I vote we eliminate:
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. New York
1. I have the misfortune to live here; I'd be fine if they seceded like they're always threatening to do.
2. Alabama is pretty much part of Georgia anyway (or at least Phenix City is a suburb of Columbus), so this is probably do-able.
3. Eliminate the 2nd largest wine-producing state in the nation? Are you insane? Or a shill of the competing German wine producers? or do you, like most people, not realize that New York State is a large state, and that New York City is actually a de facto part of the state of New Jersey?

I'd instead recommend Nebraska or Iowa. All those midwestern corn states start to seem alike after a while.
Or we could merge South Carolina with North Carolina, because almost everyone not from there thinks they're the same state anyway. Likewise for the Dakotas.
Why not just consolidate the various cardinal direction states into Carolina, Dakota and Virginia? Furthermore exactly what good would eliminating states do?

Since we will be below fifty we could then add three new ones! Canada Puerto Rico, and Iraq!
/too soon?

(a) It would piss people off, which is always fun;
(b) It would keep the congresspeople of those states occupied, so they'd be unable to assist their corporate sponsors from completing the takeover of America in the meantime;(c) It would eventually reduce the senate by at least 6 people, which would be an added bonus.
I suggest that:
1) Vermont be returned to her rightful owner, New Hampshire.
2) Maine be restored to Massachusetts, under the suzerainity of Lord Gruumash. or not, that can be determined later.
3) Delaware be declared a corporation and no longer a state--
and we should be good.

I thought you were a socialist type? Surely you'd want to eliminate three of the "red" (as in conservative, not as in Communist) states instead?

Can we PLEASE give Florida back to the Spanish? It was a s#~!hole when we took it, but NOOO we had to have our orange juice.

Personally I agree with the OP -- the law of conservation of Ninjutsu applies to the awesomeness of the US too. With fewer states the rest will surely become more awesomer.
Just give California, Washington and Idaho to Caesar's Legion and be done with it.

I think dumping Alaska is the easy call and let's give Arizona back to the scorpions.

Considering that would make it harder for the little family I do have in Arizona to come bug me I'm all for it.

Are you nuts? If we give up Arizona, then how do we get our whores?

Notice I said "whores", not "dirty whores". :P
You won't see Puerto Rico wanting to join up. Sure, they don't have any legislative say in Congress, but they sure do enjoy not having to pay those taxes while gaining the benefits of those who do.
Give it some time before we start selling land piecemeal to the Chinese. Let's see what they can do to rehab the ninth ward in New Orleans, so let's start with Louisiana. Nothing sings like a fire sale when you sell one of the main gateways via the Mississippi River.
Besides, there's plenty of indigenous animals that make great ingredients for new dining options. Especially Cajuns.

Do you mean Nevada? Bunny Ranch and what not?
Then again, you may have toured Arizona's club scene and found the women desperately willing to do anything for a ride out of the desert.

It was the whores discussion. It's like a "Summon Urizen" spell sent out across the interwebz.

He's right. Whores are delicious when steamed with flied lice.

Oh heck no. I refuse to be in the same state as those SC barbarians with their mustard based bbq abomination* and cheap fireworks. ;)
*(because only vinegar based pulled pork bbq is the true type of carolina bbq)
Since we will be below fifty we could then add three new ones! Canada Puerto Rico, and Iraq!
/too soon?
You don't want us up here, you couldn't grasp the concept on nationalized health-care.
...you say socialist like its a bad thing :P
Better watch out or Texas will split into five states and leave you in an even worse mess than before.I vote we eliminate:
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. New York
Can texan's count that high?

I say we kick out the middle states. Then, when they become countries, we can invade them from all sides whenever Americans need to feel patriotic.

OK, you have a point. As an NC native I do have to agree that vinegar is the best way to go. But I do like a good mustard sauce as well (especially for hush puppies and the like). Of course, I do love mustard in general as it has its own type of bite (real mustard that is, not that baby$&!% yellow stuff most folks call mustard).
The one I can't understand is the "white sauce" that I've seen popping up over the last couple of years ... like someone pulling a Frankenstein with BBQ sauce and ranch hell. Whoever came up with that one should be slow cooked for a few hours too long.
and that New York City is actually a de facto part of the state of New Jersey?Are you just trying to piss off New Yorkers? ;)
I'm from Troy, just outside Albany, if that sheds any light on why I hold that opinion...
SC barbarians with their mustard based bbq abomination*
Being a major BBQ maniac, from Carolina through Memphis, St. Louis, and all the way to Texas, I still like that mustard-based abomination the best. ;D

I knew there was something funny about the water up there.
But yes, New york is oddly shaped. Its not a state its a watershed. They basically claimed the river and anything that flowed into it so poof... you have a bizzar shape that puts what everyone thinks of new york (the city) Right on the border of new jersey with the rest of the state breaking north for canada and west for pa.
oh, and long island. Don't ask me how an area that small gets its own accent.
(real mustard that is, not that baby$&!% yellow stuff most folks call mustard).
In Germany, they called the yellow mustard Kindersenf ("kids' mustard"). I have to agree.

They also have Kinderbier. That's beer for kids. ;-)

My first introduction to wheat beer was in Germany... where they drank it with breakfast.

That makes sense. After all, we only have 16 states and are at least 10 times more awesome then you. It seems that this is exponential. :P

You just consolidate Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota into one state with the same population as Iowa, and a combined area larger than Texas plus New Mexico.

It's twice as funny because of the irony involved -- I've been arguing for a nationalized health-care system because it would help business in the USA (that's not my full reason but it is a great starting point).
