Ask the person from a small town in Southeast Kansas!

Oh I’m a total K-State fan! It has mostly to do with the fact that I’m going to be a vet, and K-State has one of the best vet schools in the country.

No annexation! Ban all annexation! But if it happens, it’s all good. I’ll be long gone by that time!

And I’m so glad that someone likes my thread! Maybe you’ve never seen me around because I just recently changed my name from Blink178 - even though I never posted much!

With apologies to Nelly Forbush,

How corny is it in August?

There are forests in Kansas?

Any mountains?
What’s the racial makeup of the population of Kansas? of your town? …as far as you can tell?

What’s the biggest city in Kansas? Have you been there? Have you been to a bigger city out of the state? If so, how do the two compare?

I find myself oddly curious now this thread exists.

Well it’s pretty corny here in August. It’s pretty corny any time of year actually.

Yes Kansas has forests - not a lot, and the forests are not pretty, but there is a lot of wilderness here.

No we don’t have mountains, but parts of Kansas are pretty hilly.

Not sure about the racial makeup of the entire state. Where I live its predominately white, probably about 5% black, 5% mexican, and a smaller percentage of others.

The biggest city is probably Kansas City or Wichita. Topeka, the capital, is pretty big too.

My town is pretty hickish, LOST of hunting and fishing around here.

It must be very hickish if people get LOST going hunting and fishing! :smiley:

Have you heard Campfire Kansas by The Get Up Kids?

If so, do you like it and can you relate?

TGUK are from KC. Missourans or Kanasasians?

Is everything in black and white over there?

Do you have lots of tornadoes?

Do you like the Wizard of Oz?

Why isn’t your state pronounced Kansaw, or is Arkansas wrong?

What’s the best reason to come to Kansas?

What’s the best reason to go to Kansas City?

What’s the best movie about Kansas?

What is the newspaper for Kansasians?

If someone from Japan moved to Kansas and they had kids with a Kansasian, would the kids be Kansasian-asians?

Does it snow in Kansas?

What’s it like living in the middle of a continent? Have you ever seen the ocean? What do you do in summer when it’s really hot and you want to check out members of the opposite sex in little clothing?

I notice that Kansas is a pretty non-distint shape. Does this cause problems for graphic designers designing logos for Kansas based businesses?

Has there ever been a sitcom based in Kansas?

If you could change one thing about SE Kansas, what would it be?

or rather, non-distinct

gex gex,

No, I haven’t heard that song, but I do like The Get Up Kids

KC is basically on the Kansas-Missouri border. Technically it’s in Missouri, but here in Kansas, we like to claim it for ourselves I guess.

We live in color, but parts of Kansas are pretty dang old-fashioned.

We just had a tornado in our area a few weeks ago, killed 2 people I think. I have never seen a tornado, but they’re fairly common I would say.

I don’t particularly like The Wizard of Oz, it doesnt have that much to do with Kansas really.

Kansas was named from the Kansa Indians, I don’t know why Arkansas is pronounced the way it is.

The best reason to come to Kansas? It’s got to be the friendly atmosphere, especially in smaller towns like mine. Everyone is nice to strangers and everyone waves.

Kansas City has great shopping centers, lost of stores and malls.

Well we get the Wichita Eagle and the Kansas City Star, along with our local newspaper thats about 8 pages long.

Ant the correct term for someone from Kansas is “Kansan”

We just got 6 inches of snow the day before yesterday. About a month ago we also got around 6 inches. Kansas weather is WEIRD. One day it’s snowing, the next day it’s 75 degrees, and that’s the truth.

Kansas is basically in the middle of nowhere, a good 6 hour drive from anywhere of real interest. I have been to the ocean 3 times.

If you wanna see members of the opposite sex in little clothing when it’s hot, just walk around the block and I’m sure you’ll see all you need to see.

Kansas isn’t totally rectangular, the top right corner is jagged, so it’s pretty easy to distinguish. Kansas has no state pride, so no business in their right mind would use the state as their logo. The Kansas flag was recently voted the ugliest flag out of all the 50 states!

I don’t think there’s been any sitcoms based on Kansas. I mean, there are much more exciting places than Kansas, right?

If I could change one thing about Southeast Kansas, I’d want it to be just slightly more urbanized. So maybe I can go shopping right here in my hometown instead of driving 2 hours to Kansas City.
