They funny thing is that no one west of the Mississippi thinks Ohio is in the Midwest. We may let you go by the Industrial Midwest, but most of us refer to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin as the Great Lakes region. Minnesota can go either way.

i dont doubt it!

Funny thing is that I don't think anyone east of the Mississippi thinks of Ohio as anything other than the Mid-West ;).

(I mean it was the Mid-West after the Revolution and anything acquired after that is West ;))

12 posts since this and nobody has mentioned that Oregon/Salem & Washington/Olympia are swapped?

Man, I guess the PNW really is off the radar for most folks...

I'm surprised President Obama hasn't posted that it's missing 8 states.

But what about the capital of Mississippi?

Usually, the Northern parts have cooler temperatures. You're welcome.

Mississippi you say? They don't count...It took them till this year to ratify the 13th amendment...

I thought that made my post particularly funny, but no one seemed to notice lol

I second this, my brother lives in Houghton and I have made 2 summer "journeys" there where we went out hiking, camping and fishing and I just got away from the rigors of life.

I make fun of Detroit, well, because it's Detroit. Not because it's in Michigan. :)

Preach on, brother! Amen!

Awesome. :)

For cryin' out loud, can we stop arguing about states and get back to arguing about things like "whether a picture of a woman in a swimsuit should be considered a cool picture" please?

Looks like they have it right: M.

This is what we've been reduced to. Welcome to 1984.

I've been in a sports black hole for the past 36 hours or so... looks like I missed a good one.

That's Mississippi City, thank you very much.

38" curly fry

Hey, that's almost as long as my...

tapeworm?

That looks like it came from a big ass blackhead...ewww

That's a pretty stark contrast to

Beyonce approves

I heard Beyonce's agent has asked all news outlets to remove the pictures of Sandra Bullock.

phew, glad bullock in couture is safe to post

I dig ScarJo's reaction there.

Kind of like "really, here right now? Definitely later in private though."

At least in my head.

LOL!
Boom......boom......boom......boom......boom......boom......boom......boom......Flash......ahah......savior of the universe.

You can't imagine how much I enjoyed that in college. I must've listened to the soundtrack for 6 months straight.

.

I suddenly have a whole new.....perspective....on things...

I'm totally going to do that velociraptor thing...

Mark Twain shirtless.

Wait...Liberace was gay?

Wait, Liberace was a guy?

Who is Liberace and why is Matt Damon wearing makeup?

Liberace is the name for anyone who is a liberal licorice eater

I thought Soderbergh's Side Effects was his last movie?

Lincoln's second inaugural address days before he would be killed. I didn't know about this pic until I watched the Killing Lincoln special that Tom Hanks just did.

Bathroom trips on shrooms are really an experience. Of course, one should make sure they're really in the bathroom.

They Might Be Giants references FTW.

FTL

QS must have had his ass kicked by Triangle Man.

Grateful Dead concerts on shrooms are an experience.

I love coincidences.

As a part of my work, I have to sometimes listen to political proceedings - lately, the tech has arrived so I can do so from my office, rather than in person, that's a great advance.

Today, as I listen to live proceedings... who is the guest? The fucking Mayor of Istanbul. (Not Constantinople)

(by the way, my quarrel above was just with the suggestion that the song is from the 90s rather than the 50s, a minor quarrel -- big TMBG fan here in any case)

I don't see any suggestions that the song is from the 90s.

Well yeah, on a much less confined and scary level. I must have been stuck in a bathroom for about an hour once with the medicine cabinet open watching my face reflect a million times in the big wall mirror above the sink.. I got lost in that whole world, opening and closing the mirror and trying to come to terms with my limited ability to multiply myself in an unreachable dimension where every one of me looked slightly different than the last.

I played the hell out of that cassette back in the day.

Can you dig it?

Apparently real.

I like drawing pictures on my kids lunch bags when I make their lunches at night. What pics should I draw for them tonight?

Here was last night:

Pumpy

Get your bread out of the refrigerator. Blech.

That's gotta be good for at least 89 days worth.

Jake (Adventure Time), Darwin (Gumball), Eduardo (Foster's), Femlin.

How do I draw that?

+- on that relationship is end of the week.

A woman's just got to know not to screw with a man's ice cream. :D

I disagree. I think he's got her right where he wants her.

Holy crap! I just found the female version of shorty/korme.

So I'm going to guess the last one was yours?

My 14 year-old's. We try to instill important values in our children through character-based role modeling.

I was in an packed elevator last night, we all squeezed in and when the doors closed it revealed that somebody had drawn a huge "dick and balls" on the inside of the doors. Judging by the amount of hilarity and sniggering (not just from me), I would suggest drawing cartoon winkies on their bags.

And now, a picture:

I don't really know the first one (seen the commercials but not the cartoon), profanity, commercialism, and misogyny? :thumbsup:

Has to be Louisiana. I don't recognize it, so it may not be the NOLA area, but I would be shocked if it were not somewhere in Louisiana.
