Title: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: MattGSX on March 22, 2007, 04:12:26 PM: Are there any other midwesterners here?

nwbell, I know you're Minnesota, but I don't know about anyone else.

I'm thinking like, WI, MI, MN, IL, ND, SD, IA, MO.

Also, a general area of where you are is cool. So:

I'm in Wisconsin, in the Fox Valley area (about 2 1/2 hours from Chicago, an hour from Green Bay). GO!

I'm here because I'm broke as all fuck, so its back with livin' at the 'ole homestead.

Also, Ohio east of Columbus is Mid-Atlantic to me.

Something Awful has something to say about the Midwest today as well, coincidentally.

I know Poland is the Mexico of Europe. You can figure everything out from there.
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: splynt0r on March 23, 2007, 09:38:32 AM: There is a German saying that goes : " You want to go to Poland on Holiday? Well your car is already there " ;D Yeah i guess Poland is the Mexico of Europe, But they have food there that doesn't give you diarrhea ;D

How many corpses have you smelt recently?? :-X
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: MattGSX on March 26, 2007, 10:33:20 AM: Trust me, I know what death smells like. It's remarkably like Gary in that just-evacuated-my bowels and the microbes have turned against me sort of way.

You have to be kidding. Gary is all about steel, man.
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: silentneep on March 26, 2007, 03:27:38 PM: You're right. It's completely uncommon for cities with economies that are mill-driven to have more than just one. How stupid of me.

I ask because a paper mill makes that kind of stink that Matt was talking about. Steel mills make a funky smell, but nowhere near as bad as paper. Just look at Palatka.
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: MattGSX on March 27, 2007, 02:24:29 PM: I'm pretty sure Gary has both. It may be a big place for steel, but the fact is that it's an almost entirely industrial city. I'm familiar with paper mill smells. Kimberly-Clark, Georgia Pacific, Menashacorp, and Appleton Paper all have production plants within an hour or two of me. There's a reason Oshkosh has the moniker Sawdust City.

You get a leet for that.
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: Nod on March 29, 2007, 08:51:14 PM: Terre Haute smells like that too. I'm from the Southern-most (Southern-most is hyphenated right?) section of Indiana. Where there's nothing but fields and farms. Indianapolis is as far north as I've been in Indiana.
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: MattGSX on March 31, 2007, 10:43:13 AM: So does all of Indiana just smell horrible? Where is this awful smell coming from?
Title: Re: Phonelosers in the Midwest?
Post by: Nod on March 31, 2007, 01:51:58 PM: The South Western portion has pretty clean air. The only foul smells are when you drive by animal farms (Not the communist one, just raising animals.) and such. The rest is green acres and open skies. I miss the country.

Wow, I just kinda disappear for a month or two, and yet people still remember me? I'm touched (or is that just murd0c sneaking up behind me again?)

Minnesota FTW! And 'Sconnie for fireworks and bars that are open Sundays!
