	Interesting how, with only one exception, they all start with either A or O.

	I got Augusta, Maine with five seconds to go. Pathetic since I lived in Maine for nine years.

I was wasting time looking for the city in NM, and it's not even the capital!

I dedicate this perfect score to the Animaniacs state capital song!

	Nah, Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, not Augusta...d'oh!

	Surprisingly difficult.

	Where's Acramento, Arson City, Aint Paul, and Oenix? :P

	defineexistence:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 00:21 GMT	22 points
	^I'm not sure, but I've heard it's very hot in Arson City.

	@PK9: Yeah, and Oston, Massachusetts is misspelled!

	I'm annoyed by people who say "the quiz was too long, got it in 45 seconds."

	I stared at the screen...KNOWING the capital of Washington began with a vowel...still couldn't come up with it. So stupid!

	@Jerdoggiedog: Problem with that is, it takes the fun out of it. It's the same problem with cheating at board games. Where's the fun in that? You might as well play against stuffed animals. For Sporcle, coming up with the answers before you start the timer takes the challenge out of it, and the challenge is what attracts people in the first place. Of course, too short a time limit can be frustrating instead of fun.

	So I start typing, Alabama, Alabama, ALABAMA, ALABAMA, OHIO, ALASKA WHY THE **** ISN'T IT WORKING?! facepalm Gotta learn the read the title of the quiz sometimes....

	prockstar83:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 07:49 GMT	2 points
	So many A and O words. I almost had a vowel movement.

	jfeigen06:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 08:48 GMT	6 points
	Pretty sure that "Austin, Massachusetts" reference from the post with -8 points was a reference to a part of the movie Road Trip. Really obscure though, not surprised with people marking it down.

	FIGO:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 14:00 GMT	7 points
	@jfeigen06: At least somebody got it

	deuce221:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 18:58 GMT	3 points
	^On that note, why did @someonerandom get voted down? He/she just pointed out that there's mostly A's and O's. shrug

	Curse you Annapolis!

	Recently decided to learn the American Capitals for no reason. So this was good fun. Clock finished halfway through typing Augusta. :(

	Bryan1004:	Sep 15th, 2011 at 22:47 GMT	2 points
	I really like this quiz because first you need to think of what the state capital and then it takes you another second or two to process whether or not the first letter is vowel.

	@FIGO, I knew where you were going with that. "Are you here for the feeding?"

	@defineexistence: ROTFLMAOLIFOAIHTGTTEMTGISBOINPTSA(Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off, Literally, It Fell Off, And I Had To Go To The Emergency Room To Get It Sown Back On, I'll Never Poop The Same Again). That might have been the funniest joke that I have read on Sporcle ever.

	For the most part, I got the capitals in the order of least gotten right to most gotten right. Funny how you're mind works sometimes.
