Wait, we have a state fish? When did the legislature finally agree on this issue? They were arguing over the small mouth bass, large mouth bass and walleye several years ago. One of the dumbest debates I ever heard. I had no idea they finally settled the issue.


As for the state mammal: White tail deer

I should know the wildflower, but am blanking right now.

As for nickname.......um, Modern Home of Presidents?

buckeyegrad got the state mammal but the 3 other questions still remain unanswered.

Thump,

Are you sure Ohio has a state fish? I didn't think we did so I cheated and googled to find the answer. I can't find a state fish listed anywhere. In addition, there is this sight by the Small-Mouth Bass Alliance lobbying to make their fish the state symbol:

I saw last year that the small mouth bass was made the official state fish.

If you would like me to remove the question I will but I saw it last year on television.

Fair enough. I guess they finally got that passed through the legislature.

Any hints on Ohio's other nickname? I know we were going with the slogan "Heart of it All" a few years back, but I'm guessing that is not it.

 

[Thump]

"Heat of it All" a few years back, but I'm guessing that is not it.

Uh, yeah, you're right, that is not it, the slogan was "The Heart of it All."


No hints yet.

"Mother of Modern Presidents"

"The Yankee State"

 

[Thump]

"Mother of Modern Presidents"


"The Yankee State"

The Yankee State?

You're kidding right Ginn & Juice?

Let me guess, your favorite color is clear.

Actually, Yankee State is correct:

"The Yankee State" was an early nickname applied to Ohio, probably by Kentuckians and Virginians because of its free institutions. It may also have been in reference to the many New Englanders who migrated to Ohio in the early 1800s.

No it is not correct, it is not one of the two "recognized" state nicknames for Ohio.

Plus, he googled it anyways so he's a cheating fucker!
