt town, thats for sure....but the corrupt people are usually among the most unintelligent right next to the super religious freaks....therefore they are incredibily easy to manipulate...and since i have TONS of dirt on the sherrif i dont really have anything to worry about. He knows i know ALOT...so if i need something i CAN get it....

The most famous quote about Mt Somers is, "where the heck is that?"
We are not too far from somewhere fairly well-known, Erewhon Station (In NZ a Station = a Large Sheep Ranch ) It is, of course, there or very near there that Samuel Butler wrote about in Erewhon.
New Zealand as a whole garners losts of quotes:
"A country of inveterate, backwoods, thick-headed, egotistic philistines" ....... Vladimir Ilyich Lenin 1909
"If it would not look too much like showing off, I would tell the reader where New Zealand is." ....... Mark Twain 1897
"The first european to find NZ was a Dutch sea-captain who was looking for something else ... It takes its name from a province of Holland to which it does not bear the remotest likeness, and is usually regarded as the antipodes of England, but is not. Taken possession of by an English navigator, whose action was afterwards reversed by his country's rulers, it was only annexed by the English Government which did not want it, to keep it from the French who did."....... William Pember Reeves 1898
"Terrible tragedy of the south seas. Three million people trapped alive." ....... Thomas Jefferson Scott
When asked his opinion of New Zealand: "I find it hard to say, because when I was there it seemed to be shut." ....... Sir Clement Freud 1978
"New Zealand was colonised initially by those Australians who had the initiative to escape." ....... Robert Muldoon 1981 (Former NZ Prime Minister)
"The United States invented the space shuttle, the atomic bomb and Disneyland. We have 35 times more land than New Zealand, 80 times the population, 144 times the gross national product and 220 times as many people in jail.
Many of our big cities have more kilometres of freeway than all of New Zealand, our 10 biggest metropolises each have more people than all of New Zealand, and metropolitan Detroit has more cars on the road than all of New Zealand.
So how come a superpower of 270 million got routed in the America's Cup, the world's most technically oriented yacht race, by a country of 3.5 million that outproduces us only in sheep manure?" ....... Eric Sharp 1995
I've never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena, the warrior princess, comes from there. Madeleine Albright
If the people of New Zealand want to be part of our world, I believe they should hop off their islands, and push 'em closer. Lewis Black
I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be? Orlando Bloom
New Zealand is not a small country but a large village. Peter Jackson
New Zealand was not a defined nation until then - it was sort of an extension of an English garden. After Gallipoli, they became their own people with not so great a liking for the British. Leon Uris (He is quite right, for NZ and Australia Gallipoli was the defining moment, more than any other event, Gallipoli and the british mis-management of Australian and NZ soldiers marks our emergence into the world, kind of like a forceps-assisted delivery but on a national scale.)
There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist in the states. It's actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. There is a sense of isolation and also being protected. Elijah Wood
That was the big effect Lord of the Rings had on me. It was discovering New Zealand. And even more precious were the people- not at all like the Australians.
Ian Mckellen

Out on the edge of an empty highway, howling at the blood on the moon,
Big diesel Mack truck rolling down my way, can't hit that border too soon.
Running hard out of Muskrat Flats, it was sixty days or double life,
Hail on my back like a shotgun blast, high wind chimes in the night.
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga, oh, oh bitter olives in the sun,
Oh, oh I had me some lovin', and I done some time.
Since I came down from Oregon, there's a lesson or two I've learned
By standing in the road alone, standing watching the fires burn.
The northern sky it stinks with greed, you can smell it for miles around,
Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel, sitting doing that git on down.
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga, of, of silver apples in the sun,
I see your silver shining town, but I know I can't go there --
Your streets run deep with poisoned wine, your doorways crawl with fear.
So I think I'll drift for ol' where it's at, where the weed grows green and fine
And wrap myself around a bush of that bright, whoa, on Oaxaca vine.
Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga, I can see golden forests in the sun.
-Pride of Cucamonga by The Grateful Dead
Train now leaving on track five for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cuc... amonga
-Jack Benny program
Krusty: OK, memorize these funny place names: Walla Walla. Keokuk.
Cucamonga. Seattle --
Homer: [laughs] Stop it, you're killing me! [laughs more] Seattle.
Krusty: [groans]

I come from a small town in Maine with no famous quotes as far as we know.
But...
Patrick Dempsey grew up there, and it recently made world news concerning a "mystery beast" that was found hit by a car not a mile from where I lived.
P.S. It turned out to be a wild dog.

Hehehe...from the comedy club scene in "Little Bosnia", a documentary about life in Vienna, Austria:
"I'm convinced it's impossible to be truly happy with a Yugoslav woman. No, I'm serious, hear me out. The Slovenian girls, while lovely, are absolutely terrified of sex. *Laughter* Terrified, completely mad.
But how could they not be, that close to the Croatians. *Wink wink, obscene gesture* Man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man... Lijepa nasa is right, my friends. [Lijepa nasa, our beauty, is the name of the Croatian national anthem] I'm telling you, I've dated dozens of Croatian girls, slept with most of them, and haven't seen a pair of panties yet.
And then you've got the Serbs. *Frowning face* Those bad, evil Serb girls. No, no, calm down, I'm kidding. It's hard to go on a date, though, when your woman is on the other side of plexiglass in a Dutch prison. Okay, I'm sorry, really I'm sorry. I was joking, won't happen again...bad girl... oooh, bad girl... *Spanking gesture*
So... *Laugher* how about those Bosnian chicks, man? HOW ABOUT THOSE BOSNIAN CHICKS? Don't you just love those girls? The ones back in Sarajevo are even better, believe. For I have seen the promised land. There's one thing that just... gets to me, though. You can be at a club, and in the corner of your eye you spot the herd *Laughter* You know, the herd - they travel in groups, those Bosnian girls. You see when you like, and then you have to spend two hours trying to separate her from this herd... *Laughter* Oh, you all know what I'm talking about! So you finally get the chick alone, and she's standing there in her skimpy little dress, sipping on a vodka rocks, turns to and says... *Whiney voice* No thanks, I'm Muslim. *Laughter* It's enough to make a man want to slap a b***h.
