Post #134,173 by Nightowl 1/7/04 8:54:15 PM Reply	The funny thing is... Leaving plastic on furniture and lampshades - might as well have "HOOSIER" tattooed on your forehead. They weren't hoosiers by any stretch of the imagination. They were well to do, lived in a high class suburb, and all. I always viewed hoosiers as backwoods country people.

Post #134,278 by Nightowl 1/8/04 12:03:06 PM Reply	Me too! I like country people. Most of the idiots I know are not country people. I've never even met someone I considered a hoosier... I wonder sometimes if it's a myth made up or something, because all the people I know who live out in the country are the sweetest, nicest people. And I know quite a few!

Post #134,290 by Nightowl 1/8/04 12:40:50 PM Reply	Ah but I see the difference You're talking about hoosiers who live in the city. I just read your description, and see, I've never seen anyone like that in the country. So my statement was I think it's a myth that all country people way out in the boonies are hoosiers. I don't doubt the existence of them, just haven't seen them, in the city OR the country. Nightowl >8# "It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace.

You know, it's "The Hoosier State", and most residents consider being called a "Hoosier" a compliment. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

Post #134,267 by deSitter 1/8/04 11:40:30 AM Reply	Re: Ummm... This is not the Indiana hoosier. This is the Missouri/Illinois hoosier. A sort of meaner, grumpier redneck, often living in the city and not necessarily poor. Live for bar fighting and crystal meth. Often are too drunk and macho to obey stop signs, so have dented, fugly cars that rust fast. Averse to razors. Wear wife-beater t-shirts. Wives wears wife-beaters too and are also averse to razors. Muddy, half-laced work boots. The mud covers the blood from kicking the pit bull. Female hoosiers can be recognized by the fat rolls pouring over the belt loops of their skin-tight jeans, or by the baby vomit on their black halter tops. -drl
