Wyoming, we're known for...well nothing, half the people in the US thinks it's part of Texas or Asia.
I thought I was the only one on the escapist from this antelope ridden hell hole.

California, the Sunshine State.

...and no, I am not in the habit of wearing daisy dukes, bikinis on top.

I will not melt your popsicle.

This *will* be painful.

I'm from Michigan, that state that looks like a mitten. We're known for inventing the car and for the city of Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten.

Where in Washington are you? I'm all the way down in Camas which is on the Washington Oregon border. I don't know if you heard of us but our high school football team is ranked number two in the state... sadly I graduated last year so I don't get to share in the glory.

Massachusetts, where the spirit of colonial America is emphasized, so they say.
I myself, hail from the area of Massachusetts better known as "Goddamn nowhere".
So Granby? Or worse, a place in the Berkshires? I live in "Goddamn nowhere", Massachusetts as well.
The town I come from coined the term "Hooker". And I went to Hooker school when I grew up, and our town flag has a hooker on it.

This is a very simple question, What state/providence/country are you from? And to add discussion what do you think your states is best know for.

I myself am from Washington State, Southwest Washington to be precise I'm pretty sure Washington is known for apples and the Space Needle. Also we are known for rain, lots and lots of rain.

Because people are bitching about it I'll also include other countries. I was thinking that the majority of people on at the time would be Americans so I just used states. As far as from goes I was thinking where you lived most of your life.
Also from the State with the highest suicide rate... but I like the cold though.

Well, I live in Ontario, but I was born in Victoria, British Columbia.
[sub]In case you don't know yet, the country that I live in is Canada...[/sub]

I don't really know what Ontario is known for...
I also don't know what British Columbia is know for...

[sub]I don't know anything![/sub]
Well, depends where you are. Southern Ontario is known for Toronto and the automotive industry. Northern Ontario is known for not-Toronto and black flies.

Anyways, I'm from Ontario. Which is in Canada. Which is on the Earth. Which is in Canada.

Hey fellow Washingtonian, I live in southwest Washington too. Longview to be exact, and yes, it is raining right now.
Ewww Longview. Nah a lot of my family lives there so I can't dislike it too much. Camas is where it's at BTW.
There's not much to do in Longview, but that is kinda offset by having a large group of good friends. So "ewww Longview" isn't too far off.
Camas doesn't have much to do but we are also right next to Vancouver so we have that... did you go to R.A Long or Mark Morris?
Not fair, we are just next to Kelso, which has even less to do. And I went to R.A. Long to answer your question.

I kinda consider myself a three state person. I was born and currently live In Oregon, famous for Crater Lake, Smith and Haystack Rock. But i used to live in Nebraska and then Wyoming, Nebraska is famous for Corn, Beef, and a college football team who has fans that travel well enough that almost every game feels like a home game. Wyoming is famous for haveing most of Yellowstone National Park (there are bits of the park that are in Idaho and Montana) having only half a million people in the whole state at any given time with 1/5 of them being tourists on their way through the state or going to Yellowstone, and the messing with the aforementioned tourists.
