OM fan: Huh, look at that. Sky's blue...

State fan: 17 you *******, that ain't blue it's 17ing green.

It's just... really odd and sad.

Comparing the two statements "This is our time" with "This is OUR State" in a vacuum means, remove all context, inference, suggestion, innuendo or implications about the statements and their origins or applications and view them strictly from a letter and words view point. Imagine a bushman from Africa learns English for the first time and has absolutely zero innate knowledge of anything American, at all. Have him read the two lines above and ask him if they are similar. If he's learned the alphabet, syntax, punctuation and grammar properly, he'll agree that they are similar.

One of the best parts about all this stupid **** is that some state fans think you're the first to use "billboard smack" or "this is our"... The question is, after you step back and take 30 seconds to rationally think about it, do you still believe that? Please tell me my sarcasm meter is broken

I know what 'in a vacuum' means. I was arguing against all that other blather that came before it... "meaning is almost identical", "They are VERY related", etc.

As Vince Vaughn once exclaimed.... Erroneous! Erroneous on both counts!

So either you were trying to say there was some connection between the two phrases, or you we're making some long-winded, meandering attempt to say that the slogans have a lot of the same letters. One is wrong, the other is obvious and irrelevant. Either way, I would advise to think before you type.
