I am become death, the destroyer of worlds

Buckethead Buckethead

After a long - and perhaps justified - hiatus, the Ministry educational series, “Know your state mottoes” returns with that most statelike of states, New Mexico:

  • I am become death, the destroyer of worlds
  • Lizards make excellent pets
  • We have reservations
  • Yes, those are crosshairs on our flag, why?
  • We may be new, but we’re not New Jersey.
  • We’re the bomb
  • Alien Welcome Center
  • Like Old Mexico, Only Less Old
  • We are TOO a State!
  • Turquoise, Turquoise, Turquoise
  • Just Deserts
  • Bam!
  • The Complimentary Bolo Tie State
  • More than Just Sand, Rocks and Heat. Okay, Just Sand Rocks and Heat
  • Soon to be Old Mexico
  • It’s a dry heat, but then so’s the inside of an oven
  • Really New, unlike faux new states like New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey.
  • Almost as many nuclear explosions as Nevada
  • It grows as it goes
  • Birthplace of the fucking bomb
  • Everybody is somebody in New Mexico, and therefore nobody is anybody
  • Better than the Old Mexico
  • The Elephant Butte State
  • The Potash State
  • Home of the New Mexico Cutthroat Trout
  • You did make a wrong turn at Albuquerque

[wik] One of those mottoes is the actual state motto of New Mexico. Can you guess which one it is?

[alsø wik] I think it explains a lot that the most famous New Mexican short of Smokey the Bear, John Denver, is from Roswell.

[alsø alsø wik] In some isolated villages, such as Truchas, Chimayo', and Coyote in north-central New Mexico, some descendants of Spanish conquistadors still speak a form of 16th century Spanish used no where else in the world today. Like the Millunjins from West Virginia.

* No worries mate. At least not after you've finished the other 6-pack.
* Hotter than a monkey's bum.
* More than just a string of beaches, but seriously, who cares?
* Go to the beach and let it all hang out. Well, your stomach, anyway.
* Boasting the best marsupial to tourist ratio in the world.
* Marry an Australian girl, and Bob's your uncle!
* Instead of a Starbucks, we have a pub on every corner.

* Our national dish is charred meat.
* Texas is small and densely-packed by comparison.
* Cricket - There's no better excuse to drink continuously for 5 days.
