What is the Greatest State / Worst State

[celedhring]

Worst State: Extremadura; like Andalucía (hot, poor and dry) but without the good things of Andalucía (culture, night life and wine).

They do wonders with pork there, though.

I think that's a common trait of Iberian peoples though, nobody beats us at making all sorts of delicious stuff out of pork.

And in Extremadura they excel at that, so automatically they can't be the worst. Castilla la Mancha, though...

I admit it was a close call between Extremadura and La Mancha, but I love Toledo; few things in life not involving sex beat getting terminally drunk among those medieval walls.

Have you tried getting terminally drunk in Cáceres?

No, I've only been in Mérida. Wasn't impressed by the night life.

I'd like to hear a little more about annoying Catalans.  Annoying how?

Rich, cheap and they secretly think they're better than you. That's the stereotype.

I was there as a kid and my only memory is the inhumanly atrocious summer heat.

I guess in the same way Canadians might find Québécois bitchy and annoying.

Preved Medved, the inferior 49 can suck California cock.

California has shitty taxes and people there are flakes.

[Valmy]

It is a land of fruits and nuts.

And it has beaches that are freezing cold in July in Northern California.  Brrrrr

Don't confuse LA and SF with the rest of California. Most of it is your kind of people.

Greatest state- Georgia.
Worst state- New Mexico. Though the western half of Texas is probably worse. Actually, the Dakotas are probably even worse than that but I've never been there.

Mississippi may be pretty dingy and poor, but at least it's green.

You kicked out your Jews so you had to make your own.

My theory about Jewish assimilation in the US is that the turning point came when they realized the importance of tipping.

You realize that I'm about the only other person on this forum who ever sticks up for North Dakota, right?

Well see if I ever do it again.

I liked New Mexico each time I visited.  Local food is good (if you like green chilis, which I do).  Landscape is pretty cool and I lucked out with the weather being pleasant.  People get a little weird/creepy out in the small towns but they mind their own business.

Well they are people in small towns.
