The US Map Of What's Coming To Get You

October 28, 2011 / cartography, fear, i ain't afraid of no ghost (i actually am though is the thing ghosts are one of the few things that actually get me), interesting (but not really not at all), it's the friday before halloween and i've been drinking witch's brew all morning what do you want from me?, learning by looking, map, scary, united states, whatever

What? It's Halloween weekend so this kind of post is appropriate. Although, truthfully, I'd also post this on Christmas Eve and you and I both know it. I keep it real! Also, a constant 72°F because I don't want it so hot that I start sweating, but I also don't want it so cold that my nips get hard because I'll rub them raw through my t-shirt. I...have issues. New AND out of print ones. I'm what you'd call a hot mess. Except it's only 68° in here so I'm actually a cold mess with painful nipples. This is a map of what the citizens of each state are afraid is coming to get them. Me? There's only one thing I'm worried about coming to get me -- the police. Just saying, you know how many skeletons I have in my closet? One -- the triceratops I stole from a museum!
