A project (joke) started by a group of paranoid right-wing nutjobs in 2001 with the goal of moving 20,000 Ron Paul ass-kissers/people who masturbate to "Atlas Shurgged" to New Hampshire in hopes of influencing the New Hampshire primary and local state politics. As of August 2009, only 750 members have moved to the Granite State, meaning the FSP has accomplished less than 4% of their initial goal.
Their organization is utterly ridiculous and their members usually rely on pathetic stunts and continuous whining to get what they want, which includes the privatization of otherwise public goods and services. The final goal of the project is to have New Hampshire secede from the rest of the USA, an action which was tried by the Confederate States for similar reasons and failed miserably.

The other day I saw some members of the Free State Project protesting public education down in Concord, and the day before that I saw a bunch of them protesting universal health care in Portsmouth. I take it public services take away our liberty.

Get the Free State Project mug.To those of us from New England, "The Valley" most often refers to the Merrimack Valley, a bi-state area along the Merrimack River. Most of the Valley is suburban. The largest cities are Haverhill, MA, Lawrence, MA, Lowell, MA, Nashua, NH, Manchester, NH, and Concord, NH. All of these cities are former mill towns powered by the river.
If you live in the Merrimack Valley region, chances are you tell everyone you're from the "Boston Area", have a Boston accent, and cheer for all the Boston sports teams, even though Boston is an hour away. About half the people in your high school graduating class went to drug rehab before the age of 18. Unless your zip code is 01810, 05501, 01899, 01921, 01985, 01886, 03110, 03031, 03049, or 03087, you are working class/poor. Chances are, if you are from the working-class areas you pretend to be rich, while if you are from the rich areas you pretend to be "ghetto". Ethnic pride is high in The Valley. You will see more Irish, Italian, Canadian, Lebanese, Cambodian, Brazilian, Puerto Rican, and Dominican flags than American ones, though almost every other street is named for a KIA war soldier.
All in all, The Valley is a place of contradictions, not to mention a shitty place to live and an even shittier place to say you're from.

Situation #1:
Angie: I'm from the Boston Area.
Milly: Wonderful! Where in Boston?
Angie: Methuen.
Milly: Hmmmm that's funny. I live in Boston and have never heard of any place in the city called Methuen.
Angie: Ughh, actually, it's in The Valley. And it's not Andover, Boxford, or Windham.
Milly: Ew! Do you live in a slum? Are your kids potheads? Do you shop at Marshall's? DO YOU SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH?!
Angie: What?
Situation #2:
Ryan: Yo, yo, I rep The Valley.
Santos: Sweet man. What part?
Ryan: Amherst.
Santos: Shit man, you ain't ghetto! You probably live in a colonial mansion. Try living in Nashua with a drug bust or gang fight outside your house every ten minutes.
Ryan: No way homie. Am-town has way more oxy and e than Trashua, cause we have the bank to buy all our shit off you!
The Valley: the trashiest place in America's northeast.

Get the The Valley mug.Rich southern New Hampshire town located in the boonies. It borders Nashua, Amherst, and Milford. Young residents have way too much time and money on their hands, which usually results in wandering into Trashua for cheap drugs.

Get the Hollis mug.A large ghetto located in southern New Hampshire. Used to be a pretty kickass center of commerce (e.i. the cotton mill industries) about 150 years ago. That all changed after World War I. One of the few places in the world where white-trash community college dropouts and low-life Latino "gangstas" can coexist in peace.
Modern Nashua is a sad example of its former self.
Jim bought cheap LSD off a Brazilian guy who lives in Nashua.
I went to eat at the Dunkin Donuts in Nashua and the only person working there who spoke English was the 40-year old welfare mom at the register.
To think Nashua used to be Shanghai, now it's a dumping ground for society's rejects.

Get the Nashua mug.Rich-ass town located in southern New Hampshire, making up the top left part of the Windham-Pelham-Salem-Atkinson rhombus. Once considered a vacation spot in the area located near Cobbett's Pond (with the rest of the town being agrarian) Windham somehow morphed into an elitist breeding ground in less than a generation. It is now known for its large amounts of yuppies, soccer moms, and Paultards as well as their overly spoiled kids who are frequently seen driving expensive cars down I-93. Aside from the glamour, Windham has a reputation for being quite boring, lacking any commercial area or downtown.
A side note: people from Windham pronounce the name of their town as WIND-ham, not WIN-dum. The 'h' is not silent.

Carlie must live in Windham - she got a Ferrari for her sweet 16 birthday.
The Sampson family moved to Windham from Newton Mass so they could still enjoy a lavish lifestyle without paying Massachusetts income taxes which, as Ron Paul supporters, they were morally opposed to.
Windham residents love their money but sure hate having to spend it to contribute to society. That's why they blow most of it on huge houses with big front lawns the size of football fields, 23432 cars, cruises, vacations, expensive electronics, drugs, and designer clothes for their kids.

Get the Windham mug.The largest "city" in New Hampshire. Manchester has an excess of pubs, Catholic churches (due to large French Canadian, Irish, Italian, and Lebanese ancestry), obsolete old mills, and drugs. Much like nearby Nashua, Manchester was a prominent commercial center back in the day which has now become a ghetto. French is the town's unofficial-official language due to illegal immigration from Quebec. Girls are ultra-trashy and most young men are known to have four kids with three different women. About one fourth of the Central graduating class goes to Manchester CC with another fourth going to Hesser and another going to the UNH Manchester campus. Cheap drugs such as ecstasy and meth are easily available on Hayward Street.
Despite all of this, Manchester becomes the center of the world's attention during the New Hampshire primaries. It isn't unusual to be harassed by campaigners whilst walking down the sidewalk.

Get the Manchester, New Hampshire mug.A suburb in southern New Hampshire on the Massachusetts border. Makes up the bottom left part of the Windham-Pelham-Salem-Atkinson rhombus. While Pelham is quite nice, as is its neighbor Windham, it is surrounded by ghettos such as Lowell, Massachusetts and Nashua. Drugs frequently enter the town from such areas and infest the Pelham youth, but it's no wonder considering how boring the town really is.
Pelham NH would be a great place to grow up if it had more stuff to do and if Gov. Lynch built a wall separating it from Nashua, Methuen, and Lowell.
