There's nothing I dislike on this earth more than mayonnaise. Except Texans. What loud, obnoxious and pretentious people, right? Well, I'm almost entirely wrong about that. That stereotype doesn't completely fit for the state of Texas, but in honor of my harmless stereotypical ways, here are ten stereotypes about Wyoming and its inhabitants that are actually accurate, or at least for the majority of the cake.
1. A bison is NOT called a buffalo.
Bison do look similar to the Buffalo of Africa and Asia, but they are not related. Bison are North American, Buffalo are not.
2. Wyoming is indeed windier than the windy city.
If you were to visit all five major towns in Wyoming, at least three of them would end up windy. That's just how it goes, and we got used to it, no matter how much we complain.
3. Wyoming has more guns than some countries.
And with 88.8 guns per 100 people, we are damn proud of it. Shit, even I, a 20 year old student, own three.
4. Distances are measured in time, not miles.
40 minutes to Cheyenne, two hours to Casper, and a painful 6 1/2 to Cody. That's just how it goes.
5. There aren't enough people for many stereotypes.
We even have less people than Washington D.C. Oh well, more room to grow.
6. The entire state is Republican.
Despite some UW students from out of state, 78 percent of the population is registered as Republican. *insert elephant trumpet*
7. We ARE some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.
Have you ever met someone who will drive you all around town just to show an out-of-towner a good time? I know a good number, including the person whose article you're reading.
8. Wyoming is the landscape edition of Sam Elliot.
He only played a Wyoming citizen in three movies and a Netflix original T.V. show.
9. The best beef in the states? That's us.
The only thing we love more than whiskey and the cold tundra that is our state is our Beef. You'll agree.
10. Wyoming is the drinking state with a Cowboy football problem.
Find someone in the state who doesn't know the Cowboy's record. Or Brian Hill's school rushing record. Or that the Mountain West championship game is this weekend, so they've already bought tickets and three bottles of Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey for it.
