Here are the lyrics: There were twenty, maybe, twenty-five of us Drivin' out to California in a bus We were looking for a good time And a radio station we could trust. Suddenly we heard an angry thud And our mighty chariot turned into a dud We were stopped there in our tracks, man Adjacent to some cows chewing their cud. Lord, please send some mercy down to me. 50 miles south of Bowling Green... This will clearly never be my scene. Why does every city start with 'C'? There's only one sure thing that I know: I've got to get out of Ohio! 'Til then I'll never feel love. They say that what you give is what you're gonna get It's no wonder everything's gone to shit. Because they've given us John Boehner, You better believe they've given us Jean Schmidt! And the floodgates of hell have opened wide It's better to get all politics aside. They're gonna roll out Joe the Plumber Just to make sure our minds get properly fried. Lord, be merciful and let me die. 50 miles south of Lodi. Round on both ends and the middle's high. What's so great about a buckeye? Whose might is riptide and undertow There's no escaping from Ohio. I'll never get to feel love. Hey! The walls they are closing in, But I'm just inside of Michigan. The only way that I'll obtain ya, Is if I get over to Pennsylvania. Except for GBV and DEVO Nothing seems to redeem Ohio. It is the state that killed my love. Hey! Don't you want to come with me Hey! And make a break for Kentucky Hey! I still got something to put in ya Hey! But we'll have to go to West Virginia. And I've heard great things about Indiana, too. No this is Electric Six. Here are the lyrics:

There were twenty, maybe, twenty-five of us
Drivin’ out to California in a bus
We were looking for a good time
And a radio station we could trust.

Suddenly we heard an angry thud
And our mighty chariot turned into a dud
We were stopped there in our tracks, man
Adjacent to some cows chewing their cud.

Lord, please send some mercy down to me.
50 miles south of Bowling Green…
This will clearly never be my scene.
Why does every city start with ‘C’?
There’s only one sure thing that I know:
I’ve got to get out of Ohio!
‘Til then I’ll never feel love.

They say that what you give is what you’re gonna get
It’s no wonder everything’s gone to shit.
Because they’ve given us John Boehner,
You better believe they’ve given us Jean Schmidt!

And the floodgates of hell have opened wide
It’s better to get all politics aside.
They’re gonna roll out Joe the Plumber
Just to make sure our minds get properly fried.

Lord, be merciful and let me die.
50 miles south of Lodi.
Round on both ends and the middle’s high.
What’s so great about a buckeye?
Whose might is riptide and undertow
There’s no escaping from Ohio.
I’ll never get to feel love.

Hey!
The walls they are closing in,
But I’m just inside of Michigan.
The only way that I’ll obtain ya,
Is if I get over to Pennsylvania.
Except for GBV and DEVO
Nothing seems to redeem Ohio.
It is the state that killed my love.

Hey!
Don’t you want to come with me
Hey!
And make a break for Kentucky
Hey!
I still got something to put in ya
Hey!
But we’ll have to go to West Virginia.
And I’ve heard great things about Indiana, too.

The band sounded great ... is that you and your mates or another OH-perceptive group? Much enjoyed our chat the other eve ... thanks for that!

Nice. Clicking through, I realize you are talking about the geek’s tree house, which is an idea I’ve heard floating around town as well. Nice.

I like that and may use it in future when "hacker lounge" draws a blank stare. Thanks for submitting a proposal. We could use help spreading the word in PDX and beyond, if you feel like helping :) Un-office. I like that and may use it in future when “hacker lounge” draws a blank stare.

Who is to say what is the appropriate term other than some scientific, biological lable. The term is understood by those who use it, and not understood by those who don't, which is why it is used in the first place. In most states it is still illegal to use and universally misunderstood, hence the desire to keep it on the dl (oops, I did it again). peace out um well, you mean the term “weed” is not worn out?

While certainly not disguising their interest, they are fulfilling the marijuana mythos by being...coy. As to why that specific phrase is used so often, it must be normative to the CL community. Like "dd-free," "OBO" etc., the community decided that this is the most efficient and easily-understood way to convey a specific, somewhat complex (and possibly touchy) meaning. Because it's the established norm, using anything else would make them seem as CL outcasts--unable to play by the established social rules. Then again, I'm "420 friendly" right now, so take all that with a grain of salt. B^) Sociologically speaking, part of the fun of weed is that it’s taboo to speak about openly.

I have long wanted a MIDI control for winamp that works well (oxo's has a fatal flaw that renders it useless). Although I am a web developer, I'm not so hot at building C++ apps from scratch, so your simple and concise code was a perfect place to begin tweaking! I now have the controls responding to the transport and fader of my Korg nanoKontrol. I think I may brush up on my Win API skills and extend this app to be more customizable (leaving your name plainly visible in all credits, of course). Thanks for this great app! Awesome plugin!
