We do? I've been calling Ohio "the Florida of the North". Mostly because "Ohio Man" and "Florida Man" may as well be the same person in a different hat, "Texas Man" is his own distinct brand of batshit.
Pennsylvania is given a similar distinction.
hey, I resemble that remark!
Floridians refer to Ohio as North Alabama.
well I suppose that one moniker, that with which we refer to the parts ~~the light doesn't touch~~ known as Pennsyltucky, sounds positively delightful by comparison then
I can tell you I'd definitely rather be in Pennsyltucky than North Alabama, but neither one is what I would call particularly enthralling tourist destinations nor hidden gems among the hills. Unless you count Deliverance or Children of the Corn as a hidden gem, which, I mean fair to you, great films, not how I'd want to spend a weekend.
And now, just to really fuck with you: Ohio has breached containment. Ohio is in the Vice Presidency, and will be at the wheel if Trump dies. You may have realized this already, but if you haven't, if that doesn't make you shiver a bit, I don't know what will. I am very ready for the Trump state funeral, I am very much not ready for The Adventures of Couch-Loving Ohio Man With the Nuclear Football.
