Jack Frost Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 PennsylvaniaCook With Coal Believe it or not, the coal under Reading has been burning for years. lol I believe it...there is a similar one in Laurel Run near Wilkes-Barre that has been burning for almost a century. I grew up in the old coal mining regions of Northeastern Pennsylvania. This should be Austria's official motto.< We're not Australia, dammit! Link to comment

You have no ideas how true that is at time, and it also true in reverse. It goes back a long way, too. Edwin Flack (from Australia, naturally) won a gold medal in the first of the modern Olympic games in 1896. They played the Austrian national anthem for him.... Last year I had a friend in America who asked me about how much media coverage a particular event was getting. I said I had never heard of it, and when he sent me the link to the article I pointed out it was happening in Austria, not Australia.... Link to comment

rknapp Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 New JerseyYou Want A ##$%##! Motto? I Got Yer ##$%##! Motto Right here! I love it! They could also use, "Welcome to New Jersey, now get the f**K out." That seems to be a statewide favorite. New york would better with, "Fogheddaboutit." For a short period time, I think it was in brooklyn, they changed the "Now leaving Brooklyn" signs to also read "Fogheddaboutit!" haha. Link to comment
colinian Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 This should be Austria's official motto.<We're not Australia, dammit! Actually, Austria's official motto is: We gave your governator to you Californians, and no, you can't give him back! Colin Link to comment

Site Administrator Graeme Posted February 27, 2007 Site Administrator Share Posted February 27, 2007 You don't REALLY want something like:Victoria: Home of Victorian morality Do you? --Rigel Our state government likes to come up with mottoes to put on the car registration plates. One of them was: Victoria: On the move The immediate response from the comedians was: Victoria: On the move... to Queensland. Link to comment
Site Moderator TalonRider Posted February 27, 2007 Site Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2007 The city were I was born and raised has the motto: Marion, a city on the move.
