I thought California's state motto was:

BOHICA

Recently changed to "Illinois, we give up! Now PLEASE stop sending your Nerds, Slackers, & Communists here!"

The new one is:
"Colorado, it's all downhill from here."

How ironic, if convict's make tags/plates in NH.."live free or die".[:|]

> How ironic, if convict's make tags/plates in NH.."live free or die".

Well, that's easily solved...now where did I leave that electric chair?

Having been a resident of California, Hawaii, Colorado, and now Minnesota, I can attest that those are all completely accurate...

But there is talks about making Minnesota's into "Yeah, you betcha, our governor can kick the patoot out of your governor!"

Massachusetts: We have Ted Kennedy and Cardinal Law: lock up the women and small boys.

As a former resident of NH (5 years), I can assure you that their motto is "Live, Freeze, and Die."

I thought Colorado's motto was "Okay, you've seen our mountains, now go the f#&k home!"

Or maybe that's the unofficial motto. [;)]

Missouri:

'North?  South?  We still haven't decided...'

'Hey, at least we're not Arkansas...'

I thought it was-

Washington: If we meant D.C., we woulda said D.C., damnit!!!!

I thought it was "The new California without all the bans"

You forgot the " ...yet." on the end.

[b]Delaware: We Really Do Like The Chemicals In Our Water [/b]

That is the old one.  Its been replaced by "Delaware: A wholly-owned subsidiary of the DuPont Company, brought to you in part by a joint-venture of ICI America and Astra-Zeneca, with financing provided by MBNA America."
