Vermont

From RationalWiki

Vermont is sometimes a state in the United States, and sometimes a rebellious independent country.^[1]

In a show of wild imaginative creativity, the state's nickname is pretty much a translation of its real name.

[edit] Vermontness

• Vermont has tried to claim the product made from the sap of Acer saccharum as their own brand.
• They are pursuing a similar tourist-oriented branding with regard to covered bridges.
• The leftist liberal puppet show and festival "Bread and Puppet" had to reduce its party from a long week to several separate weekends due to becoming a mecca for drug dealers and users.

[edit] Notable Vermontistas

• That guy who led the Green Mountain Boys.
• Ethan Allen and his furniture (wait, isn't this the same guy?).
• Vermont's current Representative to the US Congress, Bernie Sanders, is independent of any political party.

[edit] Footnotes

1. ↑ These periods of independence, however, are not recognized by the other 49 states, who feel the need to continue to defend Vermont from invasion or annexation by Canada.
