He bedded Paris Hilton and got on her phone list.
He invented Pringles; suggested "spicey cajun" as a new flavor.

He is really smart and has a super large penis.

He thinks Bud Light isn't less filling nor does it taste great.
Throws fab parties where everyone except those with the name of "craig" are invited.
Well, gee whizz. You sure do like yourself alot.
That makes me like you even less.
Now what I like about you is beyond nothing. We are now into negatives.
I dislike everything about you, plus one.
And since you dont invite people named Craig, I'd still be invited. Although I wouldnt want to go to any party you throw.

He is devastatingly handsome.
He is inordinately witty.
There is one other item on your list about which I am exceedingly curious.

Can you REALLY name all 50 state capitols?

Well I guess I'm invited since my name is Greg and not craig, but I'm going to decline the invitation because eating with you might make me hurl.
Sincerely,
Gregory A. Hoodin

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think I can, but I get shaky on the final 5. I just typed up 41 of them only to have one tiny slip of the pinky finger erase them all. Does that suck or what?Quote:

I promise not to cheat. Back at you later.
Here goes. I have to come back because I'm not sure of a five of them. Now I *didn't* cheat, but I did go to yahoo to look at a list of cities in Oregon and New Hampshire, which did not identify which is the capitol:
1. Hilo, Hawaii
2. Juneau, Alaska
3. Olympia, Washington
4. Eugene, Oregon
5. Sacramento, California
6. Boise, Idaho
7. Helena, Montana
8. Carson City, Nevada
9. Santa Fe, New Mexico
10. Denver, Colorado
11. Pierre, South Dakota
12. Lincoln Nebraska
13. Topeka, Kansas
14. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
15. Austin, Texas
16. Baton Rouge, Louisiana
17. Little Rock, Arkansas
18. Jefferson City, Missouri
19. Des Moines, Iowa
20. Minneapolis, Minnesota
21. Madison, Wisconsin
22. Springfield, Illinois
23. Lansing, Michigan
24. Columbus, Ohio
25. Indianapolis, Indiana
26. Frankfort, Kentucky
27. Nashville, Tennessee
28. Hattiesburg, Mississippi
29. Montgomery, Alabama
30. Tallahassee, Florida
31. Atlanta, Georgia
32. Columbia, South Carolina
33. Raleigh, North Carolina
34. Richmond, Virginia
35. Dover, Delaware
36. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
37. Trenton, New Jersey
38. Albany, New York
39. Providence, Rhode Island
40. Hartford, Connecticut
41. Boston, Massachusetts
42. Montpelier, Vermont
43. Derry, New Hampshire
44. Portland, Maine
45. Charleston, West Virginia
As for the remaining 5, give me a little more time. You may correct me on any mistakes thus far, as they are my final answer. But don't comment on the following:
Arizona - is it Flagstaff, Phoenix or Tuscon? Leaning toward Flagstaff - DON'T TELL ME! Also, Wyoming (Cheyenne or Laramie) and North Dakota (Fargo?), Maryland (Appomatox?), Utah (Provo or Salt Lake City - I think, Provo).
Well, I got New Hampshire wrong, it's Concord, not Derry. And it's state capitAl, not capitOl.
Ding.
I now wonder what other mistakes I made.
I also got Oregon wrong. It's Salem, not Eugene. And now I'm thinking I got Minnesota wrong. It's probably St. Paul.
But for my remaining guesses,
Flagstaff, Arizona
Fargo, North Dakota
Appamatox, Maryland
Laramie, Wyoming (Or is it Cheyenne?)
Salt Lake City, Utah
Now, I go check. I'm so disappointed in my performance so far. Craig will never let me live it down.

Oh, I sucked.
ANNAPOLIS~ I've BEEN there. Jeesh.
Wyoming is Cheyenne. I knew that, too. Laramie is right up the road and is home to the University of Wyoming - I always get that confused.
It is PHOENIX. Duh.
North Dakota is Bismarck.
Minnesota is St. Paul.
My...how time erases the memory.
<font color="#FFFFAA" size="1">[ February 24, 2005 07:29 AM: Message edited by: Sarcazmo ]</font>
Oh, and Maine is Augusta.
Seems I barely made a "B."
Now I am questioning the truth of your other assertions for which I have no way of knowing the validity.
[img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">AL, I fulfilled my assertion. I told you I could name the 50 state capitals. That is exactly what I did.Quote:

You'll just have to trust me on my penis size and my claim to inventing Pringles. P&G and I are in litigation right now. With regards to Pringles that is.
Hawaii is Honolulu.
Mississippi is Jackson, not Hattiesburg.

If you'd like me to list the capitols, I will attempt to do this, too. My guess, though, is that most would be named "The Capitol Building."
Please advise.

Reason-
most of them are the "capitol building." But for bonus points...
1) Which is the only one to have a unicameral legislature?
2) Which one has working oil wells on its grounds?
3) Which is the prettiest? Which is the ugliest?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The answer to #1 is Nebraska.Quote:

1. Nebraska
2. Oklahoma
3. matter of perception
One of the prettiest is West Virginia. I was living there while Gov. Jay Rockefeller brought in a family from Italy to apply 23.5 carat gold leaf to the dome.

While he was doing that, the locals were busy burning down a new building meant to house the mentally handicapped because they didn't want "frikin retards" moving into the area. [img]confused.gif[/img]
I've always been partial to Minnesota's building.
http://www.phototour.minneapolis.mn.us/pics/2314.jpg
North Dakota's is an office building. How is that pretty?
Ohio's certainly isn't the easiest on the eye, but I don't think it's the worst. I think the interior is quite nice.
Check out Alaska's. That's even worse then North Dakota's.
Wait. Florida's is the ugliest. Looks like an office building in downtown Columbus.
A pox upon all "office building" capitols.
State capitols should use the people's money to be ornate, and have cupolas, and be decorative.
Reason, want to buy me a beer a week from Friday?

Y'alls is smart 'uns.
Nebraska, indeed, has the unicameral legislative body (which,let's face it- all states should have. I see the need for the bicameral legislature at the Federal level, but why do we need an Ohio Sentate and an Ohio House? No, the Senate doesn't represent the "cities", they are basically the same house only there are fewer Senators).
Oklahoma basically shows its allegiance to Kerr-McGee- I mean, to its rich oil history with working oil wells on its capitol grounds (and good to here from Ickey!)
Contrary to your assertions, question 3 is not subjective but is, in fact, objective- if we count the grounds, Frankfort, Kentucky has the most beautiful set-up, especially in the spring with its wonderful floral clock. Honorable mention goes towards Charleston as Lan mentions, St. Paul is nice, as is Montpelier.
The ugliest capitol is none other than our own cheesebox on a raft in Columbus.
Dishonorable mention to Baton Rouge, which, on the tour, they show you the blood-stained walls where Huey Long got capped.
Santa Fe is unique in that it's in that native adobe style construction, I don't know if it's "beautiful" but it's really neat. The top step at Denver marks exactly 5,280' above sea level. And who can't be touched by the anchor from the U.S.S. Arizona that adorns the grounds in Phoenix (provided you're not there on a day when it's 115 in the shade).
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Off the top of my head I can't think of anything on my schedule that night, so let's drink! I'll tentatively pencil that one in!Quote:
