Oregon Will Swallow the UK Whole

Despite Oregon having 50 million people less than the UK, Oregon is, according to the CIA World Fact Book, slightly larger than the UK. Neil, who lives in the UK, pointed this out to me, obviously doesn’t know much about Oregon’s geography (he is a Brit, after all, <joke>and nobody would ever call them educated </joke>). Like I commented on his entry, some places in Oregon are just just hard to live in — the mountain areas, some of the desert areas East of Bend, <joke>and parts of LaPine</joke>.

Update: Since out of towners weren’t really getting the jokes without the properly opening <joke> tag, I’ve gone ahead and put them in to be clear.

Paul says:

Adding some opening -tags might help some of us out. *wink*

Paul says:

*That’s <joke>-tags. My bad.

Jake says:

I never liked standards-compliant code, Paul 😉

Paul says:

I’m just saying that I don’t know where the joke began. Are there really deserts in Oregon?

Jake says:

Yes, there are deserts in Oregon — they’re high altitude deserts, but they’re certainly deserts.
I’ll update the tags according for out-of-towners.

Paul says:

Neat, I didn’t know that. Nice website, by the way; Oregon looks like a pretty beautiful place.

Paul says:

I think we’re bored, Jake.
