I wish they all could be San Gabriel Girls those "states" that once had coast and lost it will be pissed!
Like you don't know that it's become a swinger's retreat! My favorite take on dividing Cali was "California should be divided into two states: Northern California with the capital at Sacramento, and Southern California, with the capital at Disneyland." http://www.thebesteleven.com/2009/09/brazilians-on-20092010-uefa-champions.html
Bullshit. No way in hell I'd allow Milwaukee and Madison to get lumped in with Chicago. FIBS are always trying to engineer a way to get New Glarus distributed into Illinois. ******** that. Bump the Superior border down to, say, just north of Racine, and I think we'd have a deal.
Well, my alma mater turns into Northern Osage University. Curious as to what becomes of Nebraska, Kansas, and Kansas State out there in Platte. Hard to tell who is going to be Superior U between the Badgers and the Gophers, too.
I totally agree to this one! Though it would piss off the idiots in Waukesha county and other Milwaukee suburbs majorly. That would be interesting.
Sorry apparently I should have been specific, about one of the new 38 states, which would produce the best soccer players....
Take your lake effect and get the f*ck out, and take the cheap Indian smokes with ya. We keep the Adirondacks.
I see that you're worried about Sveum bringing Prince Fielder with him down to the Friendly Confines.
I wouldn't worry; I think Ricketts spent all of his money buying the team, there is nothing left for star players until the contracts of the current flops run off.
Too f'n bad. Well take the best part (Id like it to go west to the river...) All the rest can just stay in Packerstan.
Packerstan would pick up Bachmann's congressional district, which is a good fit for Packers fans. It all makes sense.
That's what you think-the treehuggers will turn Bluelinia into an autonomous republic ruled by Bambi. The deer, not the stripper.
Good stuff. San Gabriel will be happy - LA getting more control of the Colorado River. Colorado, parts of Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas being named San Luis. Alabama's borders didn't change much. Memphis having to deal with the rest of Tennessee is bad enough. But now they lumped it in with part of Mississippi and most of Arkansas is shit. That going from bad to worse.
Interesting to fantasize about, but really -- what problems would this solve? None, as far as I can tell. Elected officials will still be tossers who need a good kick in the nuts. If we want to fantasize about something useful that will never happen, it should be introducing promotion/relegation into U.S. professional sports.
True. Then you could sell SoCal to Mexico and solve the immigration problem and pay off California's unfunded public pension obligations in one fell swoop!
Billy Joel is a great songwriter who'd be much more respected if he hadn't tried to write about NYC in his early work like it was the lone prai-rie or something. Springsteen, OTOH, sits waaaay behind Seger and Mellencamp and just a bit behind Jackson Browne.
We Las Vegans don't want SoCal. Has there ever been a civil war between two states trying to give up land?
If we're going to fantasize correctly, let's see the El Dorado Earthquakes send David Beckham and the San Gabriel Galaxy to the B division!
