So Wyoming is a lot like Wales then.
Virginia - Where the slack jawed yokels ARE the government.
Puerto Rico -- Which way is New York, hombre?
Hey-hey-hey,
Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Woody Guthrie, Flaming Lips, etc., etc., etc.
Oklahoma has a LOT better singing than the damn play.
And, yeah, Wyoming actually is a bit like
Wales, but without dragons or castles, now that you mention it.
It was more the scared sheep i was thinking of!
Actually we did have sort of a contest a few years ago here in NJ to come up with a new motto. My favorites were "New Jersey. You Got A Problem With That?" and "New Jersey: Go Away. We're Full."
And for Wisconsin the winner was "Eat Cheese Or Die."
hehehe
Ah, I see. Fair enough.
