"Classicman gives an answer that would have been correct hundreds of years ago" is always funny.

Question 23. Name a state whose name both starts and ends in a vowel or consonant (i.e. not Delaware or Illinois).

Venusian

I almost said Mittal but didn't want to screw up the spelling

frenchy

I gotta try to at least stay in the negative. That will be a victory at this point, which shows how low I've sunk.

The Bus

Is the letter Y a vowel or a consonant?

The Bus

Kentucky: (5) arminius

Venusian

i'd say consonant, but since i didn't put kentucky, let's go with vowel

JasonF

As used in "Kentucky" or "New Jersey," a vowel.

Nick Danger

Both. It's a vowel in Kentucky, but a consonant in Yonkers.

As the last letter in the name of a state, it always is pronounced "ee", so it's a vowel.

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis (8): Rockmjd23

She's 11th, buddy. But 1st in your heart, apparently.

orangecrush

Please Lord, do not let Mr. Obama die.

Mordred

Man If I had known when I left for vacation 12 days ago that I would come back and hyper sheep would still not be over, I would have entered.

Tsar Chasm

I would say that Joe Biden is probably the safest man in the country. Nobody wants Nancy Pelosi to be next in line. So we could probably save a few bucks on his Secret Service detail.
