Regular posting will resume as soon as I think of 20 more funny things to say about Indiana.
I hope I don't get writer's block this bad when I do Iowa.
And don't be offended if I don't respond to e-mail in a timely fashion. It's nothing personal, it's just that I'm up against a deadline here.

What happened to Illinois? I was really waiting for that one! Or have you finished it already? We have LOADS of funny stuff in this state!
The only funny thing I know about Indiana was when darling daughter thought that a cow was a sheep - because hey... it's white isn't it. (how did she ever make it through Purdue?)

Well, the *easiest* way is to go to THIS post:

And say "I'm a link whore"

for Indiana, don't forget Hoosiers, Rudy and the legendary birthplace of yours truly. And you may as well make the case for all the idiot senators/governer pushing daylight savings on a population that not only doesn't want it, but violently disagrees as to what time zone to be on.

If you need help with Iowa, just ask. After driving through it twice this month I have all kinds of fun facts about it.

PX - Yeah, I know about the time-zone thing, but couldn't think of a way to get a decent joke out of it :-(
Rather like MOST of the things I learned about Indiana - it's there, but it's hard to boil down to a pithy set-up/punchline combo.
Contagion - anything that's NOT corn-related?

I happen to know somebody who lives in Iowa, and has lived there since Dec. 1990. And as luck would have it, you know her too.
E-mail me if you need help.

A state of confusion, with the politicians the most confused of all...

Indiana is called the Hoosier state because of the cries of "Hoosier Daddy? Hoosier Daddy?" often heared coming from corn fields.

The official bird of Indiana is the Cardinal, which is a baseball team in Missouri. The name Indiana means "Land of the Indians," which is a baseball team in Ohio.
Although Indiana hasn't had a Major League baseball team since 1889, they have a baseball hall of fame. They are so desparate for members, they inducted:
* Ford Frick, the first commissioner named after a car.
* Wayne Stock, a high school coach named for a gag in a Michael Meyers movie.
* Pinky May, a player named for Fonzie's girlfriend.
* Doc Boulton, named for one of the Seven Dwarfs.
* Odie Barnett, named after Garfield's dog.

Basil - didn't want to go in the "Hoosier Daddy" direction so as to not offend SarahK's delicate sensibilities. She's kind of a fragile flower when it comes to racy remarks.
Anyway, thanks for all the help, everyone. I finished with Indiana (or gave up, same thing) and it'll come out on Monday in the podcast
Director's Cut - Sunday, September 4th here at Bad Example.
Meanwhile, 3 days until Illinois.
