We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

Has anyone said Mississippi yet? Yeah, the river's famous, but the state? It's kind of a joke for being number 49 or 50 in the union for, well, everything, but it's almost impossible to think of anything specifically in it or about it.

Racism. It's extremely famous worldwide for racism. And the river boats.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
The river boats? Also racist

Disagree pencilhands. i like reading little anecdotes from people. in fact, your only good posts imo are when you're doing just that, when you refrain from posting about your turds or what have you.

Something Maine is famous for: Bob Marley, world record holding comedian, also Italian sandwiches and dagwoods

None of these are famous, and meanwhile the actual Bob Marley lived in Delaware for a couple of years, which officially makes it the third least famous state in the Northeast, behind Connecticut and Maine.

Idaho is still the least famous, though.

The mid Atlantic lol cmon man

Also earlier in the thread someone mentioned packies but attributed it to new Hampshire and I wanted to set the record straight that it's a "Connecticut thing" that spread out

It's because Connecticut and Rhode Island were the only states to not ratify the 18th amendment that prohibited alcohol and so alcohol laws didn't get rewritten with updated language and still use the old timey terms from the early 1800s

For the record, those things are not what puts Maine on the "not completely unknown" map.

What does is: Stephen King, Lobster, Oceans/lighthouses, people talking funny, whoopie pies, A REAL Italian, potatoes and blueberries, Samantha Smith (she helped end the Cold War), that Angela Lansbury murder town, and our close and friendly relations with the good folks of Quebec, New Brunswick, and the Maritimes.

Yeah man, I said Italian sandwiches, also Dagwoods, and red snappers.

Hiram Maxim, the man that invented the machine gun and the silencer, was born in Sangerville. There used to be an annual machine gun shooting festival there for years.

Not friends, but friendly. They take over several areas of Maine in the summer, and we've come to accept it and work within the temporary Occupation.

When I was a teen all the forest workers and log truck drivers finally got sick of the French Canadians coming over and taking their jobs for less money so they blocked the border crossings in protest and wouldn't let the Canadians come over for awhile

People keep thinking the thread is “what state sucks the most” or “what state do I least want to live in”

The thread is least famous state. If it’s known for something even a not good thing it counts in its favor. If it’s known for it in a non-US country then it counts double imo.

Vermont has about as many people as the city of Boston. Not the Boston metro area, mind you, but the city proper. It's a wonder that there's anything there.

And over 1/4 of Vermont's population is concentrated in a single county.

That state has no Popeye's, no Arby's, I think one single 7-11? One Trader Joes that only opened a few years ago.

And yet...AND YET,

When they had to chose which Springfield, USA was going to host the premiere of The Simpsons Movie... Springfield, VT won.
