Excelsior! o.o;
Jul. 12th, 2004 11:19 amSo like...I didn't go to school today. Long story. Work isn't as great as I'd hoped, running out of money fast, and wondering what the fuck I'm doing looking at loan sites online. ;;
But amongst all this I some how start looking up state facts with Matt and...the following conversation ensued.
Chiroay Toraah: Matt Groening is an Oregonian. =D
Chiroay Toraah: And the guy who was the band leader for the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson hosted it.
RemusLycanthe: Ooh.
Chiroay Toraah: Ooo...and the writer of The Wizard of Earthsea (which is being turned in to a miniseries on SciFi).
Chiroay Toraah: And the chick who starred in the TV series The Bionic Woman. o-o
Chiroay Toraah: California's state motto is Eureka. xD
RemusLycanthe: Haha.
RemusLycanthe: I think NY has the most tourist attractions of any state, all consolidated into one island. o_o
Chiroay Toraah: I think so too. o.o
RemusLycanthe: New York was the first state to 1) preserve an historic site (Washington's Headquarters at Newburgh); 2) establish a state park (Niagara Reservation); and 3) declare land "forever wild" (the Adirondack and Catskill forest preserves) in the State Constitution.
RemusLycanthe: Woo. <<;
RemusLycanthe: And this is scary:
RemusLycanthe: New York has a state muffin! The Apple Muffin was created for the Bear Road Elementary School children in North Syracuse, who were instrumental in getting the Governor to sign a bill making it the official State muffin.
Chiroay Toraah: Eesh. New Yorkers did it all.
Chiroay Toraah: ...o-o;
Chiroay Toraah: *scared*
RemusLycanthe: We have a state muffin, how exciting.
RemusLycanthe: http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/stateknow/ny2.html
Chiroay Toraah: I saw that.
RemusLycanthe: A MUFFIN.
Chiroay Toraah: Our only claim to fame is our two uinque animals. o.o
RemusLycanthe: For chrissakes.
RemusLycanthe: But we have a MUFFIN.
RemusLycanthe: <<;
Chiroay Toraah: Yeah. You're cool now, Matt. *snort*
RemusLycanthe: Oh yes.
Chiroay Toraah: Two mammals are unique to Oregon - the Camas pocket gopher and the Ashland shrew. <.<
Chiroay Toraah: We're COOLER.
Chiroay Toraah: ...I don't even know where Camas is. xD
RemusLycanthe: o_o;
RemusLycanthe: But do you have a muffin?
RemusLycanthe: Nooooo.
RemusLycanthe: >>;
Chiroay Toraah: ;;
Chiroay Toraah: Screw the muffin. We've got Matt Groening!
RemusLycanthe: We have Michael Jordan, woosh.
Chiroay Toraah: Oh pssh.
Chiroay Toraah: TV is America's pasttime, yehknow. So that automatically makes us cooler.
RemusLycanthe: And Walt Whitman
RemusLycanthe: And Normal Rockwell
RemusLycanthe: *Normal
Chiroay Toraah: Yeahwell...

RemusLycanthe: And FDR
