I decided to have some fun with my American neighbours. If Canadians were totally clueless about America, here is what we'd probably have to say about the 52 states. Am I stereotyping? Totally! Feel free to chime in via the comments.....
Alabama - They don't care much for Neil Young.
Alaska - Lots of single guys and a crazy woman politician.
Arizona - Where hockey teams go to die and Canadians go to get away from winter.
Arkansas - Clinton comes from here. Site of the first WalMart store.
California - Only actors and pop stars live there. It's always on fire.
Colorado - They have the Rocky Mountains and the mile-high city.
Connecticut - It's like a suburb of New York. Dave Letterman lives here. Who comes up with these state names?
Delaware - Why do they need to be a state? They're like the annex of Maryland.
Florida - Rockets, beaches, seniors and gators. And lots of hurricanes.
Georgia - Peaches come from here. And CNN.
Hawaii - Everybody has to move every 6 months because of the lava flows.
Idaho - Duh! Ever heard of potatoes?
Illinois - It gets windy.
Indiana - Where the Indy 500 is held.
Iowa - Known for corn and pigs.
Kansas - Always has tornadoes. You get to Oz from here.
Kentucky - Where fried chicken was invented. And some derby.
Louisiana - Where Cajun food comes from. They have a lot of beads and will trade some for skin.
Maine - Where Maritime Canadians go to buy cheap gas. They make their living on lobsters.
Maryland - All I know is it's near Washington DC.
Massachusetts - Where all the educated people come from.
Michigan - Land of cars and hot dogs. They must have a lot of drive-ins.
Minnesota - Descendants of Vikings live here. Residents are easily confused for Canadians.
Mississippi - I thought this was a river?
Missouri - Sounds like misery to me.
Montana - Where militia, crazy people and celebrities go to get away from it all.
Nebraska - Home of The Mutual of Omaha.
Nevada - The land of sin. Gambling and prostitutes. And CSI.
New Hampshire - They have cute hotels, right?
New Jersey - Wannabe New Yorkers.
New Mexico - Where immigrants from Mexico live until they get their citizenship.
New York - This is a city. I thought we were going to be only talking about states?
North Carolina - Where the first plane flew. Also the home of Pepsi and Krispy Kreme.
North Dakota - It's winter there 6 months of the year. Which explains why the movie Fargo was a true story.
Ohio - 3 words - Drew Carey Show.
Oklahoma - Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain. That's all I got.
Oregon - I think there's some trail going through here.
Pennsylvania - The honeymoon destination (Poconos). Home of cheesesteak and shoo-fly pie.
Rhode Island - Where the rich of New England go for the weekend.
South Carolina - Plantations and tobacco.
South Dakota - Slightly warmer than North Dakota.
Tennessee - Land of Jack Daniels and country music.
Texas - Only Republicans and oil come from Texas.
Utah - Land of Mormons. Liquor stores are hard to find.
Vermont - Where New England goes to ski when they can't find Canada.
Virginia - For lovers, although I honestly have no idea why.
Washington - The setting for the TV show Twin Peaks. Let's just leave it at that.
West Virginia - All inbreds.
Wisconsin - Dairy.
Wyoming - Cowboys and great scenery.

No Karl, I think you got them just right.
Only two things wrong.
50 not 52 states, unless you're Sarah Palin or want to count Puerto Rico and D.C. ( I'm sure they would love it)
And for Utah you spelled morons wrong.
Mitch
Mitch, I could save face by saying I left out DC and Puerto Rico on purpose, being the naive Canuck that I am......
And you made me laugh re the morons thing.
And now please post a contest for us 'mericans to do the same thing with Canada.
