New Hampshire (it's in the news enough lately)
Vermont (New Hampshire's neighbor)
And I don't see Kentucky in your list, so maybe there's a dupe in there? Then again, I only got sleep in 45 min. chunks for the past 8 hours, so my eyes/brain aren't working so well this morning.

Oh Yes! THOSE bullshit states! Well, at least I can forgive myself for forgetting them. They're virtually meaningless.

Maybe because you forgot getting banned from the UVA basketball discussion board. ;)
You know, once you are done getting yourself banned from each ACC school's basketball discussion board, you should try getting banned from the basketball discussion boards for at least one school in each of the fifty states.

I believe only the presence of ILJ, LL, and Lavabe make Kentucky cool.

Didnt the Pres or Congress or someone in DC want to add Puerto Rico to be the 51st state? Isn't there a bill to pass that? Would that be beneficial to the United States?
EJ..... CAN you name the Capitals of the 50 states, also???????

This used to be a beer drinking game for us, so I remember most of them (I think). Maybe schools should adopt "beer drinking educational games" as a means to provide incintive to students?

The capital of Alabama is Montgomery.
The capital of Kentucky is Frankfort.
The capital of Maine is Augusta.
The capital of Maryland is Annapolis.
The capital of Michigan is Lansing.
The capital of Minnesota is St. Paul.
The capital of Missouri is Jefferson City.
I didn't correct your spelling; I was hoping
Wilson would surface.
I think you did well, EJ, except for the "M" states, which can be tricky.
