Pissing Contests Are Dangerous and Should Be Avoided

Steve and I were discussing state history and I assured him that I know more about the state of Kansas, than I do about my home state of Washington.

I challenged him to the Kansas state song. Home on the Range.

Which led Steve to assert that Washington State's Tree is the Douglas Fir. (It isn't, 'cause you're a loser, STEVE.)

Which led me to Wikipedia, which led to the Blueberry Muffin- The State Muffin. I shit you not.

The State Tree is the Western Hemlock. The State Flower is the Coast Rhododendron. The State Fish is the Steelhead Trout. The State Folk Song is "Roll On, Columbia, Roll On" by Woody Guthrie. The unofficial Rock Song is "Louie Louie" by the Kingsman. The State Grass is Bluebunch Wheatgrass. The State Insect is the Green Darner Dragonfly. The State Fossil is the Columbian Mammoth.
