Shut Up, Dorothy


I'm watching the [product placement suppressed] Orange Bowl, and wouldn't you know it--a Virginia Tech fan made a sign that says "You're not in Kansas anymore!"

Here's a tip, people not-from-Kansas. If you make that joke to a Kansan, they have heard it before. I don't care if you're talking to a non-English speaker from Dodge City or a four-year-old from Topeka; you will not be the first. (The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939, so that joke must have gotten all the life throttled out of it by 1941.)

In conclusion, stop it.

I thought the sign at the Missouri game that said "Kansas Football: A Tradition Since September" was pretty funny, although I don't know that Missouri can say anything more.

And thanks for the reminder. I was too engrossed in boring caucus crap on CSPAN.

Kansas is so flat you can stand on a pop can and see the whole state. (a soda can, if you live east of the Mississippi)
