So we have one of those state flags, state motto, state bird, state flower, state nickname placemats. But the problem is the nicknames.
You don't give yourself a nickname. You may want to be called Ace, Big Man, or Duke, but you are going to be called Captain Boring, Smeg-For-Brains, and Toilet-Brush Hair.
Texas, for example, isn't "The Lone Star State" it is "Teabagistan". Kansas isn't the "Sunflower State", it is "Flatter than a Pancake State"
Others?

I hate to quote Renob... actually, I'd hate to misquote him because he'll probably try to sue me or some shit, but I think he said something along the lines of:
Maine: Canada's version of Mexico.

I tend to have a similar nickname for Arkansas, "The 49th state - Still Better than Mississippi"
And I prefer you sig for AZ.
