Hmm... "Calimaine" sounds like a lotion.

But why not "Washida"?  While we have our problems up here in the 
Pacific Northwest, I am mildly displeased at having to be associated 
with Florida in the first place and more so with them getting top 
billing.  :P

(For the record, I am a Washingtonian who lived in Florida for several 
years, so I have experience with both states, notwithstanding a 
childhood spent in Kansas, Misery [sic], and briefly New Jersey.  There 
are few US stereotypes I have not yet had to contend with.)
