The 50 States: Delaware

Let's keep this magical mystery tour jiving. Next stop is Delaware: shaped like a lima bean, I really don't know much about you. You have the appearance to outsiders of being a lonely, misplaced state -- but I'm sure if I cracked you open, you'd be full of love and rasberry flavored chocolates. You've yet to invite me over for blueberry pancakes, but if you were so inclined on some sunday monring (and expressed me some first-class tickets and a bottle of makers mark) I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Delaware, you were admitted to the union on a sunny day in 1787. You were a trailblazer when you were the first to ratify the US Constitution. You brought us such great things as The Methodist Church, log cabins, the automatic flour mill, nylon, Robert Bird, E.I. du Pont, Henry Heimlich, and Julius Johnson.

Delaware, even though are you small -- you still have songs written about you, and for that, I love you.

• David Dondero - I'm Going Back to Wilmington
• Doug Kwartler - Wilmington
• The Dambuilders - Delaware

edit: Ok, I was busted. That David Dondero song is about Wilmington, NC. An anonymous commentor called me out, but maybe... just maybe kids, I make mistakes like this just to see if anyone is actually listening. Enjoy the Dondero track right now, and enjoy it again when we get to NC.
