> [@](#): > > Ike raised the great question of the thread - Why so many Virginians? An unquenchable thirst for knowledge? An incomplete education? Nothing better to do? To paraphrase the Tootsie Pop commercial: “The world may never know.” I think a lot of it is simply nothing better to do here. But another factor for me is that the local people typically are lacking brain-processing power (Trust me, I’ve heard some of the dumbest shit). I find the SDMB a nice place to engage in intelligent conversation, even though I don’t use my brain to its full capacity most the time. 😉 ---

Kenosha Wisconsin, which is about 20 feet or so from the Illinois border. Grew up in Milwaukee though. Since I’m from WI, there’s a few things I’d like to clear up. 1. Not all of us own a cow, nor do we all live on farms. 2. Yes, a lot of US think those cheesehead hats are stupid looking too. 3. (Milwaukee specific) No, I did not know Jeffrey Dahmer. (My mom worked at the same company though. She didn’t know him either.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-locales/29418.md?page=8)
