"With every form of perversion and immorality, Vermont leads the way."

[cali]

Heh. Freepers hate us. They really, really hate us. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to know my state is a thorn in the side of the wingnuts.

[long_green]

1. Translate that into Latin and ya'll have yourselves

a wonderful new state motto.

[tabasco]

9. Bwaaaahahahaha!! Here ya go! From online translator.

Per sulum vultus of perversion quod immorality Vermont plumbum via

Sounds like someplace I'd like!

[long_green]

12. Latin has no words for perversion and immorality?

Does that mean Tacitus and Suetonius were making shit up? OR does not having those words mean that they were really freaky? I mean if there are no perversions...

[Lexingtonian]

18. :-)

immoral, adj. pravus, improbus, corruptus
immorality n. s. mores mali, m. pl. turpitudo, improbitas f

perversion n. s. depravatio f

- The New College Latin & English Dictionary, (c) 1966

Personally, I prefer Ovid for refreshed ideas on these subjects. Then I go to Vermont.... :D

[long_green]

22. You actually go to Vermont?

(shudder!)
Vermont is a great word. It sounds like a suggestive adjective. "Don't go near him, he is vermont and always has been."

[cali]

14. OMG

That's just hysterical. Love it.

[Inland]

25. I'm wondering what the flag and the State Seal will look like. nt

[guinivere]

2. Your subject line would make a good ad

for the Vermont Tourism people.

[Inland]

29. "Virginia is for Lovers" did wonders for that state.

"Vermont is for Perverts" could be a winner.

[freethought]

34. Here's a few spins on that.

Vermont is for the virile. Vermont and Viagra go together.
Virginia, NOT for virgins.
Guess I'm not going to make a living thinking up slogans. Oh well.

[xchrom]

3. cool -- takes the heat off cali for a hot minute.

[cali]

5. Nah, they've got plenty of

hate and spite left over for the left coasters.

[xchrom]

7. word.

[immoderate]

4. It ain't braggin' if it's true.

--IMM:)

[LiberalPartisan]

6. Consider it a badge of honor...~S~

8. The Gospel Of No Name City

Paint Your Wagon
The Gospel Of No Name City

You wanna see sin of the wickedest kind?
Here it is!
You wanna see virtue left behind?
Here it is!
Sodom was vice
And visa-versa
You wanna say where the vice is worser?
Here it is!
I mean, here it is!

You wanna live life in the rottenest city?
Here it is!
Women and whiskey, night and day?
Here it is!
You wanna embrace the golden calf?
Ankle, and thigh, and upper half?
Here it is!
I mean, here it is!

No name city
No name city
The Lord don't like it here

No name city
No name city
Your reckoning day is near

No name city
No name city
Here's what he's gonna do

God love this town
And swallow it down
And goodbye to you

Will you go to heaven?
Will you go to hell?
Either repent, or fare thee well

God will take care of no name city
Comes the end, and it won't be pretty
Here it is!
I mean, here it is!

Here it is!
I mean, here it is!

Here it is!
I mean, here it is!
Amen!

10. So who wants them there anyhow.

Why don't they rocket themselves to another planet, eat shit and die.

[Jara sang]

11. I saw that on a bottle of maple syrup.

[mitchum]

28. BWAHAHAHAHA!

[NoPasaran]

13. Did Paris Hilton move to Burlington or something?

I guess I missed that!

[monktonman]

23. I wish

[Lexingtonian]

15. uh, link please?

But yes, Vermont is the high burg of perversion and immorality....phhhhhht hahahahahahaa!

When I drive, the way I know I'm in RedStatia is by all the highway billboards for porn shops, titty bars, liquor stores, gun stores, and sanctimonious cultschurches. And the wrecked and wretched way too many average people look. The way that there is no public space or public life and there's an undertone of suspicion and fear in what little there is. Reading the local newspapers...so much integrity and morality is usually going on that it's all euphemisms.

16. Burlington soon reduced to a pillar of salt...

...with a little Maple syrup for icing.

[Warpy]

17. VERMONT?

I can tell none of those idiots has been within 500 miles of Vermont if they're posting that kind of utter rubbish.

Vermont is the Switzerland of the east coast, stolid and wholesome. Vermont is mountains and dairy cows, mom and apple pie.

Just who the hell ARE these people?

[Lexingtonian]

19. good question

Just who the hell ARE these people?

My first guess is their aged parents keep them chained down in the cellar or the garage loft.

[monktonman]

24. you forgot really good weed

[Inland]

26. They were probably thinking of those sick fucks in New Hampshire.

Lots of us get the states confused.

[annabanana]

27. and really really good cheese!. . . eom

[Vinca]

20. Makes me proud to have been born there. nt

[Lorien]

30. Hasn't Vermont been among the top five best states

to live in (according to the Places Rated Almanac) for at least a decade now?

[MissB]

31. Yeah, but what is your divorce rate compared with the rest of the country?

;)

[sendero]

32. I thought that was..

... California :) In fact, I'm sure of it.

[shanti]

33. really....
