Delaware: the Low Self-Esteem State
Delaware likes to call itself “The First State” because it was the first state to ratify the constitution. In the 200 years since then, Delaware has accomplished nothing of note. No great writers, artists, scientists, or leaders of any kind have come out of the state. There is nothing unique about the state. It has no notable geographical features and is the second smallest state. This lack of significance in any way has affected the minds of its residents. How do I know? Well let’s talk about some of the official items of the state…http://www.state.de.us/gic/delfacts/animal.shtml
Every state likes an official animal. An official animal should be something that state residents can be proud of.
Wow, it’s a rooster. Granted, it’s a blue rooster, but still a cock nonetheless. Other states have awesome birds like robins, cardinals, and blue-footed boobies, but Delaware is decidedly average.
This is a weakfish folks. ‘nuff said.
This is a horseshoe crab, the spawn of Satan. This unholy beast actually isn’t a crab; it’s an arachnid. It has blue blood too. Please note that this horrible creature is in a rather bland color too. What on Earth would possess a state to make such an awful choice for an official sea creature? Mediocrity, that’s what.
Finally, let me show you the official state drink:
Yep, a glass of milk, a completely unexciting glass of milk. To be fair, other states have milk as their official drink, but how many other states have a cock, and a weakfish as state animals?
I will say one good thing about Delaware: those DE people have a great sense of humor, and their state abbreviation is “DE” which is also the country abbreviation for Germany. Deutschland…err, Delaware in da haus!
