1. New Hampshire:

The world's third largest legislative body and the world's most useless.

[all american girl]

2. As my husband likes to say

Idiots
Out
Walking
Around

I was born and raised in Iowa....my husband went to college there. I like to remind him that I had no choice, but he did

[TNNurse]

3. Wow

Something to offend everyone, great effort.

[femmocrat]

4. PA:

"Our Amish can beat up Ohio's Amish."

[Brigid]

5. Yeah, I pick that one as my favorite.

[LiberalEsto]

12. Should be: Our most important holiday is Buck Day nt

[olddots]

6. Southern California =a waste of good weather

Fuck it its the valley

[ailsagirl]

7. Archie Bunker always referred to California as...

"the land of fruit and nuts."

That was HIS take, anyway

[Sweet Freedom]

8. Texas

"Heaven if you're a high school quarterback, hell if you are gay, black, an immigrant or a woman."

[Arugula Latte]

9. Funny! I didn't get the one about my state, Oregon, until I googled

Oregon and dysentery ... Apparently it refers to the Oregon Trail, where that was a common death. I would have had the sentence be:

"Come for the endless soul-crushing gray skies; stay for the assisted suicide."

But in reality I do love Oregon.

[dilby]

15. It's from the computer game Oregon Trail.

Was a popular game played in Elementary schools in the early 80's. One of the common ways you died in the game was dysentery.

[WinkyDink]

10. I'm from PA, but I like Jersey's!

[Archae]

11. Wisconsin!

"Too cold to be sober."

[Blue_In_AK]

13. And I really wish people would remember

that Tina Fey said that, not Sarah. Sarah has said a lot of stupid things, but this wasn't one of them.

[Orangepeel]

14. Tina Fey said she could see Russia from her house

Palin did say you could see Russia from Alaska, which is apparently true (although not particularly relevant to foreign policy).

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/09/can_you_really_see_russia_from_alaska.html

[Blue_In_AK]

16. Exactly.

You're right, it isn't pertinent to foreign policy, but at least it's a fact that you can see Russian Big Diomede Island from Alaskan Little Diomede Island, and you can see Siberia from St. Lawrence Island if you're up high enough.

17. Washington

Where more things are legal and everything is damp. Obviously referring to the legalization of weed. But, I'll have you know, we get less average rain-fall than Hawaii, Connecticut, Florida, just to name a few. The difference is, we get a little bit every day for days and days, month after month while other states get deluged a few times a year!

I'm reminded of columnist Emmett Watson who urged WA residents to describe rain in great detail to anyone who might be thinking of moving here. "Lesser Seattle was a fictional Seattle, Washington anti-growth and anti-urbanization organization popularized by longtime Seattle native and newspaper columnist Emmett Watson. It was a response to the pro-growth booster group Greater Seattle Inc., which had been founded in the 1950s." See also Keep the Bastards Out and Californication. (Wikipedia)

18. Texas

You WISH we'd secede!

[Arcadiasix]

19. I livein Houston and I have neighbor who has that bumpersticker on his truck

[DFW]

20. I should have figured someone would really do that

In Dallas, we haven't gotten that far--yet.

[Arcadiasix]

21. He isn't the only one here

[orleans]
