Stupid states...

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Stupid states...

These are actual facts about what i would call stupid states in the US.

Indiana State Nickname : The Hoosier State.
Washington State Motto : "Bye and bye."
Idaho state song : "Here We Have Idaho."
Alabama, Missouri and Oregon all have an official state nut.
Massachusetts and New Mexico have a State Cookie.
Utah has an Official State Cooking Pot.
Maine, Nebraska, Michigan, South Dakota and Wisconsin all have a State Soil.
Minnesota and Kansas both have a giant twine ball. After the creator's death, you would expect them to leave it at the landfill. But no. They have annual festivals for their giant twine balls.

My favorite: A motto of Brooklyn is "Fuhgeddaboudit."
What is stupid about where you live? Post them here.

Dark Helmet: How many A**holes we got on this ship anyhow?
Almost all of crew: YO!
Dark Helmet: I knew it! I'm surrounded by A**holes! (Lowers visor and in Darth Vader tone of voice) KEEP FIRING, A**HOLES!!!

I'm a disco bandit. Are you?

pah! It just so happens that Staffordshire possesses the world's biggest teapot AND the world's biggest oatcake, although the attempt to bake the world's biggest meat pie failed when they couldn't get enough coins together for the gas.

Leek, in Staffordshire, possesses more pubs per head of population than anywhere else in the UK, and possibly the world. But if you ever went there, you'd realise why.

Ohio has many cities, many cornfields and many a head of cow. The irony is that the farmers know jack about life int eh cities and the city fold know jack about farmers. This is just a generalization, Stinger, and all generalizations are bad.

Also, we pass concealed gun laws when last year alone the city of Columbus (pop 630,000) had around 84 gun related homicides and has had 35 Bak robberies so far this year.

We are also famous here because no president since Kennedy has ever won without carrying Ohio.

State Flower: Carnation, last time I saw one: Internet

State Animal: White Tailed Deer, last time they were in the news: Deer Season

State Fossil: Trilobite, What is it: how do I know, it's a fishy thing

State Motto: With god, all things are possible, Separation of church and state anyone?


In conclusion, this thread could get political.

Also, If anyone here is from michigan, you ****-****-****

We've got a man made mountain, which has been likened to an enourmous dinosaur turd. It basically looks like a huge paper mache monstrosity that's been painted brown. I would post a picture but it appears that no-one has got the guts to display it on a website.


Then up north from Adelaide in our citrus producing area, we have a Big Orange that you can actually go inside of!! Exciting no?

Trilobite.... Try looking up horse shoe crab. You will find a modern descendant and one that isn't that different from its ancient ancestors.

What happened here? Who is "A Moderator?"

I'm sure if you look up old laws on the web, you'll find a bunch of really dumb state laws still on the books that were never repealed.

For instance, one I remember off-hand, in Texas it is illegal to take a bath with your clothes on. From the 1860's or something.

Hehe, Sir Spectre *insert evil laugh here*

Also, in Kentucky you have to bathe at least once a year and you can't carry Ice Cream in your back pocket.
In Cleveland you have to have a hunting license to catch mice and you can't do it on sundays. You also can't get fish drunk.

Utah is the worst possible state, in my opinion. There's not a damn thing to do here. There's Lagoon but it pales in comparison to Ohio's Cedar Point. In this particular town I live in, most of the stores are closed on Sunday's. That includes Wendy's, which is where I've been working the past 7 months. Of course it's also a good thing that Wendy's isn't open on Sundays, I like having my days off. Another stupid thing, is that this particular Wendy's location closes at 11 p.m. I was born in this state, and I'm probably gonna die here too.

Taw - A big teapot, eh? Well Australia has the "Giant Worm", the "Giant Macadamia Nut", the "Big Banana", and of course the "Big Orange" that Mustang mentioned. Don't as me why; I don't know!
