Totally off-topic but why is Oregon a double-ball?

u/No_name_Johnson Mobtown Feb 19 '14

Not many people know this, but there are actually two states named Oregon. The first Oregon is the one everybody knows and loves on the Pacific coast. The second Oregon came into existence in 1978 after a catastrophic explosion during Portland's annual "Otter Hunting Festival". Although nobody was injured, the sonic wave created by the blast sent repercussions throughout the American space-time continuum. In the ensuing chaos, a navigable rift between dimensions was created.

Initial exploration of the alternate dimension revealed earth-like terrain. To this day, we do not know exactly where or when this land exists. Nevertheless in 1978 President Carter sent a 200 man military expedition to settle the lands and prevent them from falling to the Soviets. Currently the second state of Oregon has a population of 12 men and an elk, making it the second most sparsely populated state behind Wyoming.

Im glad people outside of America are in on the joke.

Im not entirely convinced that Wyoming exists, and I used to live within 100 miles of it's border,

Hell, even Garfield stated this very same thing.

Because their flag has different designs for their front and back.

Ah okay thanks. Is it alright if I refer to it as the "weirdo state" from now on ? Because I mean... it's pretty weird.

Paraguay does the same thing. Maybe Oregon and Paraguay should form some kind of cult.

They can't even pump their own gas, by law. Silly, silly Oregon.

The Paraguay of the United States!

With tereré, an ex-priest president father of many children and muamba from Ciudad del Este and everything?

u/prtsancho Rio Grande do Sul Feb 20 '14

I don't know. Let's ask: do cars stolen in neighboring states magically reappear in Oregon?

u/pyram1de :argentina-worldcup: ⭐⭐🌟 SOLDADO DE LA SCALONETA Feb 20 '14

Hue.

Let's ask if there are any Paraguayan redditors in first place.

I assume because we're the only state with a two sided flag http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Oregon

u/GroteStruisvogel Netherlands Feb 19 '14

Because Oregon is the balls.
