Actually, in Jerk's defense, I loved this this post, which answers your question.
And there really aren't that many midwest posters....
Kansas - me, Jerk, Coat
Missouri - Rob E, Man in Blak
Nebraska - Lushus, Carnival
Iowa - none afaik
South Dakota - none afaik
Minnesota - Piss, Hoff, Vern/Culloden
North Dakota - that one guy... I don't remember his name, but there is someone from there
I imagine the Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana people will chime in and say "You forgot about us!" to which I'd say "You're not in the Midwest!", so there
Actually, just for shits-and-giggles, I think even if you added posters from those states, it still wouldn't be that many
Wisconsin - I know there's a couple guys from here... but fuck if I remember who
Illinois - Czech, Bruiser
Indiana - Agent, Alf
That's still hardly a dent in the total TSM membership
I remember that, but when I plugged "Incandenza" and "jerk" into the search engine, all I got were several posts about circle jerks
I'm that mystery man from North Dakota.
