51 State Quarters?

I was having a bad day last week. It was turned around at Quizno’s. Not because of their subs, though they are good, but because I was handed as part of my change the state quarter for Hawaii.

That was the last one. Mrs. Muttrox and I have been collecting the state quarters since 2000. The map that they go in is her favorite present I’ve ever gotten her (bling earrings expected of course). Ah, life was good.

Until yesterday. Yesterday I got a state quarter for Washington DC. What? And Duke Ellington? I like Duke Ellington, but surely they could have come up with something better than that. It looks like The Duke is saying Justice for All. As accomplished as he was I don’t think he should get to use Superman’s tagline. Maybe it’s a shoutout to how his music led to Metallica.

Second, Washington DC is not a state. Third, the map people who gave us the map screwed up. This is just annoying. The point of the map is to have a complete set. I have the map, but it doesn’t hold the complete set. It turns out that after completing the states they decided to keep going with “territories”. I look forward to Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands. No, I do not.

Those aren’t states. Should have put them on dimes or something.

  1. Those of you in DC have been royally hosed again and again, it is completely unfair and unjust.

    That said, you’re still not a state. And there are still funny things about you.

  2. those of us in DC appreciate the mockery of people who are still kept under the whole “taxation without representation” thing.

  3. “Countries we plan to take over” would be great. Countries like Libya and El Salvador would be anxiously awaiting the new release to see if they’re on the list.

  4. There’s a spot on my map for something called the “Millennium Quarter”. I’ve looked online and can’t find any reference to it.

    What’s next after territories? Other countries where we have bases? Countries that we plan to take over?
