REBLOG IF YOU’RE FROM KANSAS!
(Source: queenlion)
I was back home in Kansas all last week and noticed that the truck parked in front of our neighbor’s house had a big metal nutsack on the back of it. Here’s me expressing my thoughts on the subject at 5AM Saturday night/Sunday morning.

A quote from @djjazzyjeff215 | Kansas has enough going on, we don’t need to deal with Missouri’s BS now, too…
"i guess…Kansas Just don’t Understand…lol"
A quote from Dr. George Tiller, who was shot and killed outside his church this morning. (via stephbarnard:dustindeckard)
"I have more to be grateful for than I have to be resentful about. We have much more support in Wichita than we have rejection and castigation. If Wichita and our community did not want us to be here, I wouldn’t be here. But the vast majority of people in Wichita support, on a quiet level, what we do, which is help women and families."
Happy birthday, Kansas!

I love my home state (especially when I’m not in it) but this brings the lulz.

Is this a justifiable question for someone to ask or just dumb?
dumb. fucking dumb.
Once, I had this conversation:
Person: Where are you from?
Me: St. Louis.
Person: Oh wow! I’ve always wanted to go to The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Me: Me too. That’s actually in Cleveland.
Person: Yeah, I know. [Pause.] St. Louis is in Cleveland, right?
I may or may not know someone who reads this blog who asked me if Kansas was in Texas when I first them.
But that’s okay, we’re even. I’m fully prepared to admit I didn’t know Wales was a country until I moved to the UK. LOL
**Cue the “Wales didn’t know either” jokes in 5, 4, 3, 2…](http://28.media.tumblr.com/qsncwo34Misuvr0gBysqMBXDo1_400.png)

Best Proposal Ever
Holy crap I did not know this bit of awesomeness…
IMDB’s How I Met Your Mother Trivia:During one episode, Robin freaks out in a restaurant when she mistakenly thinks Ted is proposing to her after she receives a champagne glass with an engagement ring at the bottom. When Ted tells her “That’s not mine”, another gentlemen at the table behind them says “It’s mine”, then proceeds to propose to the woman at his table. The proposal between the man and woman was real. The man set up the whole scheme with the show’s producers, and told his girlfriend that they won a contest and got to be extras in a HIMYM episode. Instead, he proposed on camera, and the proposal will live on forever as part of the episode.
I only knew about this because the girl in question is from my hometown. I keep meaning to ask her about it on Facebook. LOL

Use this site to see which businesses in your state contributed to support prop 8. From the site:
“These businesses have the right to support whatever ballot measures they want, but fair-minded citizens of all sexual orientations also have the right to take their money elsewhere and not patronize businesses that support bigotry. This site is not a witch-hunt but is a tool intended to help people make informed decisions when they shop for products and services.”
I support this.
I also support this.
I cosign also.
The funny thing is that when I checked for Kansas I found out there’s only one guy listed and he’s a doctor in Winfield.
RANDOM FACT: Winfield, KS is the fictional hometown of Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island.
