Any Hoosiers among us?

Indianapolis area here....

raises a barley stalk in salute;0

Columbus here! About 40 minutes south! However, I recently signed up to SL and have no clue what I am doing. Hope to see everyone around, once I figure out what I am doing. hehe!

Crosby asked me what my name was and what my business was. I told him, and his wife Hazel recognized my name as an Indiana name. She was from Indiana, too.

"My God," she said, "are you a Hoosier?"

I admitted I was.

"I'm a Hoosier, too," she crowed. "Nobody has to be ashamed of being a Hoosier."

"I'm not," I said. "I never knew anybody who was."

"Hoosiers do all right. Lowe and I've been around the world twice, and everywhere we went we found Hoosiers in charge of everything.

"That's reassuring."

"You know the manager of that new hotel in Istanbul?"

"No."

"He's a Hoosier. And the military-whatever-he-is in Tokyo . . ."

"Attaché," said her husband.

"He's a Hoosier," said Hazel. "And the new Ambassador to Yugoslavia . . . "

"A Hoosier?" I asked.

"Not only him, but the Hollywood Editor of Life magazine, too, And that man in Chile . . ."

"A Hoosier, too?"

"You can't go anywhere a Hoosier hasn't made his mark," she said.

"The man who wrote 'Ben Hur' was a Hoosier."

"And James Whitcomb Riley."

"Are you from Indiana, too?" I asked her husband.

"Nope. I'm a Prairie Stater. 'Land of Lincoln,' as they say."

"As far as that goes," said Hazel triumphantly, "Lincoln was a Hoosier, too. He grew up in Spencer County."

"Sure," I said."

"I don't know what it is about Hoosiers," said Hazel, "but they've sure got something. If somebody was to make a list, they'd be amazed."

"That's true," I said.

She grasped me firmly by the arm. "We Hoosiers got to stick together."

"Right"

Hi Mal, I've missed you...where have you been keeping yourself?

Northeast side of Indy....but NOT Fishers!

DK you are so close to Fishers if you farted we could hear it!
I was born and raised in Munster now living in Fishers. I still think of myself more of a Region Rat then a Hoosier
And DK shouldn’t you be mowing?

I’ts Geist! Cupcake.
And what you hear are your taxes going up.
And I finished my mowing thank you.

Yes I thought I saw you out there "worshing" your John Deer

hehe, what's wrong with Fishers???

In the "OTHER" 49 states it is just Basketball but this is Indiana. And if we all hold hands and chant Boomer! Maybe Reggie will come back and make that way again!!!

It’s a suburb of Nobelsville

/me waves to MarieElize

There is nothing at all wrong with Fishers dear
In fact it’s rated as one of the top places to live in the country. Nice schools, neighborhoods, parks. I love it.


Now you’re just being mean!
