the grand canyon state to become "the grand canyon state"

since there's nothing better for the state house government committee to discuss they have decided to put something ever so important up for vote, to officially name arizona the grand canyon state. first, i thought we already went over this. second, the funny thing is how they realized nothing was "officially" put in the books (except every book about az nicknaming us the grand canyon state).

apparently nobody knew that it wasn't official until a state historian got a call from a 5th grader in california wanting to know the state nickname. first of all, has this kid heard of google? go try it yourself, type "arizona nickname" and you'll probably see something along the lines of, oh, i don't know the grand canyon state! and second of all, who's stupid enough to do a report about arizona? what's in arizona? "oh, daddy, daddy can we go see tent city, pppllleeeaaassseee?" "no johnny we have better things to see like... tumbleweeds... oohh! i see one, johnny stay here i need to get a picture!"

in other news to be discussed during their next meeting...
"should the bola tie stay the official arizona neckware?"
