Trust me, the asshole is Wyoming.

[DopeyAngel]

lol but I'm slightly confused - what are these motto thingys? Am I a fool or is because I'm British (or both?!)?

Every state here in the U.S. has an "official motto." Like "Land of 10,000 Lakes" for Minnesota or "Live Free or Die" for New Hampshire.

Silver has been kind enough to come up with some new mottos for us.

 

[DopeyAngel]

Aaah! I see now. Thank you - I'm not quite as dense as I thought I was then. That's really cool, but I can imagine that they would all be the same in britain - 'Area of wet, windy weather and sarcastic ppl'!

 

[kotori]

British County Motto Thingys

So maybe you and the rest of the Brits could work on this.

Cornwall: So what's a duchy anyway?
Devonshire: We got creamed.
West Yorkshire: *Cough*

(Just a few I've visited, not really speaking from experience.)

 

[DopeyAngel]

lol kotori - good idea, I'm going to be thinking about mottos for british places now!

 

[BustyTheClown]

Wisconsin should be something like: "Unpredictable weather and damn proud of it!" or "Packers or bust" or "Packer up or pack out"

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that's funny-strange... Crazy Packer-people -- why didn't they make a 50s sci-fi film "Attack of the Packer Fans" or something like that? It sure scares ME...

 

[Throbbin_Rod]

Wisconsin

"Paint thinner goes good with bratwurst..."

 

[DopeyAngel]

It does?
