Speaking of stupid ass stuff. Has anyone seen the Corn Palace in SD. That is _strange_. And not in a good way. Does anyone really need all the postcards of every cornpalace ever built? And flypsdale, I still think CA has you beat, I mean did people ever line up to stick their hands in those cows? I think not. Not to mention all the other assorted hick weirdness we have. At least we don’t have an incest belt like Wisconsin. ---

Oh yeah… Oklahoma has it’s own Cow made out of butter. I’ve seen it a few times at the Tulsa State Fair. ---

Hey, the Corn Palace is cool. It is a monument to a people who have very little to do and lots of time to do it in. Who knows what sort of evil they would get up to if they were not decorating the Corn Palace? ---

I’d much rather they build palaces then go around sacrificing parents to some demon god. IMHO ---

Flyp, be glad your claim to fame is a butter cow. Maryland’s for crabs… when I was in high school, I went to a national conference, and each state had a delegation. At dinner one night, the delegations took turns singing “Texas, Texas, we’ve got stars” or “Jersey, Jersey, we’ve got radioactivity”. Comes to Maryland’s turn… and without thinking ahead, we shout, “Maryland, Maryland, we’ve got crabs!” The singing came to an end for the evening. We never hooked up that week, either. ---
