There's a lil truth in all of those, methinks. I just wish whoever wrote this would have come up with sumthin' better for New Mexico... after all, we DID give the world its first nuclear detonation. And CHILES!
Actually Rhode Island really IS an island.
ReplyDeleteThe full name of the state is (ahem) "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." Rhode Island proper is also known as Aquidneck Island, which is also known as Newport County. Also known (to the denizens) as "The Island." Their motto is "If we have to cross a bridge we won't go there."
So "The Island" is the Rhode Island part of the state and Providence Plantations is everything else. You may well imagine the effect that last part of the name has on Libtards.
Just thought your readers should know.
And yes, our taxes are worse than Massachusetts. Seriously.
You prolly just tripled my knowledge about Rhode Island, in one comment.
DeleteThem daggone Canucks are so bloody NICE and all. . . somebody's gotta keep an eye on 'em. . .
ReplyDeleteI miss defending the Windsor - Deetroit border. I used to make sub-rosa runs over to Windsor every so often to collect samples of shoddy Commie exports from Cuba, just for analysis' sake. SOMEONE had to do it.
DeleteAnd of course, legal drinking age is 19 in Ontario, 21 in Michigan. Back in the days when you could just saunter across the border without a passport, my older kids invariably spent their 19th birthdays in Windsor.
DeleteI'm not the aficionado of fine see-gars that you are, but I could never resist picking up a Havana when I was in Canada. I'm prolly not nearly sophistimacated enough to really appreciate what I had, but I do know that I paid a pretty penny just to say I'd had one. . .
Cuban cigars are HIGHLY over-rated and I think I've gone on about that in other places on the blog. I seriously doubt I'd still be buying Cubans if I still lived in Dee-troit (contrary to what I said, above), mainly coz the offerings from various and sundry cigar manufacturers equal or exceed the stuff the Cubans export. But there IS that caché associated with Cuban cigars and part and parcel of that was bein' able to offer a Cuban to yer buds. I'm guilty of that.
DeleteAs for the drinking age... The Second Mrs. Pennington grew up in that magical time when the Michigan drinking age was 18. She was fond of sayin' that she didn't fall victim to that freshman drinking disease when she went off to college, mainly coz she went through it in high school. Benefits, and all that. :-)
