Things you probably don't know.
Okay, so on the CCST this year, we had a lot of chatter on the radio. Many people said it was that chatter that helped keep them going. When we got into Montana, one of the things we did, other than the "Your mom" jokes, was tell each other facts about Montana, and we came into some really obscure stuff. So without further stalling, here are some facts about the great state of Montana.

considering my ex girlfriend yelled at me for dissing montana when we were together, and I now hate her this list makes me giggle.
The mayor of Montana and the governor of Montana share the same office.
Actually this one is true... weird, ne?
Montana stole the idea of Mayor of Montana from Washington.
- Montana has still never recovered from the great paint wars of 2004 , in which they were the losers.
- Montana's number one export are trains, their number one import are ghosts.
This is one of the rest/view stops. There was a sign that said "stay on pavement, rattlesnakes present"
This is a McDonalds in Glendive, MT. It was not equipped for a line of over 10 people, let alone the almost 30 we showed up with. I think the staff there almost panicked at the sheer mass of people we brought in.
I want to point this picture out to anyone who hasn't been, because if you've seen this picture, you've seen 95% of what Montana has to offer.
As a former Montana resident, my heart goes out to all the brave PAXers forced to trudge through that god-forsaken land, and I pray that not too many of you were lost along the way.
Did they finally repeal that law? Last I heard they hadn't bothered...made me a little nervous around covered wagons...
I lived in Bozeman, MT for 12 years with my parents. Born in Seattle, thankfully, and came back home after THAT hell-hole. Yes, Montana is mostly prarie...until you hit the southwest corner which is all mines and ski resorts.
Actually, I'm not sure. A friend still over there seems to think it has been, but I'm too lazy to find out for sure. Also, the Western 50mi or so is all Rockies, too, so it's much more pleasant; Sorta like around here, only with darker shades of green and brown.
I wonder how many people thought I was joking when I threw it in here. ;D
Not that I live in Missoula or anything.
wtf red dirt
Also I came in about 10 minutes behind you guys through Billings. I would have probably run down to your stop, but the best rule of Greyhound stations is to not go outside of them.
Residents of Montana can't walk and turn at the same time.
Montana was originally a coastal state, but had to change places with Washington after it's residents kept wandering into the sea.
Digging a hole is a B.Sc. worthy degree in Montana.
Montana has only one rock. It has fallen.

Also, Montana is famous for tricking people into believing that there are mountains there.
This thread is made of Win and Awesome.
I love you guys.
Srsly.
I exclaimed "Khoo is my Sensei!"
So if memes make great shirts,
And Pod Six is Jerks,
Then Moe, Khoo and I had our day.
Run by the 4H Club, and the infants produced are shown and judged at the county fair.
Montana, everything west of Billings, up the Rocky Mountain Front.
West Dakota, everything else.
Spread the word.
And I hope you enjoyed our lack of sales tax.
Eastern Montana is depressing as shit. All of it.
Fun fact: It is also the birthplace and home of Evel Kinevel.
This explains so much about him.
and well the fact that you really never get to see the true beauties of that state if you never leave I-90 ..
Glacier National Park -- one of the true rare natural parks left.. people still get eaten by bears there just for being stupid..
Lewis And Clark Caverns
Yellowstone Park (well shared with WY
Flathead Valley
Some true historical sites:
Custards last Stand
Virginia City ..
hell Even Butte .. or the capitol Helena..
home of several challenging ski area.. won't say resort.. as some are defiantly not that.. but considering Bridger Bowl out of Bozeman is used for extream skiers to practice at.. says something
I don't live there any more.. true.. but it will always have a bit of my heart....
it's just unfortunate 2/3's of the state is SOOO flat and wind tortured. ... but even then.. thare are some things out there missed by most passer bys
Montana: 1/3 of it is a Great Place to Visit!*
*Paid for by the Montana State Board of Tourism
eh.. call me silly .. was trying to put a positive spin on a place where I still have family and friends who live there cause they love it..
and it just seemed rather negative having people pick on both the residents and the state itself..
and I didn't say only 1/3 was a great place.. just that 2/3'rds is not the green perfect place they all want to see.. (all the time)
but what ever..
I was speaking to some crazy-ass gas station clerk in Butte at 3am (the CCST stopped there for gas) and he was telling me about how Evil Kinevel once spanked him for stealing his golf cart
Oh, condiment! We hardly knew ye!
Also, 15 hours or so across Montana, mostly at night, yeah.
Something about that "Big Sky" crushes intelligence. ;D
It just takes all the state's energy to contain me, hence all the boring and dead. Also; fires.
Montana: We hate it here so much, we set it aflame.
Montana, it's self-aware!
And possibly suicidal.
Brown Gulch in Butte anyone?
Montana's residents do not venture out after dark due to an intense fear of vampires.
Comment at dusk: Man, even the sun wants to get the hell out of Montana.
