Indiana state bird? Sorry, wrong one...

Indiana: We send our the weirdos to Ohio, the hicks to Kentucky, and all the interesting people to Chicago

State pie: Empty pie crust

State food: Pablum

I live in indiana and I have no idea what this guy is on about.

Oh yeah.

When your states not in the toilet, like our neighbors, politicians get time on their hands

Of course!

I vote for this here PIE (new window).

This isn't the first time Indiana has tried to name a state pi. Last time they did, they got it wrong.

/Oh, this is about pie

I believe that's called a Schnitzel....

You magnificent bastard!

Indiana's so boring it makes me cry.

I came here to complain about Indiana since someone from there just won the PowerBall jackpot of $163 mil (making this the umpteenth time an Indianadian has won), and was trying to come up with a way to relate my bitterness to pie, then saw one of the sidebar articles was this and somehow feel better about it all.

I thought the state pie was Danica Patrick.

State snack *has* to be crackers.

This "official state [blank]" business drives me up the wall. I live in North Carolina, birthplace of Pepsi cola, and our state beverage is milk. Right up the wall.

THIS, and FTA:

"Then I could show my state spirit by buying it in taverns, raising a few glasses to the prettiest gal in the place, giving her a friendly tap on the tush while declaring, "Here's to Hoosierland's hotties, honeybuns!" then being beaten senseless by her husband."

HAMMER DOWN BABY!!!!

/AL Jr. is a GAWD!

Is their state motto "The Boring State"? I know water is essential to survival but I didn't realize that made it a beverage. In fact, two of Google's definitions specifically exclude water.

Indiana sucks. It's run by the KKK, the redneck cops will rape you in the ass, the water tastes like arsenic and lead, and there's nothing to eat but feed corn and dirt.

(That's what we want the residents of the surrounding states to think to keep the riff raff out.)

Make fun all you want, but we like it here. So fark off.

As a former Winchestertonian, let me second Wick's pies as the ultimate experience in a crust, and the sugar pie well deserving of the distnction. if you ever get the chance, stop by the Pie Shop and give a slice a twirl. They are all good, but my favorite is butterscotch.

Our state side dish is the venerable Green Bean Casserole

Every Indiana school child is taught to make it in the 7th grade

Uplands down the street. Good place. I recommend the Habenero Burger.

Had a friend move to New York after graduating from IU. Said he couldn't get a fried tenderloin for anything. When he came home recently, I took him to a local spot to get one. You would think it was sex on a bun. Well, I guess the only time sex with a porker is alright.

I lived in Columbus, IN for about three years. I've never encountered blatant racism or the KKK or anything ridiculous like that, though the minorities seemed to only go out on Fridays and Saturdays to Caddies. If there was more stuff to do, I might have stayed. But Cummins really didn't have that much appeal.

Eating pork at all is a fox paw in NYC. First, it's such a Jewish place, even down to the subconscious. You don't even think of it as good eating.

Second, and probably more important, it reminds them of the Midwest. They don't like being reminded of the Midwest.

That tenderloin isn't a true Indiana tenderloin till you put the cole slaw on it.

Our boring public image is a cover for the raging, undercover, crazy-farking-wild life we live after the sun goes down and we finish feeding the livestock. I mean, we have meth labs, pork tenderloin, the Amish, high school basketball, and occasionally more than one drinking establishment per town. Wild and crazy right here.

Driving through it takes farkin' forever..and dammit..there's NOTHING there..

Dyhydrogen Monoxide is a dangerous chemical, found in our bathrooms and our kitchens. It is used in many foods. Produce companies spray their produce with it. It comes out of our faucets, our showers and it is in our toilets.

It causes frequent urination, sweating. In excess it can cause nausea, cramps and even death.

Please, please, please, call your representative to get this dangerous chemical banned.

I saw the same History Channel show he did. He seems to have forgotten we've needed to buy about 80 new calendars since those times.

What are you talking about? I have never seen cole slaw on a tenderloin and I grew up in Jackson County. I do believe you are trying to confuse people on the true beauty of an county fair tenderloin.

UnoriginalAndrew: Indiana's so boring it makes me cry.

You should probably stay away. You big city kinda folks just stink up the place anyway.

In New Jersey the state bird is the finger.

I tried to explain the Hoosier definition of "tenderloin" to my friends in Connecticut. They didn't believe me until I showed them a picture, then they all wanted one.
