Old guy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Since this is an OT thread and I have never started a thread, here goes an Indiana poem dedicated to our hoosier MBMs: It's winter in Indiana and the gentle breezes blow seventy miles an hour at thiry five below Oh, how I love Indiana when the snow is up your butt, you take a breath of winter air, and your nose gets frozen shut. Yes, the weather here is wonderful, so I guess I'll hang around I could never leave Indiana 'cause I'm frozen to the ground. You could call this "winter farm life in Indiana" if you wish... remember to milk those cows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 @Old guy, now you have started your own thread for the first time. (Just because a thread is "OT" [off topic (i.e., SLU basketball)] doesn't mean that posts in that thread aren't supposed to related to that thread's topic.)

They need to be fed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as a transplant from Missouri, I found it odd that they are quite proud of being called Hoosiers here. If they only knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 People from Indiana have every right to feel that being called Hoosiers is a correct, even respectful term. The word itself may mean something else in different areas, but for someone from Indiana it will always be a reference to their home State. You cannot take the symbolism of a word or an object like a flag, from the minds of people, the connections go deep and will not be changed.

jzstldc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This winter has been particularly bad in Indiana. Lived here almost 10 years and so far only the 13-14 winter was worse. I'm ready for spring!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
