We have a new motto! Georgians everywhere are celebrating the news that the state will now promote itself as a "fisherman's paradise" (that's from Gov. Sonny Perdue's State of the State address last week) with the new slogan: Go Fish Georgia.

Perdue plans to spend $19 million to promote fishing in Georgia, including building boat ramps and luring bass tournaments.

As a tourist magnet, "Go Fish Georgia" is not quite up there with "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas." Plus the construction feels strange. Should there be a comma? "Go Fish, Georgia." Or "Go, Fish Georgia."

But even with limited appeal, it beats New Hampshire's sweet come-on "Live Free or Die."

The bandwagon has started to roll, as many players in the state come up with their own related tourist slogans.

Some possibilities:

• Go to Jail If You Jaywalk Atlanta

• Go Sit in Traffic Gwinnett

• Go Have a Ball Sugarloaf Country Club

• Go Nuts Plains

• Go Bust Delta

• Go Drool Cheetah

• Go Whole Hog Bob Nardelli
