Back Again in Ohio!


Before Thanksgiving envelopes us, it's time to recap the adventures of last last weekend (i.e. I'm slow posting, again).

We went to Ohio.

Yes, I know, before you groan you should know that interesting things do happen in Ohio that don't involve corn or poultry. For one, our sister Kelly attends school there at University of Miami, thereby taking the whole state up a notch. And despite our propensity for misadventures, we had a grand old time. Come little bullet points, lead us onward...

*Oxford Ohio has the highest per capita drunk college students of any town within 10 miles. Cold weather, snow, and high quantities of parents roaming campus did not dissuade large volumes of students from running through the streets, taking off their shirts, and screaming loudly until the wee hours of the morn.

*Skating is cool. High school was our last time on the ice, but it all came back to us. And by "came back to us" I mean we were just happy not to fall on our butts.

*Silly hat parties rock. Make sure to throw one as soon as possible.

*Who on earth buys their RVs from "Tom Raper RV Sales"? (http://www.tomraper.com/) I mean, seriously, the guy seems to have the market cornered on the entire southeast Indiana / Ohio area despite the flagrant broadcasting of his felonious-tendencies.

*Ohio is home to one of the most inexplicable 80 foot tall homages to our Lord, ever. Witness, "Touchdown Jesus", found just off the highway outside of Dayton.

*You might need a filler bullet point here to recover from the last one.

*Cracker Barrel is waaaaaaaaaay too popular down there. Seriously, if you want to own a recession-proof business, buy one of these restaurants and plop it down in Anywheresville, Ohio.

Thank you to our dear little sister (and her six roomies) for entertaining us for the weekend. Skate well, study hard, and always go for the touchdown.

You didn't tell me about Touchdown Jesus! I would have driven out of the way to see that work of art.
