:p It's imaginary. I sent out 10,000 georges looking for it and am now leaning towards it does not exist. It is like Vermont, West Virginia, and South Dakota. Just rumors designed to make me crazier. I'm just as likeley to get a hit in Atlantis I'd guess....... :)

here's some info i found while looking around the net.

rhode island was founded by john rodi and his followers a long, long time ago. rodi's land was a bounteous place where everyone was starving, mostly because rodi loved to tell jokes rather than do any real work. sadly, rodi died in a freak herring pickling accident and his followers changed the name of their colony to honor rodi's favorite saying: there's no i in team, but there is an i in island. humor was primitive back in long, long ago. "the day the joking around stopped" is commemorated in rhode island by the addition of a silent "h" (for herring, the state's patron fish) to the name.

i didn't say what net i was looking around in, did i?

One of my few found wilds was from a Georger in Rhode Island. I haven't found many, so I tend to remember the interesting ones I've found, and the result is that I always think I have Rhode Island, and then I get all cranky when I see my hit map and realize that I don't. :mad:

For some reason I really wanted to live in Rhode Island when I was a kid. I always thought it'd be cool to be from Woonsocket.

It's a silly place, full of pig headed Frenchmen. You have to park your cars side by each but not too close apart. However, you can get a good amburger there with honion sliced tick.:D

LOL! :D

[Skeptic]

Lived in Saunderstown Rhode Island (Birthplace of Gilbert Stuart) for 4 years.

Trivia Question: Who was Gilbert Stuart?

Rhode Island is home to lobsters and mobsters (Buddy Cianci was major of Providence forever - know he's in federal prison for corruption - but the people still love him - go figure).

[Lisa in Delaware]

It's smaller than Delaware! :D

Kenyons and Fenners and Smiths, oh my!

You have got to love a guy who has the balls to move a RIVER to make a city park.:p

That's my dad's family, hup and dahn.

This is the joke he told us: The proud history of the French Canadians all began when France tossed out all the people who were too dumb to be ignorant peasants.

Yep, mob style!

Random acts of senseless bumping.

Bored tonight, Rich?

It's where we send the Kennedy's who are a bit too slow even to be elected in MA.

Providence has more Strip clubs per square foot than any other place in New England.

For the most part, they speak correctly. They know about packies and bubblahs, but they have this weird cabinet thing and they have some kind of odd hybrid like combination of proper bowling pins and ten-pins that are called duck pins. (The result, no doubt, of a drunken weekend experiment in bowling pin mating at Chicken Hawks)

I don't think they have toll roads in RI, which is cool.

They have no motorcycle helmet law, which is also cool.

And they'll let you carry your gun on your MA license, as long as you tell them that you're just passing through and don't have any real business in the state (The State politicians are the official hold-up men of the state, and they frown on competition)

(And I have hundreds of hits there...I don't know what the big deal is.....(Runs and hides))

Every now and again I'll go through the archives and start bumping. I just felt like it tonight.

I can't believe this thread went three years and no one quoted John Donne.
