Yesterday we published a set of maps that came from a survey about what Americans think of other states.
Essentially, each respondent was asked to answer a question with a state that wasn't their own, like which state is the drunkest, the nicest, the most arrogant.
We looked at the data and decided to compress the 22 maps into one map.

On this map, every state that won a superlative — first place in any question — has its claims to fame in bolded print. For instance, Colorado was the top vote getter in the Most Beautiful scenery category.

How about the Eagles Court they used to have at Veterans Stadium to arraign deviant fans during the game? Not sure if they have it at the new stadium. One of the upper-deck snowball throwers was our ex-governor, Fast Eddie Rendell.
I think it’s pretty easy to see what the political leanings of the respondents are.
I was feeling about my American girlfriend
and she slapped me.
Yeah every other friggin’ license plate down here is from one of those NE states or California that hate us so much. I follow the same rule as I do with national image, if it is so bad here why don’t you stay where you came from?...!
Betcha it’d look a lot bigger than that! There sure does seem to be a lot of “Texans at heart” that are caught somewhere else.
Hey wait just a damn minute! I live in Seattle but I was raised in Texas thank you. And I ain’t talkin Austin.
Therefore, I reserve the right to repatriate to the country of my childhood when I so choose.
And y’all can b*tch and holler but them’s the facts!
Smartest as defined by:
Hillary - smartest woman in the world criteria ..... ??????
RE: Hillary - smartest woman in the world criteria ..... ??????
She was originally from Illinois. And Slick Willy, the “smart president” who couldn’t keep is pants down, is from Arkansas...
I was initially shocked to see Pennsylvania ranked as the worst sports fans
Don’t be. Philadelphians are rabid sports fanatics....
They live and die by their teams. They wear their eccentricity as a badge of honor.
Example:
Snowballing Santa Claus
Yes this actually happened at an Eagles football game.
P.S. Born and raised in Philly , so i know of what I quote.
Texas the least favorite?
Lived in Tx for several years. Daughter born there.
Some very fine people who as you state wouldn’t mind being on their own.
Remember the Alamo....... :) :)
One of the upper-deck snowball throwers was our ex-governor, Fast Eddie Rendell.
A fine example of Philly....
Also, you know “ don’t sit anywhere under the 400 level” as the halftime
break may find you getting a “ yellow rain shower” from those who are too lazy to make it to the restrooms......
It’s only natural for people who think the smartest are in Assachusetts to think the ugliest are in Alabama. Heck, I’ve seen some girls from Alabama who looked pretty enough to be from South Carolina!
My husband and I took my brother and sister-in-law on a tour of Ohio’s Amish country. She was amazed. “I didn’t know Ohio had such scenery!”
Chuckle. Evidently she isn’t alone. For the record, Ohio’s Amish country is an extremely popular autumn foliage tourist destination. If you are coming in October you need to have your hotel room reserved now.
Heres my advise to Californians thinking about moving to Texas.
Dear Californians,
Dont believe Texas is where you want to be. Its hot and humid, we have fire ants and hurricanes. Property taxes will kill you if some six shooter toting drunk dont first. Yeah theres that Austin enclave of ex-Californians but we dont recognize that as Texas anymore, even if they are holding the capital hostage. Course Dallas aint much better but least its near Ft Worth and Arlington, what they call up there the Metrosexualplex or something. You wont want to breathe the air around Houston, or up in the Piney Woods if youve got allergies like most of you sissys do. And you wont find that California cuisine thing called presentation or plating with the little artichoke in the middle of the plate neither, youll be lucky to see the dang plate with a big ole chicken fried steak hanging off the edges. Trust me, everything is bigger in Texas and that little Prius you love is going to be blown off the road by some real woman in an F-250 on our soon to be posted 85mph highways. It might make you feel at home to see so many Mexicans but ours have been here long as the country has and they work, hard like Texans like to do. So please for your own sake stay in California or move to Portland, Seattle, or Denver, youve already screwed them up.
Love ya
Bubba
I guess those white people must be really ignorant to negate all that brilliance.
Count me in! I've got a Cruz missile ready for those that want to turn Texas into a blue state.
If they kick ya’ll out can Alabama come with you? We may be ugly but we are deep red.
