OR

Nevada-Slots looser than a skank ho'

A lot of my friends call Connecticut the "wannabe New York." I don't necessarily think that's true, but a lot of people here do, especially because we call ourselves "tri-state" more often than New England.

Collin

So true about CT... we really are wanna-be New Yorkers :D

Zntke...

Georgia:
We Put the "Fun" in Fundamentalist Extremism

(The real motto is Truth, Justice and Moderation.)


Truth, Justice and Moderation... Of What??

See, I don't necessarily agree with that. When you get by the shore and into towns like Stamford and Old Saybrook, then yeah, it fits. But I'm from Bristol, and in the center of the state it's definitely not like that - if we're trying to be like New Yorkers there, we're definitely failing.

Collin

I think I agree with APhiRAttlerGal on this one!! Too funny :D

Ronnie ;)

California: Land of Liposuction, Lawyers, and Lousy Drivers

California: Land of Liposuction, Lawyers, and Lousy Drivers

I'm with you on that. Bristol is much more a suburb of Hartford than of NYC. (I used to live there.) It depends where in CT you are... if you're in commuting distance of NYC, you could be considered a wannabe New Yorker - other than that, not so much. Connecticut is part of New England first, not just a big suburb of NYC.

Re: What state mottos SHOULD be :)
 

ROTFLMAO :D especially NJ!:p

Southern Christian morals? lol

You MUST be in So-Cal!:D

Northern California: Home of the homeless, Dot-com refugees, and REALLY lousy drivers!

Re: What state mottos SHOULD be :)
 

How about this one for Alaska:

"Let's cut Alaska in half, and Texas can be the third largest state."

And, you used to actually see this one in Colorado:

"Welcome to Colorado, now go home."

I think California had that one first. ;) That would be a variation of:

California - "Zonies, go home!"

(to those not in the know, "Zonies" is what we call people from Arizona - they like to invade SoCal in the summer. I don't blame them, it's hot in AZ!!)

:):):)

......Kelly :)

California might have had it first, but it would have been a long time ago. That was popular in Colorado in the 70's when the environmentalists thought that you could limit growth.

Didn't happen.

Another one for MI is always... Michigan - Beware Construction!

New Jersey and you toxic together. :p

Louisiana - We don't claim any part of the state north of I-10

Tennessee - Our interstate highway system was designed by a three year old.

Kentucky - Gas gets cheaper as the lotto goes up!

Ohio - Where old hippies go to die.

Arkansas - Clinton : our revenge for that "war of northern agression."

Arkansas - Property of Walmart, Inc.

Mississippi - Keeping the other southern states out of last place for over 150 years!

Texas - Where men are men and cows are nervous!

Texas - Only thing bigger than our state is our women's hair.


and some city ones:
New Orleans -Keeping "Girls Gone Wild" in buisness for over 200 years.

Branson MO - It's like if Ned Flanders ran Vegas!

Memphis TN - Beale Street is a lot like Burbon Street... really!

ROFL!!

I hate Branson, its such a tacky little town. :p

Arizona - "but it's a dry heat!!"


In case you haven't heard . Tucson hit 100 yesterday.

as a resident of new jersey, i agree that this is so, so, so true.

California--We're not going to fall into the ocean, really...

South Carolina's should be

"I wish all these damn yankees would go home"

Maryland: We're more than "the wire"

i actually have to explain to people that (1) there are other cities in maryland besides baltimore, and that there are *gasp* NICE neigborhoods throughout.

This one is courtesy of one of my IU journalism professors:

Indiana - Bring Something To Do

USCTKE, I'm pretty sure both Carolinas and GA could all have an honest motto regarding the influx of yankees.

I've always thought a certain Midwestern state's travel commission should use:

"Missouri loves company."
