oh, btw

Great Plains are nothing more than the western edge of the Midwest. They are not a separate section of the country.

Indiana isnt the midwest? Im pretty sure where I live is the midwest.

Colorado and west is the WEST
Missouri and Kansas are the midwest. Everything east of the Mississippi is East.

then you have the south and the north, the northeast and the northwest, the southeast and the southwest

Midwest is Kansas, perhaps iowa, Illinois, but definitely not indiana.

PA/NY/MA and the rest of the northeast and mid-atlantic states are the East. WA/OR/WY/CO and such are the West. Everything in between but north of, say, the Ohio River (or equivalent lattitude), is Midwest. Esp. considering most of Indiana is on Central time!

Simple :)

10. You can bring Coke into my house but it better be brown, wet, and
served over ice.

Or, bring some anhydrous tanks and some rat poison over and we'll make some crank

Huh? I thought most of us were on EST, and some of us follow DST (not in my area, though). Perhaps I should google a timezone chart or something. :confused: ;)

Indiana is challenging your lead in that department. :( :Q

we saw Bambi. We got over it.

I believe that should go "We shot him."

Actually it should be "We saw him, shot him, and make deer jerky out of him. And it was damn good jerky too.".
