Hometown of Larry Legend under water. Damn this shit. The wife and I have reservations for 2 nights at their casino thursday and friday. The waters better recede and fast!

Side note: Let's see how the white hick town reacts to the issue. That is 30 minutes from where I live. Those fuckers better not attempt to find refuge in my town. I learned from Katrina.

Some of the rivers around here are starting to flood. They’re predicting record flood levels by the middle of next week, and saying that the water won’t recede until mid-April. I believe it has something to do with the lock and dam systems built on the Mississippi River that control river depth for navigation, but slow drainage in the tributaries.

I do not know where these were taken. I'm hoping that they were taken on the "other side" of the boat from where I need to travel from to get to the boat. Or, I can borrow a boat to get tot he boat.

Oh, and we're sitting around 8" of rain now in about 36 hours. Nice.

Hope y'all have flood insurance !

Those photos remind me of Tropical Storm Allison. What a bitch.

Cheap gas prices coming soon.

not to mention the deals coming up on Moo Goo Gai Pan !!

Using square deck screws would have saved you from the flooding.

Out front should have told you.

That, and the 100 inches of snow that are melting off. Hang onto your hat, Goobs.

We had six inches of cement-like snow yesterday and after busting my ass to shovel out the driveway, the sun came out later and melted it away. There was no sign that I had done anything. :?

We're supposed to get more snow this weekend but I might just wait it out and see if it melts. I hate when Mother Nature tries to make me look like a chump.

And why don't your trees have leaves ???

I've heard that Indiana doesn't have a single tourist destination in the whole state.

Is that mathematically possible ???

Brown County is beautiful.

I used to attend the big bluegrass festival every year in Bean Blossum.

Fester is right.

Brown County is verrah nice.

Little Nashville nice too...just outside of Bloomingtom. Lotta shit peddlers. Right up yer alley m2.

And in Bloomington is Oliver Winery. Surprisingly good for Indiana. Having been to Napa, it is nothing like anything you can get there, but for this area, their wine is very good. Scale of 1 to 10 Napa is a 9.99. Oliver is a good 6 on a few of their wines including their port.

I'm a Texas guy and I will say the Messina Hof Port is the best I have had, but Oliver has a deece port.

Good god is it possible that you're even dumber than I remember?

Rain usually comes from clouds. Clouds are generally somewhere between the earth's surface and the sun. Thus it is reasonble to assume that the MASSIVE CLOUD LAYER IN THE PICTURE is obsuring the sun.

And why don't your trees have leaves ???

Those are known as deciduous trees. They're fairly common in Indiana and about 75% of the rest of the country.

I've heard that Indiana doesn't have a single tourist destination in the whole state.

It's true, so stay away.

Is that mathematically possible ???

Math is beyond your feeble reach, don't worry about it.[/quote]

Ok, then.

Well, at least we know this troll will be bright enough to entertain RadioFan.


...and Fester!

Where the hell have you been?

Sounds like a cheap Dinsdale imitation to me.

woah, your taking your wife on a little get away, and your going to French Lick, Indiana? You cassanova, you.

[Zyclone]Actually, it was just a night out to gamble locally (30 minute drive out front should have told ya). We're going to Hawaii (Ko Olina Beach Club) and the Bahamas (Atlantis) this year as our getaways.[/Zyclone]

Poor zy. Those waters are way over his head. He'd be swept away, bal'mer street cred notwithstanding

85 and sunny in SoCal

It's been a while, but I used to call Bedford home. Do they have anything other than dial up within 50 miles of French Lick yet? You must get serious respect back there when you tell those Hoosiers your an ADMINISTRATOR.

War the Paoli Peaks rope hill.

Unwar the White river flooding every 3 or 4 years.

What's that translate to in *rowing time?

Oh, forgot. Midwest.

*Paddlin'

Circa 1982m 83, 84, whatever, a few friends and I went on a Can-U-Trip in McCormick State Park.

I was pretty young, and extremely board with life in the midwest. Long story short, one of my friends went to U of I. He knew someone , who knew someone in the chemistry department that gave him this new drug called MDA. I had no Idea what it was or what it did. We soon knew it as More Descriptive Answers. To this day, whenever I hear a raver go off about how new, cool, or otherwise unique their experience was, I have to laugh. We ended up floating down one of the most picturesque waterways I've ever seen in my life without a care in the world as to how we would get back to our vehichle, eat, or anything else. (Resist the urge to insert your favorite Deliverance scene here, it's too easy.) Anyway, that part of Indiana is highly underrated in regards to natural unspoiled beauty.

