report back with what your state stereotype is and if you think it is true.
currently i live in VT where there are a lot of gay marriages on maple syrup farms. we do have both, but they are not usually hand in hand. although we do like our farm weddings out here.
Re: early game as promised
Colorado: "Snow! I mean cocaine. But we're also known for skiing."
LOL, too funny. The skiing/snow part is a no brainer. But the coke reference is hilarious. Big epidemic right now. Especially in Highlands Ranch where trophy wives have nothing better to do than drive kids to soccer in their Lexuses and Range Rovers and do blow.

Florida the only place the more north you go the more south you get. Yes I would say this is very true.
I'll also throw in Rhode Island since I was born and raised people not believing we are a state this is somewhat true. Some people would be like "Oh you mean Long Island?" Um, no it's really a state there are only 50 of em.
How can u not know Rhode Island is a state? Did you not go to 2nd grade?
you would be surprised how many people don't know where VT is, that it is it's own state, etc. I am dumfounded.

hahahahahahaha! Love it!!!!
Wisconsin- "It's too cold to be sober."
um, yeah that's true. bottom line. However, our people don't discriminate, they drink in the cold, warm, or hot tempatures.
There are many, many towns in Wisconsin that have a ratio of about 100 people per bar (or even less than that). I mean, FIL lives in a town with population about 700, but there are 6 bars in the town. Really?!?!?! Is that necessary?!?!?
Yeah, I know. I may be bad a geography and not know where they all are but I now all the states.
GTL - Guidos, turnpikes and leeching off NY.
Have I mentioned how much I hate all the NJ based reality shows? Almost all of the people on them are from Long Island - not NJ.
Speed limits don't matter when you're drunk. MT.
Umm ya we are like 3rd in the country for drunk drivers and would be first if they knew the real stats. The speed limit thing comes from up until like 8 years ago our interstates didn't have a limit...you just had to drive for the conditions. If you have ever been here and driven the interstates you would understand. We now have 75 mph and you can't get a ticket unless you are going 10 over, the 10 over interstate tickets don't go on your record and are $20 on site. You have to be going 15 or 20 over to get an actual speeding ticket.
The town I grew up in has 4 bars and 1000 people. H's hometown has 500 people and 3 bars :-) Yep we're a drinking state.
Texas-"everything is bigger, even our morons"
I can't dispute, we definitely have some morons here!
Okay - maybe it's because my computer speakers are a POS but I couldn't hear what he said about California (he was also talking really fast!).
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Fun! I like the CO one too. :-)
Where I grew up:
Indiana - "You have to drive through us to get somewhere better." Fo' sho. There are a bajillion interstates in that state that all lead you past corn, soybeans and cows and not much else.
Where I am now:
Maryland - "Have Jeeves bring the lobster boat around." Um, I'm not sure I get this one. I would think it would be a crab boat with MD crabs...? I guess maybe he's insinuating that people are snobby around here? I can see that...
OMG these were two of my favorites! (along with the dakotas, WA, and OR) i think he was poking jabs at your crabs and the snooty/wealthiness of your state

I would have went with driving, accents. So agree fail at this state
I don't know... as a Colts fan, I think the Pats fans might just be the most obnoxious part about Mass.
No way this Mass one is totally appropriate!! The thing I hate most about New England is the awful Pats fans!
Pat's fans tend to talk a lot and not know very much about their team... my favorite quote "The Pat's have been in the top 5 teams in the NFL for the past 25 years" rrrriiiiiiiiiiiight
Currently in RI granted it's tiny, but you have no idea how many people I've met on vacations (in this country) that have NO idea what it is. I always get oh I love long island. ::shrug::
Angie- do you live in Rhode Island? If so what part? I was born and raised and went to college in RI. So I KNOW how annoying that is.
LOL
NY - World's 14th biggest city, first biggest ego.
I agree that if you live in NY most people do tend to think they live in the greatest state ever, and their ego's are as huge as their bank accounts. However, I think people tend to think we are obnoxious and snotty, which a lot of people here (especially NYC) are, but no more then most other large cities.
