the state of gooses
question number 1: what is this picture?
question number 2: what is this picuture?
for those of you who answered to #1: a gander (male goose), very good!!
for those of you who answered to #2: i'ts Edsel, right again, very good!!
i don't think that was too difficult. was it?? but, for some reason, someone called me a gander today. a michigander, to be more specific. now. my Mom explained to me that when you live in this stupid mitten state, that's what you're called. but why????? it's just so embarassing! if you live in alabama are you a alabamagander? if you live in oklahoma are you an oklahomagander?? minnesotagander?? new mexicogander??? NO! why do i have to live in a stupid state where i have to get confused with a male GOOSE? i tell you, first chance i get i'm movin' to some simple state that just puts an "n" on the end... like alaska.

Don't know about all the gander stuff Edsel may man, but those rocks you are lounging on sure look great. Feels good to get outside again doesn't it. -Shaggy
I think the only state that has 'ganders' is Michigan. Cuz of the GAN at the end of the name.
Edsel, I'm proud to be a Michigander!
I would like to think that the male goose was named after we Michiganders--not the other way around. We are the trendsetters with which ganders are confused, not the other way around.
Well...at least no one called you a silly goose. I think that would be worse, especially if it was your mom doing it.
You can come live with us. Cept we're Vir-gingerans. And I'm not ginger and neither is Boni. And we might get confused with Derby's silent buddy. Hmmms. Maybe we need to move somewhere too?
PS. You don't look at all like a male goose, Edsel.
Edsel, you can be an honorary Texan!

Honk Honk!!
Oops your not a goose Edsel. Your not a goose at all, your a handsome poddin! Those rocks your scritchin' on look like good spots to get to just the right spot too. Pretty day. Lots of sunbeams.
I like sunbeams.

At least it's only your state. I hear a whole country is named after the Canada goose. How'd you like to live in a state with -ite at the end? DOesn't -ite make things smaller? So Whiskonsin-ites are smaller than efurryone else?
What are folks from Oregon called?
Would you rather be a badger? At least they hafe fur instead of feathers.
victor - no, i don't think ites are smaller... i think oregon calls them oreganians
bonnie - i would rather be a kitty. but if i couldn't be a kitty, i'd be a fox - ohh, aren't i a fox already???? (geesh, i'm sounding like kukka....)
Mama and me are Minnesotans. You can move here!
you could move to Poiland and be called a Haole...trans: anyone from the mailand ~Merlin, Shadow, Ko Ko
Such contemplative creatures you all are. You never cease to amaze me.
Are you sure it's not ner? Like out-of-towner, maybe it's Michiganer? Maybe?
I always laugh at the vilian use. Like civilian, but instead like Harrisonvilian. I guess Bostonian is a little similar.
I like "being" lots of things, but I mostly like just being a Cowboy. I guess a Cowboyite? Or Cowboygander? Hmmmm?
We don't have states, we have counties in the UK. So my mum is Cornish (from Cornwall) and my dad is a Devonian (from Devon). I asked my mum what I was and she said I was born on the London/Essex border, so I am either a London Cockney or an Essex boy.
You don't look at all like a male goose, Edsel! You're much, much more handsome. You can come here and be a Furginian. It's warmer here too. And I'm here! hehehehe
It doesn't matter, Edsel. We'd love you no matter what you were called. We're from Whisk-onsin, like Bonnie & Victor (Derby, too) so we're Whisk-onsinites.
The Crew
i guess we have another name here that's not so bad - Michiganians. i don't know why we have two options. i don't think other states have two???
Folks from Oregon are Oregonians...
We here in Idaho are Idahoans
And our neighbors are Washingtonians and Montanans, But what about the folks from Utah?
But, we are all from the USA!!!
he he Utah....i don't know what they are...Utahites sounds stupid..Utonians?? nah. Sheriff Jinky could you investigate??
Valdebar, are you sure?? Ontarioian just sounds wrong.
it could be worse. you could be an Idahohoan.
