rename a state challenge
jerry_fross
would you call it?
my vote would be for one of the carolinas, one of the virginias or one
of the dakotas. why do we have two of each? one should be renamed to
hargot.

well missouri should be officially changed to missoura. i like new
mexico. "there's a NEW mexico?" pennsylvania should be changed to
pennsyltucky. if you live in pa, you'd know what i was talking about.
maryland should become either "chesapeake" or "piggly wiggly". new
york should be called "norman".

Lol, that's a good idea...like the town in ...wherever it is that's
named Hell. What about New Hampshire?

I think that Arkansas has to go... as lovely a song as it is by Mr.
Linnell, it just isn't pronounced correctly. I mean, Kansas is
pronounced "Kan-sas", so it should follow that Arkansas is pronounced
"Ar-kan-sas" - but no... someone thought they should make it as
confusing as possible to all the elementary school children trying to
simultaneously learn geography, spelling and pronunciations by having
it pronounced "Ar-kan-saw".
In keeping with the *use another state's name in your name* rule, I
say we call it UnderMissouri - this will help the children out on
their geography quizzes big time.
Am I bitter about mispronouncing Arkansas? No, because I didn't - it
really just bothers me. Don't ask me about Illinois, though...

I vote we change Alabama to "Chim-Chim".

(yes, they have one) wanted to change the name of the state to just
"dakota". I guess the word "North" conjured up images of a cold and
dark place, apparently, which was not good for the state's image.
Of course, if you've ever had the opportunity to travel through
wonderful north dakota, you would know this couldn't be further from
the truth! *sarcasm*

For example, if i said I was going to "Mitten", then you would know
that was the former Michigan... "Rectange" would be Colorado... "New
Rectangle" would be Wyoming... "Anvil" would be Minnesota... "Blob"
would be Kentucky... Alabama and Mississippi would simply be known as
the "Mirror Image States"- and so on.

So we can call California "Sort of a Guy's Profile if You're Really Drunk and
Squinting"? Think of the horrible turn the state song would take!

I would rename New York to "4". And that doesn't take into account the
non-NYC counties of Long Island, which should secede and call itself
"Alligator" or "Headless Fish".
