  Name it New Washington so theres even more ambiguity when someone refers to something happening in Washington.

    Or “Bay Area” so people can wonder if the speaker means San Francisco, Tampa, Chesapeake, etc.

    Can we call it the Tri-State so every “Tri-State area” has no hope?

  It has a name: “you pee”. They just leave ir off of most maps because it is considered nsfw.

    U.P. is a reference the great Joycean work, Ulysses. Dennis Breen receives a postcard with just those letters. It excites his madness. Perhaps it is a reference to in ability to satisfy his wife in husbandly manner. Perhaps it’s a reference to You urinate, You’re no good, You put your fingers up your anus, and You can’t get it up any more. Or simply, a reference to Ulysses and Penelope. IOU.

  The fact that Michigan gets Isle Royale too boils my blood as a Minnesotan.

  Wisconsin should launch a special military operation on Michigan to take that land as it has ethnic Wisconsinites there.

  Man, it looks like sheer laziness that they can fit “Kentucky” into its state, but “Alabama” gets a pointer line. You’re telling me that you can’t do the exact same thing you did with “Georgia” there?

  • TheRtRevKaiser@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Even the label doesn’t want to go to Alabama.
