How weird is your state?

Apologies for not posting every state, some of you just aren’t that weird.

.

This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. There are entirely too many fake cowboys.

Do pickles bounce in every state, or just Connecticut?

Is my recently dormant pickle algorithm to blame for this blog?

I have questions…

If I have any Hawaiian readers, please try this and report back.

Okay, so that’s not very weird, but it’s my state so I’m including it.

I’m also adding this picture …. of the absolutely only billboard I’ve ever seen here. It’s on the Lisbon road heading towards Lewiston and was supposedly “grandfathered” in.

I don’t buy that excuse. There were plenty of older billboards, someone is just too cowardly to rip down God.

Kudos to Nebraska for their honesty.

.

.

Finally, a reason to visit Notth Dakota.

Do you love this as much as I do?

I’m not sure why they thought a giant plastic potato would draw tourists to their state, but I’m all in.

It also might explain something my husband and I are puzzled by every time we drive by this house…

.

.

Yes. This is real.

.

.

Clearly the homeowners are from Rhode Island.

Seagulls have been known to wreak havoc here. I’ve had them steal a loaf of bread from my tote bag and dive bomb our cat. They will flat out f**k you up.

I’m definitely not spitting on one.

  1. I’ve driven through Nebraska more times than I care to remember, so I was delighted when those “It’s not for everyone” ads came out. I was like, “Yup. It’s not for me.”
    I wonder who was trying to pass off ersatz pickles to inspire that zany law.
    And yay to Maine for banning billboards. They’re a scourge on the landscape.

  3. I don’t know how my state (CT) judges sliced pickles. Do they have inspectors at the plant to bounce one before they’re sliced?

    I’ve been to Nebraska; the old slogan was correct.

  5. It’s not an official slogan but…folks used to travel regularly from Wisconsin to Colorado. That requires a long drive across Nebraska. A local band wrote a song about that trip. The title was “(I Hate to Wake up) Sober in Nebraska”.

  6. Somewhere in my collections of stuff, I have a cartoon postcard of “Welcome to Nebraska, armpit of America”. Based on comments, that state sure gets picked on! I know I’ve been there, but I remember nothing about it… nothing at all.

  9. The only wired natural fact about Texas is that King Ranch, is as big as the State of Rhode Island. King Ranch is in Kingsland Texas and it’s funny to know that Rhode Island and Vermont could fit inside Texas. The unnatural wired thing about Texas is our idiot, unfit, moronic, knuckle dragging state Government 🙄

  10. The only weird thing about New York is the Pizza Principle. The Pizza Principle is the New York City tradition that a subway ticket always has to be the same price as a slice of pizza in the city.
