New state mottoes thisaway

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Sort of like they need to learn that we don't have winter all year here in Canada - there are a couple of days of bad skiing around mid-August.

Are those the two days of the year where you can walk around in shorts and flip flops?

[XCashier]

...people really, really, really NEED to learn that this state isn't entirely a desert and we don't have 100+ degree temperatures all year round.

Yeah, Zonies head up to Flagstaff or Sedona in northern Arizona to get away from the heat into refreshingly cool 90 F temperatures!

(Former Zonie here, BTDT. And yes, 90 F does feel very comfortable compared to 115 F!)

For fun, Australian state mottoes:

New South Wales: The State That Thinks Its Superior.
Northern Territory: Home of the Darwin Social Ice Hockey Team*.
Queensland: Two Main Climates: Stinking Hot and Stupid Humid.
Victoria: We're named after a long-reigning Queen!
South Australia: We Pretend We're Important, But We're Not.
Western Australia: Largest State, Funniest Capital.
ACT: Home of the Prime Minister.
Tasmania: wait, we're part of Australia?

This is at 11:52 Aussie time. I need to go to bed.

*-THere is a joke behind this.

I like behind jokes...

... "It's large and white and it follows me!"
"A ghost?"
"No, mine arse."

... a lady of James II's court.

[Tyg3rW01f]

large, white and follows me...
that would be the KKK in Mississippi.

And even if you're WHITE, the KKK hates you. Unless you're KKK.

They're a group of people who post out requests for international ice hockey teams to show up, then when they don't show up, they claim victory over them by default. Because of this, they haven't lost a game in over 20 years

Also, new motto for WA: the State that's 2 steps behind the rest of the country.

Shouldn't that be for Mississippi?

I'll have to share this with a friend (from SA like me, living with his now-wife in Qld, he's in the army, she works for a call centre)
