What do you think when you hear "Maryland"?

[Arseface]

So, I hit "Maryland" on Wikipedia when I was looking for info on the suburb of Newcastle, in New South Wales, AKA a moderately sized city which is home to two successful rock bands and a burgeoning coal industry.

And the US Maryland page came up. And I went, what the f***? What does the US Maryland have going for it? I don't know a damn thing about it, or anything important that it does. I read its page and, yeah, it didn't do much for it. So I have no idea why "Maryland" automatically goes to the US one.

So that's my question. Which one do you think of? And where are you from? I made a poll, but you should probably post it in your post, too.

Obsiously, I'm a Melbournian and I think of Maryland, New South Wales. Melbourne is due southeast of Newcastle, and I am interested in the rock music scene and the coal industry. So that might have something to do with it.

I think of the chocolate chip cookies! Om nom nom.

Yup - cookies or Chicken Maryland.

Oh, and Walker.

 

[Azer249]

Cookies.

 

[Arseface]

I feel as though I should have put another poll option for the cookies, but I've never heard of them

 

[Quentin Locke]

Definetely cookies. Double choc chip ftw!

 

[Dark Drakan]

Definitely cookies (added poll option).

i think of those times when you aren't sure if something is a personal attack against someone or a joke.

in a nutshell cookies.

I instantly thought of the US state. I didn't know exactly what it was but I thought: "Hey, isn't that some place/thing in the US?". I guess I must have heard it in a movie or TV show. Or the news. Probably that. Could even have been some university or something. States take preference over moderately-sized cities anyway.

I have heard of the Australian Maryland however until your post I knew nothing of it really. And now I'm craving cookies...

I thought of a parody of another thread series.
Who is 'What do you think when you hear [blank]' and why is he awesome?

 

[Noctus]

Seconded on cookies, despite me not liking cookies.

Wow, I really am a bitter person...

 

[Angel]

Aw, you edited in the cookies option after I voted Other...

 

[Purple Nurple]

Cookies. Straight-up.

 

[Dark Drakan]

Aw, you edited in the cookies option after I voted Other...

I also changed it to multiple votes for that reason.

 

[Angel]

Schweeeeeeet

 

[HobbeBrain]

COOKIES.

I think there's something nagging at the back of my mind too...

Probably a flea.

 

[Angel]

Ooh! sounds like dessert to me, Hobbe
