I told 'em to come here to discuss it. But the fact is, new threads are more likely to get noticed. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

"Maryland's a beautiful state." "This is Delaware," "I know. I was one of the original Chinese workmen who laid the track on this stretch. But nonetheless, Maryland is a beautiful state. So is Ohio, for that matter."

John Linnell of TMBG fame did a whole CD of state songs. Not that that has anything to do with this but anyway it's cool. South Carolina is far and away my favorite, but Maine also rocks. I don't know if he's finished with all 50 yet. There are only about 15 on the cd. Not one for Alabama.

There must be a joke about Jewish guilt and Catholic guilt in there somewhere, but I can't come up with one . . . )

Bwahahahahaha! In this vial is the distilled essence of Jewish guilt. In this vial, Catholic guilt. When I combine them, I will hold in my hand the most powerful force in the universe!

Good thing I had finished my cream soda before I saw that! Two Hatrackers spewing soda on their monitors in the same day -- well, let's just say I try to be more original than that.
For North Carolina (or perhaps South):
Charles Cornwallis: Colonel Tavington, why, after six weeks, am I still here at Middleton place attending a ball in South Carolina while I should be attending balls in NORTH CAROLINA?

And one for South Carolina:
Private Joker: [narrating] "Paris Island, South Carolina. The Marine Corps Training Depot. An eight-week college for the stupid tough and the crazy brave."

BTW, Penn quote is going in at next update.
The problem with your first quote, rivka, is that it seems to say something much more poignant about SC than NC, and your SC quote from FMJ is much better.

P.S., come on, no one can find one about Mississippi?

Ulysses Everett McGill: That's not the issue Delmar. Even if that did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi's a little more hard-nosed.

Sam McCord: George, a wonderful thing about Alaska is that matrimony hasn't hit up here yet. Let's keep it a free country! -- North to Alaska, 1960
Anthony Cortino: I'm not my father, Diane, just like you're not your father. If we were our fathers, what we did last night would only be legal in Arkansas. -- Mafia! (aka: Jane Austen's Mafia!), 1998
Bethany: Were they sent to Hell? Metatron: Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history. -- Dogma, 1999

Maj. Demming: I think that I would rather live in the rottenest pigsty in Tennessee or Alabama than the fanciest mansion in all of Georgia. How about that?

Tony Montana: You wanna waste my time? Okay. I call my lawyer. He's the best lawyer in Miami. He's such a good lawyer, that by tomorrow morning, you gonna be working in Alaska. So dress warm.

Updated the list. I put in all states with a contribution except North Carolina (I put that one in for SC). If I missed you or misattributed someone let me know.
Almost half done, and so far there's been no settling. Excellent!
Glenn Welsch, Mayor: There's a saying in Missouri, if you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. In Blaine, with hard work, I think we can get that down to three or four minutes.

Mike: That's the place to be right there, Wyoming! Nothin' but prairies and mountains and nobody around. All you need is your bed roll and a good horse. Cyril: Don't forget your toothbrush! You're still in your cavity-prone years.

From Miss Congeniality: Gracie Hart: In Hawaii don't they use aloha for hello and goodbye? Miss Hawaii: Yeah, so? Gracie Hart: so if you're on the phone with somebody and they won't stop talking and you say, ok aloha, don't they just start over again?
From Quick: Sheriff: You folks are from Hawaii and you came to L.A. on your honeymoon? Herschel: Yeah. One day we just got sick of living in paradise.

quote:Arizona H.I. McDonnough: I couldn't believe that a woman who looked as fertile as the Tennessee River Valley could bear no children, but the doctor explained that her insides were a rocky place, where my seed could find no purchase. Raising Arizona contributed by my sweetie pie!
I don't really understand how this is about Arizona except for the title of the movie.

Albert: Oh yes...Coldeman. The "d" is silent in America. It's Cole D'Isle au Man, or Cole of the Isle of Man, in France, where Armand's chateau is, Cold-e-man in Greece where Armand's work is, and finally the vulgar Coleman in Florida where Armand's home is, so actually, we don't know where we are until we hear our last name pronounced! Ahahahahahahaaaaa!!!

Oh, and I'm very upset you didn't use my West Virginia quote.
*edit* And here's one for Rhode Island.
There's a country that's so small, Rhode Island can beat the hell out of it!

OK, I added Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, and Wyoming.