There's few things in the world as fun as floating the river while tripping balls.

Never exactly done it while rollin, but have while trippin.


Fuck... now you tell me. I might be getting too old to take Molly on a raft trip. I think I have about every other controlled substance in my resume', though. Nothing like getting pinned under a waterfall while extremely high... keeps the panic level down.

Not been to Bedford, but it is near here.

Have not been to Paoli "Peaks" either. I grew up going to Winter Park, CO twice a year paying $50-$60 for day lift tickets to ski the Mary Jane. The little bump of land called Paoili "Peaks" charges about $70/day and it takes about 90 seconds to get from the top of the bump to the bottom. Now, I am known to pay a little extra from time to time for what I consider the "finer things" but Paoli "Peaks" is not one of them.

You've obviously never been to beautiful downtown Gary. Why just driving on the Skyway, you are treated to the stench of the factories left in a dying, blue collar wasteland. I recommend heading there after sundown.

You can't forget beautiful Merrilville, with its theatres and numerous crappy shops.

I've actually been to Peoria where some dive called "Boss Hogg's" was the happening club at night.

Then, there is a long stretch of I-65 where you can see miles and miles of farms and feel the wind blowing across the fields against your car.

I've never been so happy to see the "Welcome to Kentucky" as when I am driving down through Indiana.

Indiana is the epitome of fly over country.

Rack them. Why should they seek to be a tourist destination? That might mean m2ool would be camped out in a sequin tent on the outskirts of town, trying to shuck his sordid unclean goods onto mouth-breathing rubes - and manning a Castro-trained glory hole through the rear entrance.

If some waddling child of one of the rubes pissed itself, m2ool would be trying to give it a heisman and a crude Ren-crafted Sears Trophy.

Tourism...for what reason, I ask?

and just where is CHICAGO in relation to southern indiana? that's what i thought, tard. southern indiana is as irrelevant as northern wisconsin.

Always thought the sign when you enter Indiana on the highway should read.....

"Welcome to Indiana! We smell like shit!"


The whole drive through that state reeked of manure. I guess you get used to it when you live there.

Oh and Dins try skiing while tripping. Best day on the slopes I ever had.....

I thought Dennis Hopper did one hell of a job representing a true Indianan native in that one movie about basketball.

I don’t know anything about southern Indiana, but northern Wisconsin is a lot of forests and lakes and one very nice strip club. Excellent fishing to be had. Some outstanding restaurants. Big-time tourist destination for the FIBs, especially the CHICAGO FIBs. Have another hit of extasy, there’s still a couple brain cells left to kill.

No, I was right the first time. The whole state is pure flyover country and you will never convince me any differently. Bloomington and Brown County can't make up for a place as irrelevant as everything else in Indiana is.

Goober, I lived in Wisconsin for a number of years and I never truly understood the enmity that Wisconsin has towards Illinois. The whole FIB thing was explained to me by a native but I still didn't get it. Where does the jealousy, I mean hatred stem from? Wisconsin should be glad that Illinois is the next state over simply for the fact that it has Chicago, which has more culture, savvy and things to do than ten Milwaukees. Maybe you can further illuminate the FIB thing for me. I just thought it stupid.

Thanks.

I've never been to Northern Wisconsin, but it sounds a lot like Southern Indiana. By no means was I saying Southern Indiana was a tourist destination. However, it is a beautiful area of rolling hills, forests, fantastic golf, lakes, rivers, etc. I've lived in Dallas. While I like the things living in the city offers, I much prefer the quiet small town.

Vic described Indiana as miles and miles of farms. Yeah, from Indianapolis onward up to Chicago, it is nothing but that. It remided me a lot of the drive from Dallas to Houston. The Southern half of Indiana is a thing of beauty. My perception of Indiana was the same as Vic described...until I came here.

Yes, that was a kick in the face when I first moved here. About 2 weeks out of the year, it smells like shit as soon as you step foot outside. Of course, those living in "the city" have to breathe in smog and all other kind of shit year round.
