Something *Fun* to talk about for a change!

What wing do you represent?

Who's has the most CAPtalk users from their respective Wings?

Aside from voting, mention something that makes your wing unique, past, present or future.

actually looks like a fair representation of CAP in general, with the largest numbers from the states with the largest overall populations.

Kansas just stepped in.

The state that brought you Amelia Earhart, Cessna, Beech and Stearman/Boeing aircraft, Barry Sanders, R. Lee Ermey, the rock band Kansas, Chely Wright, Martina McBride, Joe Walsh, Melissa Etheridge, Clint Bowyer, Dennis Hopper, Don Johnson, Elvira (mistress of the dark), Dennis the Menace, Clark Kent, Dorothy, Toto and 100 more tornadoes than any other state had last year.

We are willing to trade off Fred Phelps, the BTK killer, Creepy Karpis and Christie Alley to another Wing, just make an offer.

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."

Another Florida Wing member in the house. And like most Floridians, I'm not a native. Half the state's population is Yankees, and a majority on the west coast is....

... from the state that gave the world the Wright Brothers, eight presidents, professional football, Arby's, Wendy's, Arthur Treacher's, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison, the tire industry, garage door openers, Taylorcraft airplanes, the scarlet carnation, Bob Hope, Drew Carey, Fred Willard, Martin Mull, Molly Shannon, Halle Berry, Martin Sheen's wife, Perry King, Jamie Farr, the Warner Brothers (of movie fame), Devo, Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders, Bone Thugs 'n' Harmony, Macy Gray, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, Dean Martin, Traci Lords, Jerry Springer, Smucker's, Longaberger baskets, Jeffrey Dahmer and more.

That's right -- OHIO. "The Heart Of It All."

It's also the "Birthplace of Aviation." North Carolina, those moochers, took the cheap, easy way out. They just had the weather for a first-ever manned airplane flight. Everything before Dec. 17, 1903, and after it, was in Dayton.

Ohio is also home of the first capital of the states of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin (the Ohio Territory). And Ohio State still considers Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin as Ohio territory come college football season.

There's my plug for an under-represented wing. Go figure, a Florida resident talking up another state. It's not like people don't know anything about Florida, with the famous rat in Orlando, the weather, the oranges, this year's Super Bowl....

Can we trade BTK for your Jeffrey Dahmer? Dahmer's dead, so he's low maintenance and Kansas is under a budget crunch right now.

BTW my offer to trade Fred Phelps for Traci Lords still stands...
