Religiocracy?
As a papist, is this going to interfere with my vacation plans at the Carolina beach?
Mmmm.....the sacrament of the shrooms. Ramen indeed!
Smarter, but less tolerant.
...once the University of Florida is eliminated, the great state of Florida will take its proper place as the most Batshyt Psyco state in the union!!!
Double up-fist for once-removed geographic relevance.

I’d like to suggest a new license plate motto for NC.
