17 March 2006NY: keeping MA and PA apartWhy things should never be done by committees, Part 6.02 x 10^23: a task force of thirty-two worked eighteen months on a new tourism slogan for Washington state, and came up with "SayWA". I await Maine's pitch to lure travelers to its seafood restaurants, which logically should read "EatME", right? * (Via The Consumerist; this link may be considered NSFW for textual reasons.) * Disclosure: I could swear I actually saw that on a billboard in Massachusetts back in the middle Seventies. Of course, I drank more then. Posted at 11:00 AM to Say What?I thought about this a bit longer, and decided that "Exclusive OR" might work, sort of, but "Penis NV" probably would be a hard sell. Oklahoma, of course, is OK. Used to say so on the license plates. Didn't see any "Iowa is IA" plates, but what the heck. Just from the number you assigned this, I could tell it involved making a mountain out of a Mole-hill.
