Someone might have mentioned the kerfluffle over the elephant that lead to half of the board isn’t talking to the other half. I mean Lobsang just MIGHT need to know the secret handshake and the password. Good grief people, we are here to fight ignorance.
GOOD choice. And here I chose a stupid root beer one. What a maroon I am. Sheesh.
Looks like I’ll be called up to active duty. It appears that Pennsylvania is about to take up arms against Ohio. Haven’t gotten anything official in the mail yet. Or moist…or taxed…
All right. I have no idea what those crazy people were scuttling over to PA for then (other than the inherent wonderfulness of your state). Maybe they were enjoying the tropical humidity?
And Casey1505, I don’t think you want to invade Ohio. Because we have really mean…um…really big, tough… Okay. We are dull. Really dull. Lots of corn, soybeans and cows, least in my part*. You don’t want to invade us. Invade New York. They have ALL kinds of good stuff. Or Delaware. What fun you could have!
*True story. In college, we had this friend from Eastern PA. We were all talking about something and somone mentioned that we were in the Midwest. She was appaled by the very thought. I suspect that the same would be true of any invading Pennsylvanians.
He DID ask for gossip. And I can’t think that many other people would know about this impending war thing. Very gossip-y
Just as a thought, how about some sort of sporting competition instead of the war? It would be a lot cheaper, and might even improve the local economies. I think we Ohioians could manage, as long as we used college athletes instead of the professional ones (since the pros are so awful–at least the Cleveland ones), so that we have a chance. The winner could have something like “PA–Officially kicking Ohio’s butt since ____” on the licence plates. Whatcha say?
Well, you learn something new every day! Thank you for enlightening me. I am not much for the sports, so I had no idea this sort of thing went on up here. I knew that the Carolinas have a football game to determine which state gets to be the birthpace of Andew Jackson for that year, but the OH-PA game is new to me. Thank you again.
Poor Lobsang is going to learn more about football, PA, OH and the like than he ever wanted to know. I guess this is what happens when you ask Dopers for gossip–all these darn facts pop up as people hijack the heck out of your thread. Sorry, Lobsang. I take the blame.
