No way we can top that last one, but this is a good way to start:

Despite the wedding band, the kids and his presence in a Rick Santorum music video, that bass player is clearly the gayest dude

[Chet]

how old is that singing girl doe?

magazines: destroying america

[dieblucasdie]

I like that they don't watch TV or read magazines (wait, how do they even know about Santorum?) for fear of being exposed to filth, but they have a youtube channel with open comments

Haha, this was my thinking, too. Man, I see they're from Oklahoma. In case none of y'all have been there, that is the worst place on the planet. I feel bad for these girls.

[jebreject]

Even worse than Indiana and/or Missouri?

[Ignatius]

Whoa whoa Oklahoma is WAY worse than those places.

[elpollodiablo]

I dunno man. Cage match, Indiana v. Oklahoma--that'd be a squeaker.

[Ignatius]

Dunnnnooo... They picked that place out for to send the Indians for a reason, y'know?

[Thermofusion]

Indiana has Hoosiers - that's a good fuckin' movie

[jebreject]

Indiana is definitely the worst place I've ever been

I wasn't a huge fan of Missouri either, but it was definitely better than Indiana

[jm]

I don't know a thing about Indiana, despite having lived kind of next to it all those years.

[Captain]

Sometimes I think people are envisioning Gary, IN whenever they talk shit on Indiana. It's not all like that.

But whatever, I'm a big fan of Indiana. I don't want to get into a thing, though.

[Antero]

One of my good friends was from small-town Indiana.  From his description it was mostly meth and sadness.

Yeah, some of it is like rural Kentucky without the bourbon

I feel like we can say this about a lot of small town areas, though. I hear that a lot about Kansas, too.

I think Southern Indiana can be really beautiful. I've also enjoyed the times I spent in Bloomington. Ultimately, though, I think I just have fond memories of the times I've had there and the people I met. I'll admit, that's not a very objective way to evaluate a place.

And I also admit, I get this peculiar rankle when the people who shit on Indiana are from Chicago. It bugs me the same way it would bug me when NYCers would refer to "fly-over states." But it's all love, Blucas. We should go to Indiana sometime!

[Ignatius]

You don't have to love Indiana to recognize it's better than Oklahoma.

[Thermofusion]

I'm pretty sure I've never been to Indiana, and I don't know anything about it aside from that great Gene Hackman movie, but there's no way in hell it could be worse than the I-40 corridor through Oklahoma

[dieblucasdie]

My anti-IN argument has always been that, while lots of states have either post-urban/post-industrial decay OR depressing small-town methness, very few have both. PA does, but it has Philly. MI does, but I'll take Detroit over Gary and Hammond.

Bloomington's a pretty nice place, I guess, but IMHO it's well below par for "Eh, we have a cool college town! Eh? Eh?"

I've never spent any time in OK.

[Thermofusion]

PA has lots of lovely scenery along the Allegheny Mountains and Pittsburgh is simply the greatest city in America

[Ignatius]

Eh, New York has all those problems, and it's not like the fact of NYC's existence remediates the god-awfulness that is the Southern Tier. BUT, the Finger Lakes do, and y'know, while there's maybe not much between Mishawaka and Indianapolis, surely if you gave a shit you could find something worth doing. But I mean, I'm some kinda pan-midwesternist and seem to find something to like nearly anywhere I end up, so who knows. Except for those two weeks in Waukegan. I guess I liked the fries ok at the little shake shack.

[Captain]

Blucas, I think you're really underselling Bloomington. The music scene alone pushes it beyond "college town." But again, I'm not sure I'm really going to convince you. I just have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about Indiana and so I always feel compelled to register my affection.

[Thermofusion]

Well I love provincial homerism (unless it's coming from someone in a major market in which case it becomes morally repugnant) so, Cap'n: what're the three neatest things about Indiana?
