(68 posts)Nicolas Cage did a movie up here not long ago called "Frozen Ground". I believe it was the biggest budget movie ever done in Alaska.

(26,602 posts)Sorry, Maryland, if you've got to ask - no. And right next door, Delaware has already turned its attention to Jersey...
Can't you East Coast folks take up some wholesome pursuits, like fantasy bowling?

(14,881 posts)living in Maine and all, this post forced me to google "nickelback lyrics" because I had no idea who/what/what/when/where "nickelback" is or was, although the word "lyrics" did suggest something likely musical.
Meh. I've heard 2 or so of their songs a zillion times on the radio. Now I know the name attached to those songs. They make ok background music when I'm driving along headed to whereever. Not that I'd normally be worried about the lyrics or know enough to google them, but I can see the teeny-boppers doing it...

(17,204 posts)Gawds, there are some ignorant people out there.
Not that I should talk about ignorance. I have no idea what "Bronies" or "Vajazzling" are, but I refuse to risk my own home's proud Googling record for Donald Trump quotes to find out.

Vajazzling - Women who like to decorate a certain womanly body part. Remember back in the 70s they use to have that mail order gizmo called the Bedazzle where you could take a pair of jeans and add fake rhinestones all over it. Now combined that certain woman body part and imagine adding fake rhinestones all over it. That's Vajazzling.

(95,337 posts)and after almost 8 years of Scott Walker that state is pretty much in the Outhouse. People are probably googling Outhouses to say 'Scott Walker has crapped our state into the Outhouse'

(37,457 posts)Am I a virgin ? WTH. That has to be from a joke site or something. No one can be that ignorant and/or stupid.
eta: Ok, I'm willing to admit if a very sheltered 8 year old gets on TEH GOOGLE, that question can be asked legitimately.
And I have to say, Nebraska is a pretty boring state if the most embarassing thing is Nick Nolte. My ex-wife's parents were from Nebraska and they were lovely people.
