Wisconsin - a drinking state with a football problem.

How about a cheddar brat and a beer, hey?

Have to say, those last three were great.

Michigan, first line of defense from Canada..
Not for long, thanks to our wonderful governor, for years they've been sending their garbage over, pretty soon we'll just be another garbage dump...surrounded by lakes...

Michigan-Last one leaving, turn out the lights.

United Van Lines reports that more people are moving out of Michigan than any other state. While the rest of the country is recovering (so I hear) we are just dying here.

Well, who wants to live in a state with a rodent (Wolverine) for a school mascot. Everyone knows a Buckeye is the better choice.

Ah, grasshopper, it's you that didn't think it through. The Buckeye is poisonous. It kills the rodent.

Raymond you really hit this one on the head.

We could also be the land of construction barrels. Around KC they are closing so many roads for construction that the saying "you can't get there from here" is actually true.

Wolverines aren't rodents. The only rodent that's a state mascot is the gopher in Minnesota. They actually pay a bounty to kill gophers in many places in Minnesota, Tough crowd.

Hey SP, I enjoy a little sparring, but I do have to say that Ann Arbor is much more cooler than Columbus, IMHO.

But then.....the Spartan comes and reigns terror all through the Buckeye State claiming the territory for it's own and making all of the Ohioians (Ohioites?) ball kids at every major sporting event. The older ladies are sent to be maids for the Michigan Militia

What's a Buckeye?

As for the last one out of Michigan, turn out the lights, we make a joke of that each year in December after Christmas as we head down to Florida. Every RV on the road has Michigan license plates!

It's dark brown with a small lighter brown circle at one end. There's also a treat called a buckeye - a peanut butter ball dipped almost completely in chocolate - leaving a ligher brown circle at one end.
