Girlfriend of mine once remarked that she never wanted to live in a state that started with a vowel. My personal reaction: never say things like that where the gods can hear you -- they love a good laugh.
Is everybody breathing again at your place?

I did it, too, at my own blog, because I wanted to be cool like everyone else.

Uh, Kentucky and NC should be underlined.

with Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina and Ohio underlined
Over at Matt's, they're doing ALL CAPS in place of underlining.
ALL CAPS makes sense anyway, because those should be more prominent. And I don't need no stinkin' page to do the html.
Rules: Driving through a state counts as being there (I think in every case I actually have got out of the car); changing in an airport does not.

And what is this "via Matt" nonsense? Don't we remember that this was the exact same thing PG used to show what states she'd had sex in?

Oh, see, I did overkill with those places I've lived in. Bold and all caps.
Alameida -- that trip reminds me of one I took on Greyhound, from South Texas to NYC when I was 16. No defectors, but after the first night spent on the bus, I ate the greatest meal I've ever had before or since -- a bus station Croissan'wich from Burger King. Context really is everything.

Hey -- I didn't *just* do it about sex. I started with the where I've lived one. The sex bit just seemed more interesting. Or something.
But hey, Pgrrrrl, Matt was trying to give you credit for originating the meme.
How was your trip? Did you bring me anything?
Sent you and PK postcards, b. From what I've told, with Italian mail and all, you should receive by 2007.
I'd have brought you home a hot Italian boyfriend, but frankly I wasn't all that impressed. Guess I'll have to stick to my American boyfriends for a while ... (where the fuck are they?)
That's ok, I've got more men than I really need right now. And Italians are pretty and all, but my ethnic fetishes tend in other directions. I sure appreciate the thought, though ;)

Indeedy (and the sex one was the only one I read, and I think the one that was linked around here).
I was also working off a little hostility over the fact that when Ogged says "Matt" he means Yglesias.
