I want my state to change its name to "Maxisota."

[LaraMN]

or "Megasota."

That's going to be the platform I will run on when I attempt to be elected Governor.
I have my finger on the pulse of my state; I think it'll work.

[UrbScotty]

1. You have Pawlenty of good ideas!

:evilgrin:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I like "Megasota."

"Maxisota" sounds like either a very large soft drink or a feminine hygiene product. "Humongasota" might work, too.

If you are elected you have to promise to dump the weenie name "Minnesota."

[LaraMN]

3. I will also ban mullets.

It might hurt me in the rural areas, but I feel I will sweep the metropolitan area with this incentive.

[no name no slogan]

7. Oh no you WON'T

Don't you DARE. All this work I've done over the last four months would be for nothing

[LaraMN]

8. Noooo!

Tell me you're not growing a duck-tail braid, too!

[KamaAina]

9. See, if you ban the mullets,

it becomes "Microsota". :P

[AlCzervik]

4. second the Megasota. Maxisota---now with wings! do not like.

[Guava Jelly]

5. How about South Canada

:silly:

[LaraMN]

6. No way. We don't need the accent spreading any further, eh.

:P

[Crabby Appleton]

10. Baja Canada nt

[billyskank]

11. At least you don't live in Piddlington.

A place so pants even Google Maps doesn't know it!

[hfojvt]

12. Why? Is that a comment on the hugh egos of its residents?

Anyway, it's not currently Mini-sota, it's Min-UH-so-tah, and I do not think that platform will be successful. Seemed to me that the majority of Minnesotans were already convinced that EVERYTHING about their state was already perfect, so you'd just be suggesting heresy.
