This is riduculous.

There's a bright yellow stain, right in the middle of Idaho, where people say "Soda" with absolutely no regard to all those Data Vacuum Fields and avid Poppers and another blazing spot in Kansas. And why is there no consideration for the Missouri-Illinois border on behalf of all them Soda drinkers and what, in the name of all that is good, do all these Other Drinks Drinkers drink in the prairies of North Carolina?

Seriously, all this wild procrastination in shared internet space has got to stop. Lives, Ygg, are at stake. Entire academic degrees. The children, think of the children!

And anyway, this isn't procrastination. This was part of legitimate research for a story I'm writing.
