I think this one should have been in red too:

Alaska: 11,623 Eskimos Can't Be Wrong!

I find this slogan very amusing:


Oklahoma:Like the play only no singing!

Love that!

OMG!! poison ivy's avatar!!!

THE VIRGIN SUICIDES!!

me likey!!

and about the states, some went over my head, such as :

VERMONT: yep
WISCONSIN: come cut the cheese

...?

yeah... PI has a kick ass avvy...

i like the vermont slogan because... well,
wtf does vermont have to offer? tee hee

and wisconsin is funny cuz its where cheese is made

but now i see.

what about FLORIDA: ask about our grandkids?

me likes arkansas... [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

the joke about florida is that all the elderly
and retired folk move to florida. its kinda like
a cultural joke that when you are retired, you
move to florida.

actually, i kinda knew that many people retire to florida. it just didn't 'click'.

stoopidme. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Yes, me likes my new Av. very much thanks. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I think I am starting to like state slogans as much as usless facts..like this for example:

A can of Diet Coke will float in water while a can of regular Coke sinks..

or this:

A Saudi Arabian woman can get a divorce if her husband doesn't give her coffee...thats what Im talking about!

I don't believe that so I'm gonna try it sometime, and if it IS in fact accurate, I'm gonna edit this post so it says "Yeah I know how amazing is that?".

I did try it, the second I read that fact..And it did indeed work!
AMAZING!!

you should video it, KN....

we'd all like to see
(but i'm not buying a damn diet coke for shit!)

i have a 2L bottle of dCOke in fridge. do you think it'll still work? except i don't have 2 L bottle of coke.

i used to REALLY like diet coke. but then we kept on getting normal coke. now i think diet coke tastes like shit, but i'm still drinkin it.

I'm gonna try this even though I know its BS.
