New license plate slogans of the 50 states
Please have a sense of humor and help me with this list of tongue-in-cheek license plate slogans. There are no sacred cows here! I have slammed my own state! Does anyone have slogans which you like better? I can not think of a slogan for a few of the states.
with love,

I see you didn't have anything for North Carolina jor, I was thinking maybe: North Carolina, The Great Smoky State. It's amazing how many people still smoke here. ( I was born here, my grandfather had a tobbaco farm, I DON'T smoke.) I guess I slammed my own state too.

Thought I might throw this in; My grandmother didn't smoke (she dipped a little snuff!) and I'll never forget the time I remarked that Uncle Clifford sure did smoke alot and she said, "He don't smoke, the cigarette smokes, he the sucker."

Montana: Proudly Arming Survivalists for Armageddon Since 1889
Nevada: Craps, Hooch and Whores and Proud Of 'Em!

I'm an Oklahoman, so I feel entitled:
rjw, that won't do, because Oklahoma! is the state song, and I know no one who hates hearing or singing it (it's very positive
)
so I offer an alternative, and others unbranded:
Oklahoma, If You See It Here, You've Seen It Already
Montana, The Official State of the Turner Broadcasting System
Missouri, As We Go, So Goes the Country
Maryland, Washington's Cheaper Address
New Mexico, Bill Richardson's Stepladder
New Jersey, We Don't Make the Products You Buy, We Make the Products You Buy Tastier and Smellier
Maine, It's Not Too Cold to Fish
Massachusetts, Ask Not for a Better State
Nevada, We Need Water

I enjoyed these. But, for Illinois I might suggest:
Illinois: No, it doesn't just mean Chicago!
(the humor in "there is no noise in Illinois" might be hard to appreciate unless you live in Illinois and hear your state name butchered..IlliNOISE.. frequently)
Why do you say Mich/Ohio are rust states? I'm curious. I'd say that Washington and Oregon would be "rust" states. After all you can to there and buy t-shirts that say:
Washington: you don't tan, you rust
Oregon: you don't tan, you rust
Illinois: No, it doesn't just mean Chicago!

I'll add my two cents:
Connecticut - Come celebrate with our WASPS and Indians, JUST LIKE THE FIRST THANKSGIVING!
New Jersey - We're SOPRAN-TASTIC!
Arkansas - Go ahead and laugh, Wal-Mart's made us all RICH!
North Carolina - America's Leading Cancer Exporter since 1650!
Vermont - AAARRRGGHHHH!
Iowa - Where politicians learn the art of kissing as*!
Nevada - No really, we do have churches. Honest!
Texas - Sure we all sound like used car salesmen, but we REALLY are sincere!
