McSweeney's



Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency -- Jen plugged it in her blog previously, and I'm doing the same because it is hands down gut-busting funny. Below is one of their lists.

State Songs, If They All Suggested the Apathy of Idaho's "Here We Have Idaho."

BY CRAIG ROBERTSON

- - - -

Check It Out, Dude, I Think That's Florida

Well, If You Insist, Then I Guess I'll Take Indiana

Hey, Is That Oregon? Oh, My Mistake, It's Washington

Hey, Kentucky, How You Doin'?

Texas, Does This Mole Look Irregular to You?

I Was Only Born in Arizona, Then We Moved When I Was 2

No, This Is the Other Carolina, but It's an Honest Mistake

Please Pass the Salt, Wyoming

I Don't Even Know Why I Try With You, Arkansas

To Maine It May Concern

Do You Like Nevada? If So, Check This Box

What Are You Going to Do, It's Michigan, You Know?

Kansas Loves Its Zoloft

Utah: The State Version of a Polite Nod in the Office Hallway

Minnesota, Land of Minimum Expectations

The Collective Sigh of Florida

Another Day, Another Delaware

Well, Mom, "Here we Have Idaho" does not sound like the title of a song that would contain an enthusiastic endorsement of Idaho, or a song that would made Idaho-eons proud of their great state and cause them to get all misty-eyed - it just says "Here, we have Idaho."

So the OTHER (made up) song titles on the list try to evoke a similar apathy or lack of enthusiasm for the state in question:

"Well, if You Insist, Then I Guess I'll Take Indiana"

Do you get it now?
