New Fork - hey, I'm trying to save money here, what do you mean reusing my plastic fork is unsanitary?
New Work - hooray, MORE work
New Cork - either discussing the manufacture of champagne bottle seals, or making a new, better version of the Irish city...or manufacturing those seals IN the new, better version of the Irish city
New Zork - it's been 43 years but it's time for this classic text-only game to make a comeback

The Stunk Train - same difference, honestly
The Skink Train - I've had it with these lizards on this train
The Skank Train - is OnlyTrains a thing?

Channel power outage - somehow the waters of the English Channel have become deionized and unable to conduct electricity

Ontario's fleeing 1920s county highway system - why did they run away?
Ontario's fleecing 1920s county highway system - boy, this is really expensive

And some older threads from this forum:

Wearing a puppy - that sounds inhumane
Finding the right witch band - I'll get you, my pretty, and I'll play a mean guitar solo, too
Funding the right watch band - hey, I'm not cheap, I'm frugal
Finding the tight watch band - why is my hand turning blue?
AARoads topics in 1919 - why are these crazy states giving highways numbers?

American Tricks - possibly related to the Skank Train?
American Cricks - ouch
Hooping cough - sorry, I'm allergic to basketball
Public changings - okay, maybe this one is a bad idea

Stores of interstates - NCDOT is going to have so many you can just go buy them

I prefer to read that as meaning NCDOT just has a big storehouse full of Interstates, and every so often they bring one out and slap it down.

(Incidentally, I know someone who calls Allen wrenches "the crib tool" because the only thing she's ever used them for is putting together baby cribs.)

I was thinking more along the lines of a literal New Pennsylvania, not a 501(c)(3). But good to know someone's at least working on the branding.

I brought up New Hork.

I brought up New Hork.

You probably have a belly button too.  What does that have to do with your question about New Pennsylvania?

A rhetorical question -- something I have been wondering about since I lived there in the 1970s.

Four U.S. states have the word "New" in their names.
They are:
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- New York

The Spanish established the colony of Santa Fe de Nuevo Méjico in 1598.  The name if I recall correctly had something to do with the Seven Cities of Gold which were then rumored to be nearby.  The name stuck through the Mexican and American periods.
