After Prince’s passing, Minnesota literally has nothing to be proud of. Maybe the Vikings are ok right now but they will suck again soon. And the people there are probably miserable. You can’t possibly be happy in the cold like that. OK, we take that back.
Marshall Eriksen from “How I Met Your Mother” is everything we would come to expect from the people of Minnesota. Salt of the Earth, really friendly, loyal, and enthusiastic about everything. Even though, let’s face it, there really isn’t that much to be excited about in life. God, Marshall! Why can’t you just chill out for once?
Missouri
Now, we have never quite seen a theme park like this one! Nestled in the heart of Missouri is a majestic place that has a name that we are not sure is a well thought-out pun or just an unfortunate mistake. Of course, we are talking about the Uranus Open Factory, which this person took a photo of while driving through one of the state's many towns.
One thing is for sure. The people of Missouri know how to have fun and not take themselves too seriously. You could even go as far as saying that these warm people are pretty cheeky when it comes to their wordplay! But what kind of rides or amusements do they have in this place? Are they planet-themed? Or something else entirely?
Mississippi
Let’s just say that people in Mississippi are not so bright. They still haven’t realized that they lost the civil war over 150 years ago. That’s just sad. Hey, you rebels - what are you going to rebel against? Education or hygiene? At the University Ole Miss, there’s only one thing worth majoring in - and that's beer.
But maybe the thing we love most about Mississippi is the fact that the Mississippi River doesn't run exclusively through its state of the same name. You can go through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana via this body of water. And that's pretty awesome.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts was the first state to take the plunge and legalize same-sex marriage back in 2004. And while the LGBTQ community is still struggling until this day for their rights, Bostonians and everyone else in stayed has been enjoying this change in law the longest.
But we have a serious question: Couldn’t they have, at the same time, decided to make those horrible accents illegal? Seriously, it would make the world a better place. And would it get rid of those horrible Ben Affleck or Mark Wahlberg impersonators? But with all of that said, "The Town" is a pretty good movie. Not as good as "The Departed" though.
Maryland
Maryland offers up some pretty delicious seafood and shellfish. But if you don’t want to get crabs, you better watch what you say in this crab-loving state. And if you don’t want to try their crab cake you will have problems because their state motto is literally “try the crab cake or get the heck out.”
OK, the state motto is actually "Strong Deeds, Gentle Words." And this sign really hits that message home. At the very least, get some crab cakes while you're in town, go back to your hotel and eat them while watching some of "The Wire."
