I've lived around the States, from Trenton to The Bay
(Category: True Stories )

I guess I've been around a bit. This map shows the states that I've actually lived in. It's supposed to be a "visited" map but that just turns most of it red for me. If you're curious about what states I've visited just figure every state that touches one of these and that'll be pretty close.



create your own visited states map
or write about it on the open travel guide

(Hat tip to Susie)

POINTS: 2 points for the first person to name the inspiration for this post title. No searching please, you naughty little monkeys.

UPDATE: Lovely Wife's visited states and visited countries are in the extended entry. Wow, she really gets around, doesn't she?

Babe, you need to get out more. I mean-you haven't even been to Texas! I thought EVERYONE had been to Texas!

No, that's "Everyone had a Texan". ;-)

Texas is too big. I like smaller states where I can touch the walls for that comfy secure feeling.

I got the answer, but I was a dirty monkey. (and I'm honest about it!) I seriously doubt that anyone's gonna get that...

All "Family Guy" references aside, didn't MC Hammer bust that rhyme in "U Can't Touch This"?

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

That's the one, Mike.

I've been around the world, from London to the Bay

See, Clancy? I had faith that there were other old farts out there that rocked out to Hammer back in the day. Not that we're proud of that fact now, of course.

Now why are there points for this "inspiration" but not points for the Peter Finch one? Huh? Huh? That's the whole point, isn't it? You change the words a little but still have a recognizable source?

Susie, Susie, Susie...dear, sweet Susie...

It was my fault. Totally and completely. I just totally dropped the ball on that one. I don't know why, but it just didn't click as a point source when I was writing that post. It happens sometimes, what with the state of the free world in my hands and all I just get so busy sometimes.

I can't contaminate the Snooze Points by awarding them without having offered. Therein lies chaos! But I can try to put that smile back on your face. I'll give you all of the Cheesy points that I've accumulated from LeeAnn. There are three over here and a couple others somewhere else that I can't find 'cause the search isn't working. All for you.

(I wonder if I just established relative value between Snooze Points and Cheesy Points. Hmmm... 2 to 5 isn't so bad.)

Posted by: Jim at January 29, 2004 01:10 PM

Hmmm..does LeeAnn know about this? cuz the last thing we want to do is tick off The Cheese...that would be a Bad Thing™

Posted by: Susie at January 29, 2004 01:24 PM

I'll check on that, Susie. If not, I'll have to try to smuggle them to you through the cheese underground.

Posted by: Jim at January 29, 2004 02:18 PM

It's official. I just got confirmation from LeeAnn. The Cheesy Points are yours, Susie.

And there was much rejoicing.

(And no, you don't get points for sourcing that one.)

I learned two things from mapping out states and countries I've visited.

One, I've been to almost all the US (76%) and not very much of the rest of the world (a measly six countries from the list but two of my countries weren't listed under anything I knew them as).

He's right, Susie, he cleared Cheesy Transference with me first. :)
I should be freer with the Cheesy points. This is probably why I wasn't that popular in high school.

Posted by: LeeAnn at January 29, 2004 07:37 PM

Not popular, LeeAnn? The mens' room wall disagrees.

Posted by: Jim at January 29, 2004 07:40 PM

Well, as long as LeeAnn approves: Thanks, Jim!
