Whenever E and I are on a road trip (like the many 8 hr
drives we make to Tennessee) we play games or just start naming states &
their capitols & birds & such. We also play what animal would win in a
fight to the death (the one we can never agree on is mongoose vs. badger). So
here’s my state vs. state fight to the death (I’m doing Maryland- where I’m
moving to, Virginia- where I live currently, and Tennessee- where I’m from).
Round 1: Flowers
MD has the black-eyed Susan, VA has the dogwood, &
TN has the iris. It's a toughie, but I'm going with the iris.
WINNER: Tennessee
Round 2: Flags
Wow, Maryland’s flag is major fugs and Virginia’s is a little
violent, but Tennessee's is a little boring. I’m going with VA!
WINNER: Virginia
Round 3: Birds
MD with the oriole, VA with the cardinal, and TN with the mockingbird.
Also a toughie, but since there are 6 other states with the cardinal (played out), I’m going to give it to the Oriole!
WINNER: Maryland
A three-way tie, now we need a tie-breaker!
Tie-Breaker: Trees
MD has the white oak, VA has flowering dogwood, and TN has yellow poplar. Um, no comment, we're still moving, but Maryland better get some things together!
Anyway, I had fun looking this up . If you're interested in your state (or any state)'s stuff go here.
2 days until NYC!
Haha VA's flag is violent! That's pretty funny! I like dogwood, I vote anything dogwood. Looks like VA would be my winner.
ReplyDeleteyeah. MD needs to step their game up a notch. Dude. White oak... 'nuff said.
ReplyDeleteTexas has the bluebonnet, the pecan tree, and the mockingbird (straight up funniest bird, ever). It mocks. I mock. Match made in heaven.
Come to Texas. It's all good here.
I will also be posting something about the wonders of Texas some time soon.
Deleteooo nyc!! so lucky!! i LOVE that city; so much to do!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like the MD flag, tree, or flower...we really need some re branding in this state :)
