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.

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."

Mr. Bingley said...

And for Wisconsin the winner was "Eat Cheese Or Die."
