Rhode Island's official name is Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Rhode Island is what is currently referred to as Aquidneck Island (Newport, Middletown & Portsmouth), and the rest was Providence Plantations. I really did get the name question playing trivial pursuit one night. The question was what is the state with the longest name. :D |
Actually for NY there's something I saw on a t-shirt that I liked:
Welcome to New York. Now duck motherf*cker!!! (accompanied by picture of gun) Of course I'm not advocating violence, I just thought that was funny |
Quote:
Not advocating violence either. :p |
|
That's funny stuff.
I heart NY! |

and Alabama's should be: "Hell yeeeee-uh....we got eeelicktricity AND indoor plummin'....finally" ;) |
New Jersey: only called "The Garden State" because "Oil Refinery and Pollution" wouldn't fit on the license plates.

that's funny. I think South Dakota's should be changed, i propose... South Dakota Third World Country in the Middle of America? Welcome to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Kitso KS 361 |
This is so funny.
Pennsylvania is actually having a contest right now to come up with a new slogan. We did a story about the rejected ideas one night on the news. One of the suggestions was "If the pot holes don't kill you, the taxes will." I forget the others, but there were some pretty funny ones. |
North Dakota... world's third largest nuclear superpower! (5th Bomb Wing (B-52s) and 91st Space Wing (Minuteman ICBMs) at Minot AFB and the 319th Air Refueling Wing (KC-135 tankers) at Grand Forks AFB.)
North (and South) Dakota - American Siberia! |
