Mr Scorpio says, "Virginia is the only state with a sexual reference" in its motto.

[Bucky]

Thus spake Scorpothustra: "Sex is pretty much a popular past time in Virginia. I imagine it's because it's the only state with a sexual reference"

In this thread, I propose that we discuss the inappropriate innuenda suggested by several state mottoes. Which state has the filthiest slogan? By the end of this thread, I imagine "Virginia is for Lovers" will appear to the tamest, or perhaps second tamest right behind "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas."

to begin... "Missouri: the Show Me State"

[Deep13]

1. "Thus be it ever to tyrants."

I thought that was the VA state motto.:shrug:

[AllegroRondo]

4. "Virginia is for Lovers" is the tourism campaign.

Wisonsin's was "Escape to Wisconsin"
we used to scratch off the middle letter on our bumper stickers.

[AllegroRondo]

2. Oregon: the Beaver State

need I say more?

[unpossibles]

3. California - Eureka!

or maybe New Yorks Excelsior! ("ever upward!")

[SteppingRazor]

5. N.H.'s Live Free or Die is actually a plea to remain unmarried as long as possible.

:popcorn:

[AllegroRondo]

6. Rhode Island: Love

and thats an order!

[cruadin]

16. Rhode Island's motto is "Hope", but it's state bird

is a cock.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Nah, other states with sexy official mottos:

California
Connecticut
Idaho
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maryland
Michigan
Especially Michigan
Minnesota (Latin motto)
New York
New Mexico (!)
Oregon
Seriously, Michigan

[Bucky]

9. OMG! Michigan for real!

They really put the spice in "Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam, circum spice"

I assume that's a locker room taunt to down pointing Florida.

[Bucky]

8. Texas: "Drive Friendly"

Actually, it takes a dirty mind to find that naughty.

[Mr. Blonde]

25. Of course there is the

Everything is bigger in Texas. Which only takes your average 13 year old boy's mind.

[SeattleGirl]

Washington: Alki

Alki is a Chinook Indian word meaning "bye and bye" or "hope for the future."

:shrug:

[trof]

10. Alabama: "Audemus jura nostra defendere"

We Dare Defend Our Rights

About what you'd expect from a former Confederate state.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Missouri is the "Show Me" state. That's pretty sexual. Wisconsin's "Forward"

could be misconstrued...

[DS1]

12. That's the tourist board's motto

Just like "Texas, like a whole other country" (((---- no shit

[racaulk]

13. Incidentally, the Yellow River is in China.

Just sayin...

[Withywindle]

14. Virginia is the only state...

...with a sexual reference in its NAME.

(well, West Virginia too, but it's not our fault they had no imagination.)

[Bucky]

17. Au contraire

Virginia's name is explicitly and uniquely anti-sexual. And while it's not a US state, it's probably worth noting that "Saskatchewan" comes from a phrase in the Nez Perce language meaning "expansive and odiferous vulva."

[Withywindle]

18. Well, it's all because of Queen Liz I having never married.

...referred to as the "the Virgin Queen" with a charming sort of deliberate naivete. :) We Virginians (I don't live there now, but still) get all uppity about our state being founded during William Shakespeare's lifetime.

Really? Saskatchewan just got a lot more amusing.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Maine--"Dirigo" ("I lead")

BDSM for the win?

[ironflange]

19. Alberta: Wild Rose Country

I'd like to meet Rose sometime. :evilgrin:

[ironflange]

20. I have a question re New York

Isn't it also known as the "Fuck You" state? Or is that just New York City?

[Bucky]

21. Yes, that's why they located the International House of Pancakes there

aka, the U.N.

[sarge43]

22. For your consideration

Idaho: Let it be perpetual

Maine: I direct

New Mexico: It grows as it goes

New York: Ever upward

[rug]

23. New York: "Higher!"

Excelsior

[Schema Thing]

24. Texas: Host to those Bush Fuckers

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. It's in California's very name

Cali = hot
forni = sex

hence California, land of hot sex.

[DJ MEW]

28. Man I need to get down to California

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[underpants]

27. Two pickets to Tittsburgh please

[flvegan]

29. What about (M)ASSachussetts?

In MA, it's all about getting the booty.
