> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Slipknot? The band? From Iowa? Yep.. Its really quite funny, since you have all these conservative farmer types that want to be proud of them, being Iowans and all, but.. well.. they’re _Slipknot_. 😃 Edit: What about the territories? Guam, Puerto rico, US Virgin Islands, etc? Everyone always forgets about those guys. ---

You might enjoy… [I Awoke in Iowa](http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2792399) (video) a song about the mind-numbing boredom that is Iowa. That was followed by… [The Iowa Apology Song](http://www.yellowtailrecords.com/ub/apology.htm#iowaapology) (lyrics only) about the many scenic wonders of Iowa and cultural contributions of Iowans, done in a style that required another apology. ---

I have never been there, and IIRC, I have never met anyone who has claimed to be from North Dakota. FTR, I could say the same thing about South Dakota, too. :dubious: ---

I am not sure what the USVA is. I assume it is the United States of Virginia but that doesn’t make any sense because Virginia and West Virginia don’t generally get along. The next closest thing is the U.S. Virgin Islands and that is abbreviated as the USVI. Maybe that is what you meant. I go there often but I don’t live there. Super bonus points for anyone from the Marshall Islands. ---
