What state is the biggest mystery to you?
During the course of your Internet travels, you make the acquaintance of a nice person from Thailand named Santawanjanoop Parseethanawanapattapittyparwanathanasan. Santawanjanoop informs you that he/she (you don't know if Santawanjanoop is a male name or female name) is moving to the U.S. next year, and will be living in [insert state name here]. Santawanjanoop asks you for a brain dump of what it's like to live in [insert state name here].

What state would give you the most trouble?


For me, a couple of states stand out. Connecticut is probably the most mysterious state for me. I don't know much of anything about it, and can hardly even name cities in Connecticut. Is it urban, or is it just a bunch of New York suburbs? Connecticut is kind of a black hole for me.

Another state that is challenging on a different scale is California. I know a fair amount about the state, but I can never keep all of the second-tier cities straight. Where is Santa Monica compared to Santa Anna compared to Santa Rosa compare to Santa Rosita (if there is a Santa Rosita). That state has far too many cities that start with Santa.

The other mysterious state is Delaware. I still question whether it really exists, or if it's some mythical place like Shangri-La or Cibola or Puerto Rico.

Kansas could only be described as Nirvana; the state of perfect nothingness.

Delaware seems so underpopulated for an east coast state. Arkansas appears to have all the surrounding states encroaching on it. It looks like its struggling to avoid annexation.

I know this person. S/he is actually a hermaphrodite midget originally from the Punjab, but relocated to Thailand after seeing a stage production of The King and I. S/he is the correct pronoun. S/he recently asked me if anyone actually lives in the state of Delaware. I was stumped.

Edit: right after I posted this, I noticed that the Archie, the poster just above me, also mentioned the rather absent population of Delaware (I hadn't actually read the thread, only the first few entries on the first page, before I posted). How coincidental is that?

Hey, sorry about that. We were asleep. We're back now.

Speaking of weird borders, did you know that the only semi-circular state line in the US is here?

Always love a good mystery.

I'll say the state of Illinois, in the dining room, with the candle stick holder.

Almost. It was indeed the state of Illinois, but in a basement dungeon with a snuff film strangulation.

I guess you have not been up in the Northwest. It was sad to see millions of acres clear cut, that will never grow back. And they are fighting hard to open up Alaska to more drilling and lumber companies.

Like I said, I would like to see it, before it is ruined like many other parts of the North.

Now as for a state I can't understand: California, definitely, and it is entirely because of the people there.

Thanks for the neg rep Bush lover. I just saw a show on the damage the pipeline has done in Alaska. There is an ongoing fight over oil and timber rights. Try reading the paper next time, before you judge someone's opinion.

The enviromental damage I witnessed in the North West is just sickning. It will take 10 generations to be back to normal.

Dumbass is his natural state.

Why is wanting to see an amazing place like Alaska, before it is spoiled, being a dumbass??

Why don't you go up to Banff National Park in Alberta Canada- and see first hand-how a beautiful area can be ruined beyond repair.
