Hawaii needs to google the spelling of Hawaii ?

where to put the apostrophe in hawai'i

sweet chili sauce? I've never even had a desire to try it. Is it good? I am wrinkling my face.

is wonderful used as part of a stir-fry sauce. have also used it as a dipping sauce (when feeling too lazy to make nuoc chom) for vietnamese spring rolls to good effect

Why is Alabama shady as shit in everything they do?

Mookie Proof, sir.

So the formula is two movie tickets, two dinners and a bottle of wine.

I've never thought of that as "the formula" before.

Bottle of wine's gotta be cheaper than the popcorn and Cokes from the concession stand though.

Virginia Beach sucks, it's true

tx checks out

not familiar with maine but the rest of new england is otm

i can't figure out the reasoning behind the LA choice unless there was only one vote for that state

Would say maybe Minnetonka or Excelsior over Edina for MN, in that genre.

I spent a week in Edina one night, so I'm completely on board with that one.

Council Bluffs had to be a hard #2 behind Cedar Rapids.

How Jeff City can come out ahead of Branson, Ferguson or Raytown must really say something. (I've never had any problems there.)

Some people say my town is less than desirable due to the fact that on some nights, you can go outside in your yard and catch a big whiff of Pine Bluff.

And I don't know what the fuck Turkey Creek is, but the fact that Bastrop could top any of the cities I mentioned above shows you how rigged Louisiana's results must've been. Seriously. We used to take family trips to Monroe (which has to be in the Top 10) and Bastrop would wake me up, it smelled so bad. One of those gray towns where everything's made of aluminum and there's always the sound of a diesel engine rumbling in the distance.

Poolesville, MD isn’t bad at all

Spokane kind of rules, no way it’s the worst city in WA. The place everyone shat on was the Tri-Cities area so Richland, Pasco and Kennewick probably split the vote if you were using actual city names as qualifiers.

there's way, way worse places in oregon than salem. salem's actually a pretty okay town these days!

I'm still not crazy about their criteria for "private employers" there.

*Special note about Iowa, in which I've likely spent at least a good 100 hours in, covering every minute of the day, without having actually ever stopped for the night.

states in which you've ~banged~ or gtfo

(appreciate the county detail tho)

you gotta power straight through iowa

counties i've driven through but have not stopped at

Ha, I haven't even been to all the counties in Arkansas.

'counties i've been to' would be amazing

I've tried, but there's too much guesswork.

It does make for a pretty good argument against the electoral college, seeing the states you've been to vs the actual part of the states you've been to.

i was going to respond in earnest but i decided this map was created to get a rise out of me and ruin my morning so im going to rise above

i have to admit, i do love a good blueberry pie

sometimes geographic determinism feels so, so good

Not a single pumpkin pie, get that map outta here.

pumpkin pie is an atrocity with the appearance and consistency of baby shit

Ok but I have lived in Virginia for 40+ years and never seen a lemon pie served on Thanksgiving. 8 years in Missouri I saw exactly zero blueberry pies served on Thanksgiving. Blueberries are not even remotely seasonal, people!

The pies they are not talking about are pumpkin and apple (both seasonal and classic). Of those pies, only pecan pie belongs in a Thanksgiving tableau.

Fourth of July? Sure, bring your cherry, key lime, blueberry pies. They are appropriate then. But not Thanksgiving, sheesh.

savages

we don't eat Lemon pie in Florida.

pie is for throwing

Blueberries are not even remotely seasonal, people!

OK, but just go to the grocery store. They have food all year round.

gonna have to blow the midwest whistle on several of those states, i'm afraid.

indeed being a beach boy c. 1965 would seem to skew these findings
