Prompted by Anna's post in the "Bleakest State" thread: Now I'm a lot older than our girl, so it makes sense. I don't know if I'd been to six states when I was her age. Still... LET THE DICK MEASURING BEGIN!!! I have been to 38 states.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... I am, right now in three different states of mind at the same time. Maybe.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... I've been to three outside of my own!!! (So far I have the title for LEAST amount of states visited!!)
Re: I crap bigger'n you... Where you at,ymbr? That's another thing Anna has against her--she's smack dab in the middle of California, right on the coast. She could drive all day to the South and hit--nothing because all that is South of Cali is Mexico. She could drive the better part of a day and get into Oregon--but be miles from any towns or anything. Or she could drive for...a half a day? More? And get to...Reno, Nevada. If you live in, say, New Jersey, you could hop in your car and in a day of driving you could probably visit 10 states.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (For the record, I don't count airports.) I've been at airports in Maine and Texas, but since I never left the airport, I don't consider having been there. My visit to Georgia consisted of driving up the highway from Florida to the first truck stop in Georgia, getting out of the car, getting gas, and turning around. If I'd have paid attention to the map I could've banged out South Carolina then too. But I didn't, so I hung a left and headed for Alobama instead. So since I've already been to North Carolina (indeed, within about 10 miles of SC), I'll need to make a special trip sometime.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... I've now been in fifty . . . seven states? I think one left to go. One left to go.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... 13 if my count is correct. So many tiny little hard to miss states on the east coast.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... I was at 37 states when I was 20. Now I'm at 38. I haven't added anything new in quite a while but I do hit a lot of the old ones over and over again. My question to Anna is, how can you possibly not be sure if you've been to 6 states... that "about" in there implies some level of uncertainty. I can't imagine being uncertain of a number less than at least 25.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... I've been to all of them except Alaska, so it's 49. Plus I've lived in 10 of them. But then I'm an old fuck and someone is always tracking me down.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... :arizona: (of course) :california: :nevada: :washington: :utah: :newmexico: :illinois: :colorado: :texas: :florida: :newjersey:
Re: I crap bigger'n you... Lessee...all states except California Oregon Washington Kansas Colorado North Dakota South Dakota Minnesota Wisconsin Alaska Hawaii Just missed Colorado and Kansas by just a few miles each. But I have heard 39 states on AM radio from here in Delaware.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... California Oregon Nevada Arizona New Mexico Utah Colorado Kansas Illinois Missouri Arkansas Oklahoma Texas Tennessee Ohio Florida Georgia South Carolina North Carolina Virginia Maryland Delaware Pennsylvania New York Connecticut Rhode Island Massachusetts 27! More than half! Secondary dick measuring: How many continents? North America Europe Asia Australia South America and Africa will happen sooner or later (gotta see Machu Pichu and the Pyramids, after all), but Antarctica's gonna be a tough one... P.S. - edited the thread title to include the topic so as to keep others from skipping the thread for fear of it being copromatic. Edit: D'oh! Forgot I was in Tennessee in '91!
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) North America, and Asia three times: Kuwait/Iraq, Korea, Thailand. On the way to Kuwait we stopped in Germany, but never left the airport, so I don't count that, and same thing with Japan on the way to Korea and Thailand, although I actually rode in an airport shuttle in Japan. Wait. Japan isn't technically a continent, is it.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) ^I'll give you credit for Europe if you stepped off the plane.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) Alabama Arizona NM Texas Louisianna Mississippi Tennesee Florida Georgia Virginia South and North Carolina Maryland Lucky 13 Just Europe, but two countries. And the Azores but I can't remember what country they technically belong to.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) Lets see New York New Jersey Rhode Island Connecticut Massachusetts Pennsylvania Delaware Maryland Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Florida Wisconsin Kentucky Tennessee Illinois Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Texas New Mexico Nevada California Colorado Utah So I have been to over half of the states I changed planes at Heathrow and have been to Austria and Slovakia. Also been to Mexico (Juarez) and Panama.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) 0 for me as I have yet to visit the US. Maybe someday.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) Thanks. I know they're pretty close to Portugal but, like I said, couldn't remember who they "belong" to. Kind of a pretty place, somewhere flat, but we didn't really get to see much of it.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) 47. I haven't been to Washington, Hawaii, or Alaska. I plan on hitting all of those up at some point. As far as continents: Europe(Ireland is beautiful!). I plan on visiting as many as I can in the near future.
Re: I crap bigger'n you... (How Many State Ya Been To?) I have been to all states except for MA, Vermont and Alaska.
