Someone finally knows NOT TO pronounce the s in Illinois!!!

YellowRose said...

Having been born and raised in Illinois, you just don't know how many times I have said that same statement!! Matter of fact, I had to give a grammer lesson to one of Big D's little cousin's who kept pronouncing the "s" last weekend!! She quickly caught on! ;o)


And the Texas one...too funny! LOL

Love this list!

*hugs*

Phew! that was a handful.

Daisy - This was a fun primer on the states. You are always so entertaining!

Julie said...

it really does drive people from illinois nuts if you say the "s";)

srp said...

(Loud applause)
This was really great.
Mississippi is sooooooo true.
Virginia's is too.

Pink Chihuahua Princess said...

LOL! This list is fantastic!

Renee Nefe said...

Out of all the states that I've lived in or visited those are true...except for CO. I've been skiing 3 times in my life and trust me the world is a safer place with me far away from the slopes.
We have a bunch of other extreem sports here too, but I don't do those either.

I'm not sure what a good replacement moto would be. I don't think that we (as a state) really have our own opinion.

Unknown said...

They sure got VA right! Love the list.

Melzie said...

You know.. the potatoes... hubby said they were different- but I honestly have no idea how he knows. Everyone here knows. It's just a potato... HOWEVER! They are in my garden, LOL! Which I thinkis cool.

Joan said...

So clever! You keep finding the cutest things to post.

Jennifer said...

the one about ohio... i bet a lot of people don't get it...

LOL! I loved these! And I'm all over the one about Ohio. So many people dislike Michigan here it's not even funny. Thanks for the laugh!
