14. I Live in Mississippi
The slogan is perfect.

Caveat for those who think I'm an idiot: I'm 60 miles from the French Quarter and real estate is a steal in this lil ole red state.

24. You missed his candid campaign crotch shot?
He had a Goodyear blimp in his pants. I have only recently recovered from attempting to poke my eyes out with a sharp stick.

9. Alabummer Now Has Electricity
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 05:28 PM by Anakin Skywalker
but they still can't use it to power their TVs, computers and lights for "immoral" purposes. One of their politicians (I am sure he is not alone, given the mindset of many down there) wants all public libraries to be purged of books about homosexuality. There was a thread here yesterday about this, but I didn't bookmark it.

19. Oh, for Pete's sake. For openers...
Hawaii: Haka Tiki Mou Sha'ami Leeki Toru (Death To Mainland Scum, But Leave Your Money)

The leters T, S and R are not used in modern Hawaiian. Also, two similar vowels (the 'ee' in "leeki") are always separated by the 'okina (as are the two 'a''s in "sha'ami"). 'A'ole maika'i!

Kansas: First Of The Rectangle States

Bzzzzzzzzzt! The Missouri River cuts a little triangle out of the upper right corner.

Vermont: Yep

Usually pronounced "A-yup".

:-)

25. Hey - we're known for doing amazing things with corn
Some of them even x-rated. LOL!!

I didn't see many sheep when we drove through Wyoming. At a diner in Laramie I was asked, "Want to know why there are so many Adult Mega Stores in Wyoming?" Everytime the waiter would pass our table, he'd give us another reason. My favorite was, "You know, the antelope can only take so much!"

LMAO!!
