Not sure, 'Pad.  I'm leaning towards getting tickets for next year's Maui Invitational, which includes KU, Duke, Tennessee, Memphis, UCLA, Georgetown, Michigan and host Chaminade.

OT about being a kansas though, how many times do you get asked about dorothy and stuff when you're in new york or cali or somewhere? too many really. i'm always like "oh wow. that's a pretty good one. first time i've ever heard it. good job."  :facepalm:

Although I'm annoyed by the question, I try not to let on, because you know that's not polite, and politeness is what the midwest is built on.  Ussually I play it off and say something like "Yeah Dorothy is my great Nana, we still have the ruby slippers at my house!  ;) "  Whoever I'm talking to usually enjoys a nice laugh with me and knows I'm just joshin' around!

lol. no it's not. it's more fun to laugh at the people who think they are laughing at you. was once in vegas at some kind of food court and someone was getting chinese food. some older ladies were in front of us and were rolling that we were from kansas. one was "i bet you don't have places like this there do you?" and i was all "what? mall foodcourt chinese restaurants? nope. sure don't. this is really something."

I told a waitress in Baltimore I was from Kansas and she asked me if I drove a tractor.  I said, sure do, it's parked at the airport in Kansas right now.  I'll drive it home tonight.  She said, "cool!!!".   :facepalm:

you're a rough ridin' idiot who would benefit from being from kansas and travel to locations such as tulsa and oklahoma city.  not everyone chews cud and goes fishing with a stick and a string/hook and worm, no bobber or waders, sinkers, etc.  LMAO

What if you're from hayseed territory, but you move out to somewhere, like, say... Portland, Oregon?  Do you just tell the truth then?

Was with a group of friends visiting University of Denver to see other friends.  We went to a couple house parties, and when they asked where we were from we responded Kansas. Got some weird looks, so we responded "We're the baseball team, our coach wanted us to train in high altitude." They were all like 'Oh really! that's awesome'. Worked like a f*cking charm.
