Blogger Meetup

by Lauren on 10.21.2005 · 24 comments

I just had a really nice evening hanging out with Ryan, Becky, and Chuck.

Ryan and Becky came through town and were nice enough to introduce me to their lovely birds in the parking lot of the local iHOP.

I have to say, Indiana bloggers are teh rulez.

1 The Liberal Avenger 10.21.2005 at 11:38 pm: Lovely corn and milk fed prairie people, all.
2 Lauren 10.21.2005 at 11:46 pm: Prairie people? Dude, corn.
3 Auguste 10.22.2005 at 3:00 am: Don’t they grow corn on prairies? Man, I’m a city boy.
4 David Thompson 10.22.2005 at 6:14 am: They grow wheat on praries, plus that’s west of the Mississippi. The Old Northwest is corn land, and around here it’s sawbeans.
5 Chris Clarke 10.22.2005 at 9:03 am: They grow wheat on praries, plus that’s west of the Mississippi.

Nope.
6 AndiF 10.22.2005 at 9:22 am: Pendant time. Indiana has very little prairie (just a bit in the northwest corner of the state).

The state was 98% forested before the settlers came and clear cut the land. Leave the land alone and it would go back to forests in a short amount of time (come visit me in Brown County to see how well this works).
7 Linnaeus 10.22.2005 at 10:11 am: Indiana’s license plates used to say “Amber Waves of Grain” along the bottom which I thought was weird because I never saw wheat being grown in Indiana. Which doesn’t mean it’s not, I suppose. I just never saw it.
8 Robert 10.22.2005 at 10:27 am: Meta-pedant time: it’s pedant, not pendant.

I was born in Indiana. I was stalking Lauren before she was born. Now that’s dedication!
9 Linnaeus 10.22.2005 at 10:48 am: Hmmmm…I was wondering why we weren’t talking about jewelry. :)

Hey, good Christian, how about some forgiveness for typos.

I never saw wheat being grown in Indiana

Right time of year you can find winter wheat being grown throughout southern Indiana. During the growing season, it’s a beautiful deep green.
11 Robert 10.22.2005 at 12:30 pm: I’m a bad Christian. That means I get to burn you alive. And be forgiven, too. Score!
12 Linnaeus 10.22.2005 at 12:38 pm: Right time of year you can find winter wheat being grown throughout southern Indiana. During the growing season, it’s a beautiful deep green.

Thanks for the education. That explains why I didn’t see it.
13 AndiF 10.22.2005 at 12:44 pm: I’m a bad Christian. That means I get to burn you alive. And be forgiven, too. Score!

Ah but I’m Jewish and I know God won’t forgive those who can’t get forgiveness from those against whom they’ve sinned. And I have a real talent for grudges.
14 Mark 10.22.2005 at 1:13 pm: I like the Indiana thread, but we are much more than farming… I think. We have football? Ah, we have some other stuff to. Dang, I know we got something else…

:D
15 Linnaeus 10.22.2005 at 1:18 pm: Methinks basketball is more of the classic Indiana sport.
16 AndiF 10.22.2005 at 1:25 pm: We have beautiful forests. See here and here and here

I could give a rat’s ass about football, basketball, or car racing, however.
17 AndiF 10.22.2005 at 1:27 pm: Sorry, third link is bad. Here’s the right one.

good link
18 Linnaeus 10.22.2005 at 1:29 pm: I’ve been to Indiana several times and liked it each time.
19 louise 10.22.2005 at 2:09 pm: In Indiana we have three great universitites__Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame–Eli Lilly, NCAA headquarters, Indianapolis Speedway, the Colts and Pacers, wheat, corn and soybeans, Lauren and a whole lot more!!
20 Lauren 10.22.2005 at 2:30 pm: We have Indiana Beach too! Yee-hah!

(The “amusement resort” has a tagline: “There’s more than corn in Indiana.” Yes, but not by much.)
21 Robert 10.22.2005 at 2:34 pm: Jewish and I know God won’t forgive those who can’t get forgiveness from those against whom they’ve sinned.

Jews believe God can be constrained by human action? Who knew.
22 AndiF 10.22.2005 at 2:55 pm: “There’s more than corn in Indiana.” Yes, but not by much.)

Proposed new Indiana license plate motto: Indiana, yes it sucks but not as badly as you might think.
23 David Thompson 10.22.2005 at 9:26 pm: “Indiana, the Alabama of the Old Northwest (but we mean that in a good way, really!)”
24 Amanda 10.23.2005 at 12:43 am: Man, that’s great. It was a good weekend for blogger meetups.
