1. EXCUSE ME?

[Callalily]

2. I take exception

to that statement!

[EstimatedProphet]

3. I disagree

[DS1]

4. Unless you're some kind of country yokel who LIKES riding to the

convenience store on your lawn mower.

Yes, I've seen an entire family pass before me while riding lawnmowers with shopping bags on the back. In Iowa.

5. Not everyone in the midwest lives in the country.

I live in St Louis,that while not NYC or Chicago it's hardly country. I ride to the store on my SCOOTER!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. ...and Chicago is Midwest.

:hi:

7. Yee haw.

Well gooolllly. I reckon me n' my kin-folk best be gittin in the ol pick up next time we wanna go to town, 'stead ridin' the ol' mower, huh?

Lord. Not everyone in Iowa is a moron. We have our fair share, but I bet you I can find a hick in every state. In fact, if I have my facts correct (and I will look for proof) Iowa has the highest per-capita ratio of college graduates than any other state (at least it was true as of printing time for a book I have printed in 2000).

Hicks indeed.

13. I grew up in Iowa. Never once rode a lawnmower. n/t

[evlbstrd]

6. I walk to the store.

I'm also in an urban area.

[MadHound]

8. 'Scuse me?!

Happen to live in rural Missouri, and am as far from the stereotypical farm dweller as you can get. In fact I feel sorry for you folks who live in some large urban area. Nasty smelling air, noise 24/7, packed on top of each other like sardines, little or no natural beauty whatsoever. Yeah, been there, done that, got the hell out.

9. Is the Buckeye a useless nut?

says this former Ohioan.

[LSK]

10. you got that right!!! gimme a beach or some mountains!!!!

:hide:

[Left Is Write]

11. I respectfully disagree.

[HughBeaumont]

12. Can't lump NE DuhHighAh in this funeral.

Cleveland can be a pretty happening place if you go to the right areas.

[WeRQ4U]

14. Not everyone in rural USA is a cousin-marrying bumpkin....

Rural USA has it's pros and cons. :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. This is a copycat thread.

Take it easy, guys. :)

[ohiosmith]

17. Damn! Why did you tell them? It was just getting good.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. D'oh! My bad, dude!

:banghead:

[IA_Seth]

16. But we are smarter!

Regarding SAT scores:

http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20050830-103030-6569r.htm

"Among the states nationally, Iowa had the highest cumulative score with 1204, followed by Illinois with 1200 and North Dakota with 1195. Georgia and South Carolina each had the lowest score of 993."

19. No way. Been to the Great Lakes?

Try northwest lower Michigan. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Admittedly, not EVERYTHING is great in the Midwest.

[JVS]

21. Bullshit! Being a Grad-student here rocks!

If I were in NY I'd be broken by rent

[ohiosmith]

22. Maybe. But you'd know how to spell.

[JVS]

23. I know how to spell just fine, it's the typing that gets me.

Of course with the money I save on rent, I could hire someone to do it for me.

[ohiosmith]

24. Sorry man. Couldn't resist. Low blow.
