Do you ever forget certain states exist?

The other day, someone on TV was from Delaware, and it was like "Oh, yeah, that is a state, huh?" I sometimes forget other states like New Hampshire are as well.



Anyone else find some states so useless they forget they even exist unless reminded?
 
maine. i've never met anyone from maine and i've visited most of the other important states, from florida to georgia. i've never heard of this "maine" that they speak of on the united states maps created by the government's liberal agenda. "maine" sounds like some canadian socialist faggotry.

also the south will rise again.
 
I thought about Indiana the other day for the first time in a long time. I was like hm... I don't think I'll ever have a reason to go there.
 
Sometimes they just kinda blend together 'cos it's like over 9000 miles of Shitsplat, Nowhere with some cows.
 
yes unfortunately like the whole mid-west. no offense mid westerners.

i tried filling out a blank map of all the states the other day for fun and i mixed up Wyoming with Kansas and completely forgot about Arkansas, Iowa and Nebraska.

Shit if it weren't for Kansas (KU) basketball and March Madness right now I'd have probably forgot Kansas was a state all together.

i dont think anyone from NY could point out Arkansas or Iowa on a map if we got paid to.
 
Yeah a few states come to mind when I try to think of ones I've completely forgotten about or never hear of...

Nebraska
North/South Dakota
Rhode Island
 
I went to rehab in South Dakota, so I will never forget that one.


I think that if I didn't live in Illinois I might forget about it as well.
 
Maine and Massachussets are the same thing to me. Then there are the states that I can tell between the abbreviations.
Minnesota seems like a city to me, not a state.
 
ahhh Americans ....

Maybe Idaho. It's not too small of a state but i never hear about it . Apart from once a few days ago but that's about it lol .
I guess nothing much happens in potato growing country lol
 
I don't know about forgetting states, but North and South Dakota just seem like the same thing to me. Same with Arizona and New Mexico...I know I'll get some heat for that one.

Throughout the south its pretty easy to tell what state you're in, I drove down to North Carolina the other day and you can tell you're out of Virginia (or South Carolina, for that matter) just by the accents.

Midwest accents all sound the same to me.

Yea.....

.....Illinois.

Geography has always been interesting/fun for me.

i pride myself on being able to identify all the states and a good amount of the worlds countries. i can also name to you just about any states capitol.

ah....the shit kids end up remembering from elementary school

im from maine and it kicks ass (and i wouldnt say that unless i actually thought it). its weird cause im in arizona right now (aside from the great outdoor activities htis state blows (fuck you republicans) and ive met like 15 people from maine. anyway, i could only dream of being born in canada, all the good things from america and not near as much of the bullshit.

also, @TB if youve ever been to maine and mass, you would see that it is hugely different, there is a reason people call them mass-holes.

I remember finding this magnet puzzle as a kid. It was dual sided and contained a map of the US on one side and a blank silhouette on the other, the goal being to learn the geography from the complete map side and then replicate it on your own. Fun times :)
 
long time ago when i was still in school and waiting tables in south florida, a lady w/ a long island accent said, "you don't have a southern accent. where are you from?"
i said "vermont" and she said "oohhhh my, how do you like the united states?"

^ Hahaha. The irony is that Vermont did used to be its own country, and apparently many there are in support of making it one once more. (But if you're from there, I doubt I need to tell you that.) It's one of the few states that really does feel like a different country to me. Whenever I cross the New York - Vermont border, in either direction and at any point, the change in scenery is abrupt and noticeable. The drive from Bennington to Troy is a particularly striking demographic and cultural contrast.

I remember hearing about Oregon when I was a little kid, and assuming it was a country in Latin America.

yes, bennington county is very different from the neighboring new york counties. i grew up in that area and knew it very well but i've been gone since '79. it's changed a whole lot since then.
vermont has always been a kinda unique place and i'm glad to have roots there.

Haha, so true. I used to live in Burlington. As soon as you hop on 22A from 4 it's like the season changed or something. Weird.

I forget Oklahoma exists a lot, the last I heard about it was that some dude bombed it. And then I heard about it years later when the guy was killed I believe. Now it's back to lurking above Texas...

PS. I don't know what it is about VT, but it's stolen a piece of my heart.

Burlington VT ftw!
