Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

In fairness, West Virginia is a really weird shape. Probably has something to do with inbreeding, but, regardless, it would be very difficult to draw.Looks like a 5th grader drew that map... look at WV
Any state with panhandles is awesome looking. Way better than Colorado.
I point this out all the time. Red just like elections maps in Europe are associated with the left as it should be. The media in the 80s wanted to hide this and took the orders from the DNC to swap the colors. I think 1984 it was mixed but by 1988 the conversion was complete.
Agreed. All those middle American states that are just glorified squares/rectangles are trash. As a proud New Jersian (first time that’s been written) I am all about amoeba type shapes
