What is it with Indiana?

Post by Jadeite »

It seems a lot of the Village Idiots and other "Negative Titles" have been from my state. Sure, three of them where partly my fault, but its still just sort of odd.

What do they spray on corn?

Insecticides.

And what do insecticides do?

Get into our drinking water.

Give us brain damage, it would seem.

Indiana is one of the most depressing states I've ever been to. Even driving through it manages to make me feel like shit. They could just take down all the signs telling you how close you are to Gary; the smell is more than enough of an indicator.

To be fair, you are talking about the Gary area. Get closer to Indianapolis and it's not so bad.

Indianapolis is a pretty nice city. Gary is a little demiplane of hell.

Indy is one of my favorite cities. It's a semi-large city, but it's nice and clean.

Well, I might be an ass too if my state's slogan was "The Crossroads of America." :D


Driving through Indiana is so much fun. Nothin' but RV dealers and adult video stores. Wheee!

I'm in Indiana and I don't have a negative title.

Must be something that affects only those in central and northern Indiana. :mrgreen:

Indiana...Indiana....


I vaguely remember that state having had some sort of significance in US history. If there is none, that could be it.

You'd think the farmers would realize the sun is going to be up the same ammount of time no matter what, but they have yet to.

Next to Kansas, Indiana has the worst drivers in the country, in my experience.

When I think of Indiana, the aroma of pig farms comes to mind. That and bad roads.

*Falls over*

The crops get the same amount of light per day whether the farmers have to get up an hour earlier or not. :P

The hick parts of Ohio are pretty bad, too. They flock to our mall in the summer, and can't seem to grasp even the simplest of roadway rules.

But you're right about Indiana drivers. I damn near fall asleep when I drive up near Detroit due to lack of idiots to watch out for.
