Georgia

• We love Peaches!
• We have the best Peaches around, and lots of them!
• Oh we also love Pecans, and have lots of them. We also love Pecan Pie!
• We drink lots of sweet tea, the sweeter the better.
• We all have a southern drawl.
  
• We eat a lot of BBQ especially with Brunswick Stew.
• We like the Bulldogs, the Falcons, and especially the Braves.
• The girls either dress like Daisy Duke, or Scarlett O'hara.
  

Amazingly almost all of those are related to food! Not that surprising since the entire south tends to be known for having big southern style meals with all the fixings.

NJ

• We're all Italian (might be true).
• We all live 5 minutes from a highway exit (I did).
• We all still have our 80s haircut (I do). 
• We have beaches (its the shore).
• We're any of things the original SNL said we were (haters).
• We have a relative or no someone in the mob (shhhh...).
• Our states a deathtrap, its a suicide rap ("BTR"didnt become the state song).
• The accents the same as NY city (not even close) .
• Our plural of you is 'yous' (its 'you guys').

Oh, and we're all dumb!  Remember Deliverance - inbreds who happen to be banjo-playin' idiot savants.  So why is it the new yorkers are so drawn to Atlanta again?! 

California

• We're all liberals
• We all look like celebrities
• It never rains here
• We're all tan
• We spend all day at the beach
• We all drive either hybrids or convertables
• Everyone eats only salads
• We have happy cows
• We DO have the best avocados

 "We're all liberals"?

California has that nutty right-wing Orange County and has given us such luminaries as Ronald Reagan ("The grape boycott is immoral") and Richard Nixon ("I'm not a crook")...and Ahnold to boot.

California is schizophrenic.

There are no stereotypes of New Yorkers. :|

Ohio, The Buckeye State. Not named for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. Also, we don't all wear shorts when it is 50 degrees in the winter time.
