as a midwesterner, welcome to the normal cool guy club
I just visited the Midwest. It is a land of Dans.
@kevin_cogneto: I'm pretty sure we sell our water to other states already. We just gotta weather this auto industry storm for a little longer and we're rich
I think saying the Midwest is a land of Dans is a bit much; hell even saying most/all of it is like Kansas is a bit much. Here in Ohio it definitely feels a bit different from Pennsylvania but more similar than Kansas. Chicago has to also be different as well.
Not sure I ever considered Kansas a part of the Midwest very seriously in the past, but if people from there say they're Midwest then I'm all for it.
If my choice in activities is firing a WWI machine gun at a cornfield vs. standing shoulder-to-shoulder with smarmy hipsters to attempt to order a ridiculously overpriced drink at "the cool new place to go", it's not even a contest.
It's definitely one or the other. They are also, coincidentally, mutually exclusive. No one can like two things.
First there was Dan Cam...
Then there was Dan Land...
What's next for our intrepid hero!?

Holy shit.
Dan Dan.
As a Nebraskan I'd be curious to know what parts of it you stayed in/places you hung out at. Omaha and Lincoln are very different cities (I'm an Omaha myself), let alone how different they are from the rest of the state.
Lincoln and Omaha are kind of the only cities worth visiting in Nebraska. Both full of cool people from my experience, though Omaha has a lot more going on.
The further west you go, the more the redneck you get.
Why does the rest of the country have this weird disdain for the midwest? Genuine question. I'm from Michigan and totally don't get it.
Like whenever Scott Bromly talks about visiting Michigan on The Comedy Button and he's like deeply offended that people visit Applebee's, we have 4 seasons, or that someone had the audacity to be fat near him. If that's the rest of the country then fuck the rest of the country.
Everybody is just jealous that we have all the fresh water.
And that a good percentage of that water goes into making delicious beers.
I'm not even joking when I say that the primary factor that keeps me living near the great lakes is the fact that basically every political thinktank in the world seems to believe that we're only a few decades away from fighting wars over water instead of oil. I for one welcome the day when wars are fought over water, and the great lakes region rules the world. Welcome to the new Saudi Arabia, bitches! Where the water barons all have bratwurst breath and wear nothing but Zubaz!
(As long as Canada doesn't fuck with us, that is. This is our water, jerks!)

ZUBAZ!
God, I miss Missouri.
That sentence makes me really sad.
@fredchuckdave: That's dumb as hell, but...fuck yeah! go midwest!
