Clearly, someone did. This makes me laugh. From the ever lovely Beancounters, via Graph Jam.

Some (but only some) of those cowboys in Texas are real.
There are a lot of REALLY old people here in Michigan.
I’d have to say… it’s pretty much right on the money, otherwise

Yeah, I’m gonna have to go with expanding the fake cowboy section & pick up truck section as I daily almost get run over by someone that thinks they’re more important than me because they’re in a pick up truck…and I just went to a party and the person had a sign on the wall that says “cowboy by choice” they also had rusted quail and javellina art in their front yard..and I seriously doubt if they could pick a horse out of a line-up…egads!

I can only imagine the HP’s version of this map. Loud and obnoxious NYers would stay the same. The rest? Not so much. California would probably be labeled dirty pinko commie hippie land though

This is great. I do think that Texas needs to be pink, however.
I think the ratio of real cowboys to fake around here is something like 1:100. Mr. Sir is a cow rancher. They are around, and aren’t nearly as romantic as the books would have one believe…

Cows are difficult. They have multiple stomachs and are susceptible to bloat. You know what you have to do if they get bloat? OY! ~W
WHATT??? What did I do wrong now to offend your spiritual self? Because, according to this map, I’m a Canuck and everyone knows they are the least offensive people on the planet, eh?

Too funny. I’d have reduced the “Vegas” section and increased the “Religious Nutballs” section. But that’s just me!

I *LOVE* this map. I think it should become the standard for all middle-schools. Why bother with states and capitols… this says it all.

I love how there is no distinguishable border between Cali and Oregon. Accident? I think not.

I love it–and I do fit the stereotype of the espresso addicted Washingtonian.

Well, it was living in Washington that turned me into an espresso drinker. Before that, I was a Tea girl.

Love that map, even though I live in the unfortunate area labeled “Religious Nutballs who try to force their religion on us.” So very true, all of it.

Too funny! I showed my sister, who is from the south, and she laughed out loud at the “religious nutballs” section. She said it was so spot on

Well, your sister is Southern. So of COURSE she’s right. Hee.. (said one southern girl about another. ) ~W
