What Nickname Would You Give Your State?

Arizona - At least our family trees fork.

North Dakota: why cruise control was invented.

Pennsylvania – like the teapot, we’re short and stout

New Hampshire: At least we’re not Maine.

Yes, but not because of speed traps. It’s because once you get here you either never leave, or you do leave but are bound to eventually return.

Whether this is good or bad is up for discussion.

California-The Land of the Sun and the Sea

Nuts & fruits, Gypsy Boots, the original flake.

Kansas - (just an image of the Picard Facepalm)

Missouri’s “official” designation as the Show-Me State works on a practical level. As in,

“Show Me” your diver’s license when you get pulled over on an I-70 speed trap.

“Show Me” the way out of this damned cave.

Could I show you my Muff Diver’s license?

Damned edit window.

A few years ago the Kansas Dept of Tourism came up with the slogan “Kansas - As Big As You Think” (whatever the heck that’s supposed to mean). It wasn’t long before bumper stickers started popping up with “Kansas - As Bigoted As You Think.” So, I’m gonna go with that.

And I always thought Missouri should change from the “Show Me” state to the “Blow Me” state. :smiley:

Most folks I know refer to it as the People’s Republic of Komifornia.

All of Indiana has observed DST since 2006.

How about Indiana… where South Bend is in the North, and North Vernon is in the South and French Lick isn’t nearly as fun as it sounds.

Tennessee: Hillbillies to the East, Poor White Trash to the West, Country Music in the middle!

Washington (State): Gas Taxes R Us!

Georgia (for Atlanta residents): Atlanta, in GA, but not by choice"
Georgia (rest of the state residents): “Ignorant, and proud of it”

Illinois-Chicago, corruption and corn.

Michigan-sometimes it’s not cold.

Missouri-Home of Legitimate Rape

What?
