I actually saw a series of billboards outside Minot, ND which read "Welcome to North Dakota, set your watch back 50 years", "Welcome to North Dakota, mountain removal project completed", and in front of a stand of about 15 trees, "Welcome to the North Dakota State Forest". There was also a real estate sign north of Minot that read "Buy North Dakota, $2000.00".

Those were out by the air base...used to drive by those when we'd go to track meets. I was told that some air force officer paid for them.

Yeah, I was stationed up there for the last year and a half of my enlistment. I actually enjoyed my time up there and those signs helped lighten up my days. Its always a good thing to start the day with a laugh.

The fake Kansas motto is actually better than the real one which is, I kid you not, Kansas: Bigger than you think.
What the heck does that mean? Does anyone outside Kansas actually think Kansas is big. Flat, perhaps, but not big.

Kansas: Like Paris Hilton, it's white, flat, and easy to get into.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to FADERPROOF again.

Colorado: Too wimpy to cross the mountains, so we just stopped here

I hate that motto with a passion. "As big as you think"...People outside of Kansas don't think of it as very big. Hell, people IN Kansas don't consider it very big... :moon:
