Forida's state flag:The blue tarp

 

[Ballazic]

oklahoma: some people say we don't suck
kansas: trees are made of wood

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Pretty good. I especially liked Minnesota's and Utah's

 

[rbis4rbb]

South Carolinas is so true

 

[Cuivienen]

Delaware: Please Call Before Visiting So We Can Make Room

Even more true of New Jersey, but true of Delaware, too. New Jersey's population density is 438.0 people per square kilometer compared to 387.4 for Rhode Island (2nd) and 312.7 for Massachusetts (3rd) with more than double the density of all of the other states except Connecticut.

Rhode Island: Not An Island, But Small Enough To Be One
New Hampshire: No Taxes, No Schools
West Virginia: Decreasing In Population Since 1950
Utah: Welcome To Deseret

 

[WillJ]

Massachusetts: Eliminating Little Kids from Spelling Bees since 1629
Washington, D.C.: If You're Not Black, You're Probably the President

I'm not sure I get Minnesota's. Is the motto just saying the state sucks, or is it deeper than that?

 

[subbss]

Vermont: Yep

Why did you pick this?
Very funny though .

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Florida: Odiar Castro (aún)

 

[Ballazic]

Is west virginia population really decreasing?

 

[Cuivienen]

Yes. In the 2000 census, it was the only state with a lower population in 2000 than in 1950.

 

[truckingpete]

North Dakota: Um... We've got... Um... Dinosaur Bones? Yeah, Dinosaur Bones!

Umm..okay...we do have a Dinosaur Museum up here. Its pretty good.

South Dakota: Closer Than North Dakota

Umm...I dont get it..

Minnesota: For Sale

Maybe North Dakota can buy it??

----------

Idiots
out
walking -OR- wandering
around



No offense

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

Very funny!

 

[Lockesdonkey]

Michigan: First Line of Defense From the Canadians

MICHIGAN: The insane Michigan Militia, gangsters from Detroit, various species of hunter, each with several kinds of gun. Plus bowlers who can lob 15-pound balls at ~20 mph.

CANADA: A large army, equipped with hockey sticks, donuts, and cans of beer.

Who wins?

GO MICHIGAN!

 

[sourboy]

As a Minnesotan, that one sucks. It has nothing to do with the state. If you want to talk concensus with Cuivienen, I think you'll find that the state's population merely migrated through (or into, and forced out of). As the saying goes, Minnesota is cold because North Dakota blows & Wisconsin sucks (just check the jet-stream ).

Better mottos:

How 'bout some hockey, eh?

Minne-Canada.

The only thing Northwest of Chicago.

We'll elect anybody who's not Republican.

STATE MOTTOES

Maine: Cheap Lobster

Very True

 

[North King]

Michigan's is incorrect. It should be something more along the lines of:

"If you seek swamp, forest, and decrepit cities, look about you."

I love Michigan - my Dad has friends there who have a great house smack int he middle of their 400 acres of forest, with their own river for rafting

 

[IglooDame]

New Hampshire: Live Free, Die, or Move Back To Massachusetts

 

[Warman17]

New York: Eh, I'm walking here!
