So Mo gets out of bed this morning telling me about America's 51st state: Yiho.
Apparently Bill Clinton came to his school yesterday to tell the kids about Yiho.
Yiho is situated just below Texas and Louisianna in what was formerly the Gulf of Mexico. I have a lovely map on my desk that clearly shows its geographical position. The Gulf is still there but it is a little smaller.
The state drink is Coca Cola.
The state animal is the spider. They only have big spiders. The spiders only live in the forest though so you'll be safe in the city so don't worry about it.
When making your summer vacation plans please consider visiting America's newest state: beautiful Yiho!
At this point everything else about Yiho is up for grabs.
I will happily be taking suggestions for things like state bird (the dodo?), motto (I'm crazy for Yiho?) , holidays (imaginary friend appreciation day?), whatever.
Thank you for your interest in Yiho. I'll be looking forward to your ideas!
I offer the following possibilities:
The State fish: Red Snapper (very popular in the Gulf!)
State Motto: "
Surviving Hurricanes Since 2008!"
Can I have a road or building named after me please?
The capital of Yiho is Yo, whose main industry is rum, utilizing vast sugar cane fields throughout the state. The Yo City chamber of commerce's slogan is "Yo, Yiho and a bottle of rum."
Quote:State Motto: "Surviving Hurricanes Since 2008!"
Excellent!
I think the fishin' building should be the Aquarium.
Rum! Pirates!
I'm relocating to Yiho ASAP!
The state fish is a big, blue whale.
The most common religion in Yiho is the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
You need something touristy . . . it's tired, it's lame, but i suggest "Yiho is for lovers." You can pass out "I heart Yiho" bumper stickers.
"YiHo is for he who doodoo."

Say what?
Oh well. Everyone is free to practice their own thing but TCOICBINB has kind of a toehold in Yiho.
Whales in the Gulf! Perfect for Yiho.
I heart Yiho works because everybody hearts Yiho!
Upon closer inspection of the map it is clear that Louisianna has shrunk. Was there a Louisianna Refund?
Refunds only with receipt. They get store credit.... they can have cjhsa's guns.
BBB
YiHo is the perfect place to establish off-shore tax havens, secret bank accounts, a club med for corporate class criminals, disgraced politicans and dictators. Members of the middle and poor classes need not apply for a visitor visa.
The state mammal is the stoat.

I can't believe you declined the invitation to be the spoke city, from His Holiness, the Grand Puba of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Yiho is also the home of Yiho Sliver, Inc., a major producer and exporter of slivers, for use in toothpicks, matchsticks and for lumber coating (for those foolish enough to handle lumber with bare hands). Their company slogan is "Yiho Sliver, away!"
The Yiho silver mine is, of course, owned by seven dwarf brothers who suffer from a variety of mental and physical ailments. They do, however, have lovely singing voices and are often heard singing "Yiho, Yiho, it's off to work we go".
The stoat is an unlovely thing, perfect for scaring away the Louisianners (Louisiannaians?, Louisiannites?) who are trying to get even for the Refund.
It will be the perfect place, BBB, after the next big hurricane renders Yiho an actual offshore property.
Stumble It!
