Things to know about Oregon, and Warcraft too

I <3 the Internets! They're so silly. They brought you here, after all! But they brought other people here too, via some pretty awesome search strings. Two recent visitors searched for the following things, and Stupid is Better than Boring was one of the top results for each:
  • AOL search for things to know about oregon
  • Google search for funny slogan warcraft
First things first: Stupid is Better than Boring is obviously the #1 thing to know about Oregon, but I ain't too proud to provide a list of other things you should probably be aware of:
  • 148 years ago yesterday, Oregon became a state
  • There are 9 federally-recognized Native American tribal organizations in Oregon
  • Ashland, Oregon hosts the most robust Shakespeare festival in the country
  • Renowned film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3" was filmed in Oregon
  • According to Robert Putnam, and other smart people, Portland boasts more civic engagement than any other major city in the country
  • Oregon has been on the cutting edge of public policy: The Minimum Wage, the Bottle Bill, Land Use Planning, Public Beaches, Death with Dignity, the Oregon Health Plan, and Vote by Mail -- all born here.
Second wayward visitor, I haven't forgotten about you. How could I? The twinkle in your eye, your special musk.... Ahem. Let's not get carried away. This is a family blog, after all. Anyway, because you are a Warcraft fan, and because you are probably wondering what the Bus is, I have created the following slogans especially for you:
  • We like to talk about the Seven Es: Education, Election reform, Equal rights, Environment, Economic strength, 'ealth care, and Exterminating Orcs
  • WoW! Get on the BuS!
  • Not left, not right, but beyond the dark portal
  • Bus Gala 2007: Reign of Chaos
