• in other news on the site...
• and this from Roll Call's Heard on the Hill: When HOH called Hostettler's office to find out what the Congressman had against 69, his press secretary, Michael Jahr, shrieked and said, "This is driving me nuts! I've been getting calls from all over the place." CBS radio in Dallas called. So did a station in Detroit, and another in Fort Wayne, Ind., not to mention one in Austin, Texas. Meanwhile, members of the public sent nasty e-mails, each of them asking in one form or another, "Don't you guys have better things to do than mess with the Interstate?" Well, apparently they do. Hostettler, it turns out, is very pro-69. The Gazette story, Jahr says, is "ridiculous, bogus and absurd." And Hostettler is a "fervent supporter of I-69." If visitors to the Hoosier Gazette had bothered to look more closely at the rest of the Web site, they would have discovered that it is one big spoof. The site's other lead story is about Indiana Gov.-elect Mitch Daniels' (R) first 100-days plan to cut taxes by 80 percent, decriminalize prostitution, create an Office of Gay Affairs and postpone building a new stadium for the Indianapolis Colts until the teams gets a better defense. Further down, the Web site's disclaimer says, "The reader should suspend belief for the sake of enjoyment."
• The graphic of the sign on the left side of the page is more than a little suggestive, but all the better. teenagers in Indiana should have something to giggle about!
• Nice one. I wondered when I read, "Everytime I wear my I-69 pin on my lapel..."
• Q: What's the square root of 69? A: Eight (ate) something.
• er, right side of the page. right side. I previewed that and everything.
• next they'll go after towns across america; lickdale, kentucky probe, utah cockland, ohio bloodydick, montana beaver, pennsylvania and many more
• Does I-69 go to French Lick, Indiana?
• A: Eight (ate) something I don't get it. The number eight had some unidentified meal? But it took this repast in parentheses of some kind? I just don't get it.
• Toad Suck, Arkansas
• Vast Cock, Idaho
• Unfortunately, I realized it was a hoax immediately after I posted this... cerrrrap!!! Still it's amusing to discover that one of my friends had no idea what 69 was.
• brackets Miss brackets
• Vast Cock, Idaho Heh! You sure are!
• Enormous Genitals, Wyoming.
• BILL AND TED: If you're really us from the future, what number are we thinking of? OTHER BILL AND TED: SIXTY-NINE, DUDES!
• A: Eight (ate) something I don't get it. The number eight had some unidentified meal? But it took this repast in parentheses of some kind? I just don't get it. Not a problem you don't get; eat me as I
• Don't forget Exit 69 in Detroit--Big Beaver Rd.
• heh...this was on Fark this morning... I read it, and sent an e/mail to the guy before I figured it out... dupped, again...sheesh..
• That's ok bob, he's a politician- he's probably done something else to deserve it.
• Intercourse, PA, baby! It was amazing how quiet my parents would get (well, the whole car, actually) when we passed the Welcome to Intercourse sign during road trips in Pennsylvania when I was a kid. Also, I used to laugh out loud every time I passed the Honeyspot Road exit on I-95 in Connecticut on my way to my college.
• mandyman, I spent a better part of 4 years trying to figure out how I could steal that very sign.
• Someone is selling t-shirts and whatnot, LarimdaME.
• Well, I was born in Cuntflap, Texas. And now I live in Phucnuph, Thailand. So there. Bitches.
• Cuntflap? No way! I'm afraid even to do a mapquest search on that...
• Residents of Dildo are called Dildoians
• I shoulda just said "eight something."
• From the same website: Create an Office of Gay Affairs. Like all politicians, Daniels believes that it is important to give lip service to all minority groups in the state to keep them from stirring up trouble. Hopefully this will shut them up and maybe even get the governor a few more votes in 2008.
• ...or was this story just a hoax?
