yeah, I kind of assumed that it was one of the earlier broken links

Cool there's two Arkansans on there, but I don't get why they stuck Johnny Cash on Tennessee because he "began his recording career and lived in Memphis," when the same description would match Al Green. Or Elvis.

Such vast plains of no.

i like how the faces on NH and VT line up

2. Who the F are the Animal Collective? They don’t even have real names. There are better musicians from my home state of Maryland such as:
a. Tori Amos raised in Rockville, MD and a graduate of Richard Montgomery High.
b. O.A.R. formed at Thomas Sprigg Wooton High School in Rockville, Maryland.
c. Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, from Annapolis Maryland.
d. Frank Zappa, born and raised in Baltimore.
e. Goldie Hawn, from Takoma Park, Maryland.
3. You forgot Washington DC acts such as:
a. Henry Rollins
b. Bad Brains
c. Fugazi
d. Black Flag

I sat here for ten seconds wondering how the Beach Boys are bigger than the Eagles before saying you know what, I'm simply not going to do this.

I believe in Jewelaska

That just cant be accurate

Yuengling with a big foothold in Dixie??

No way.

Who drove the Yuengling car in last year's race at Talladega?

That map is such a load of shit. Were poll respondents only given 5 choices?

NOT BUYING IT

tho i assume that's based on draft beer purchases, in which case I kinda buy it.

i'd imagine its all beer purchases including drafts

"Data on behalf of Blowfish for Hangover by a private, third party research firm based on a study of 5,249 Americans who drink alcohol and are over the age of 21"

yeah that's a terrible study

God, I can't choke down Blue Moon.

woo yuengling

Reading what the No. 2 and 3 beers are per state is where this really starts looking flawed.

I live in a Bud Lite state where they say Blue Moon and Sam Adams are the runners-up. They aren't. It's Bud Lite, Miller Lite, Coors Lite. Every bar in this state has those three on tap while those other two you can only find at hoity-toity locations such as Applebee's.

haha

i like saying "y'all" but i've never gotten positive feedback when i've used it

so there is just one area of kentucky where people say 'you all'?

Born in the South, I say y'all too, but with a slight pause and half-click at the apostrophe.

all youse?

"youse guys" is also a favorite

I wish everyone said y'all, it really comes in handy.

i am also partial to "all y'all" and "all y'all motherfuckers"

i say y'all because "you guys" is a sorry sloppy substitute for a real second-person plural

really we should all be calling strangers and elders "y'all" by default, out of respect

i'm just a poser tho cuz i grew up saying "you guys" and the hawaiian pidgin variant "treeship guys" to mean "treeship, and people you'd expect to be hanging out with treeship". fallen out of using the latter but i kinda miss it

treeship kine

yinz, y'all

I swear there was a thread on here about how the above pose is supposed to be the United States of America, but I can't find it right this second.
