The other guy -- it's always the other guy, didn't you know that?
Wait a minute, weren't 'Them' giant ants or something?
I'm not so sure it's always the other guy. I'm pretty sure that them were giant ants. But I'm not positive. And who are they?
According to David Letterman, "They" are the Dick Van Patten family of San Diego . . . sorry for introducing any degree of certainty into this thread, but we all know that Letterman is an oracle of wisdom denied mere mortals such as we are . . .
Hoosier ma and hoosier pa that is what I was told hoosier menat while I was in Ohio.

It's a dlowan who is wee-or we?

Cunning Coney, there are two meanings for hoosier that i know of. The simple answer is that this a term applied to people from the state of Indiana. The more obscure answer is that this is a term used by people from St. Louis, Missouri, to describe "hill-billies" or rubes of any description. In the first case, it is a label worn with pride--in the second, it is clearly an insult.
I think we could do with a third hoosier category for Dan Quayle. If we can't arrange to have him appointed archbeacon of Bahston, perhaps Ohio will take him off our hands.
I wonder if he can spell bukeye.
Actually I was aggrandizing your comment touching Letterman's great depth of wisdom.
Oh sure, send him to Ahia . . . wait til i move to Ontario, 'k?
Ahia is where I learned about those hoosiers and in Close Encounters.
The fourth hoosier category is those crazy "hooziers" of Nebraska. If you doubt my claim, just attend one of those hoozier games in Lincoln.
c.i.
Are you sure, I'm waiting until the last sock falls!
I thought hoosier was the beginning of a question--Hoosier your ma? Hoosier friend? Live and loin.
