Speaking of Commonwealths...

[Longgrain]

Poll question: Speaking of Commonwealths...

Which no one was doing...Which of the four is the best!

And explain WHY! Give me reasons here...

[WindRavenX]

1. MA, of course

Because our gay and lesbian friends can actually marry- which rocks my socks!
And speaking of socks...they can all rot in hell (the Sox, not the socks)

[Longgrain]

3. Yahr!

Cradle of the Revolution!

[WindRavenX]

5. word up

And home of the most Dunkin' Donuts in the freakin' world.
BTW, I do love me some Dunkin' Donuts coffee...mmmmmm

[Longgrain]

7. Krispy Kreme can go to hell

Dunkin' Donuts Rule!

Best coffee, best donuts, best (in the day) commercials...

:Time to make the Donuts:

[Left Is Write]

18. Sadly, we have no Dunkin Donuts.

Once I discovered that Krispy Kreme has cake donuts too, not just yeast ones, I was happy.

Donuts are pretty rare treat for me, though. But KK has good coffee. Maybe not as good as DD coffee, but good.

13. I hear that!

After I moved to Colorado from Mass. I watched Good Will Hunting over and over just to see Ben Affleck slouch around with DD coffee.

I've seen 3 DDs out here, and every single one of them makes the worst coffee and sells stale donuts. The closest one is 40 minutes away.

In Mass. I lived in the tiniest town ever ad we had 2 DDs, one on either side of Main St. Then one right over the town line in 3 out of 4 directions. *sigh*

[WindRavenX]

15. plus...

MA is tied with NJ for the best accent.
I have both :evilgrin:

[paineinthearse]

20. MassaBLUEsetts!

1. Constitution predates and is in many ways is superior to the US Constitution.
2. First state to outlaw slavery.
3. First state to have free public schools.
4. First blood shed in the Revolution (Boston Massacre).
5. First battle of the Revolutionary War (Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775).
6. Fine institutions of higher education.
7. 100% Dem Congressional delegation (10 Reps & 2 Senators).
8. Patriots Super Bowl Champs 3 out of last 4 years.
9. Red Sox (despite Schilling (and his blood sock) shilling for *) World Series Champs.
10. And last but not least, home of the legitimate 44th President of the US (but the 43 stole the results).

2. The British Commonwealth, nt

[koneko]

4. MA

[PittPoliSci]

6. PA!!!!!!

[clydefrand]

8. VA of course!

2. First PERMANENT English settlement in this country. (Without us, we would be TEMPORARY!!)

3. Home of Virginia Tech's Hokies!!

5. Home of Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive

6. And we have a Democrat for a Governor

7. And last but not least! WE DON'T ALLOW BAGGY BRITCHES WITH UNDERWEAR SHOWING!!! Actually, that legislation was killed in the state senate. Seems we had withstood enough embarrassment to last a while other than having Jim Gilmore and George Allen as governors...that will last a lifetime.

[Longgrain]

9. Than why do I still see only one vote for VA

:P

[Sympleesmshn]

16. I concur

[FuzzySlippers]

10. I hate all freakin' commonwealths equally!

[Longgrain]

11. Jealous because your from a STATE?

States are so bland...

Us Commonwealthers have something in common...:smoke:

[CubsFan1982]

12. Massachusetts

Cause where would we be if it weren't for those wine-sipping, tax and spend, gay-marrying limousine liberals who hate America raising all that trouble back in 1776?

[Dookus]

14. Pennsylvania

Virginia and Kentucky seceded, so screw 'em. And Massachusetts has been all kleebed up.

[FuzzySlippers]

17. Huh?

Kleeb's not from Massachusetts.

[Dookus]

21. he's not?

oh well, then MA is OK by me. My mistake.

[CubsFan1982]

19. Wha?

Kentucky didn't secede.

[Dookus]

22. you're right

they almost did, but the feds rounded up all their secessionist leaders and imprisoned them, along with Missouri and Maryland. But Missouri and Kentucky have stars on the confederate battle flag.

But you're right, they didn't secede Damn, two mistakes in one short post. sigh....

[yellowdogintexas]

23. Kentucky did not secede, but three or four counties did try to

secede from Kentucky and join the Confederacy...

tales of the truly weird

well, I put Kentucky because I am from there and I feel a certain loyalty and we have had our share of Democratic governors, senators,
etc.

And it is a very pretty place.

but Massachusetts rocks, and I did live there for a while.
