ok, which of you is it living in illinois driving around with a "got wood" bumper sticker?
lol i almost drove off the road when i saw that, considering the recent debate about slogans an t-shirts. . .

I've got a "Got Wood?" tee shirt but I avoid Illinois. One of the local wood suppliers (Midwest Hardwoods) dropped thirty or forty of them off at the shop so it would be hard to tell who is who. It is a wee bit oversize so I suppose...

Might have been someone up from St. Louis. There's a DJ on the alternative rock station named Woody. His minions have bumper stickers that say "Got Wood"

Hey now were not completely flat. We have mountains, (garbage dumps). ;)
Are you sure it wasn't a bumper sticker for Viagara, Traves? :-)
Jums
Like a 60's surfer wagon?
You just -think- you're kidding.
There's a sledding hill here, in a park on the site of what used to be the city dump. It's the tallest hill in something like a 25 mile radius.
It is known locally as "Mount Trashmore".
Your from Evanston????? If so thats Great!!! Glenview here saying hello!!

Is that the big berm north of I-55 somewhere around Pontiac, IL?
Larry
Nope. It's in Evanston, IL. First suburb north of Chicago, along the lake.
I feel compelled to jump in here. Contrary to poular belief, not all of Illinois is flat. I live in Southern Illinois, and we have rolling hills, sandstone bluffs, and spectacular rock outcroppings. Geographically, we are much more like southeastern Missouri and western Kentucky than the rest of the state (culturally, too, but that's another subject). Much of Southern Illinois is Shawnee National Forest, with an abundance of wooded land (just to keep this almost on topic). So don't be fooled into thinking that all of Illinois is flat. Come on down to the pretty part of the state.

And y'all say y'all down there... 'nuff said! :)
Ah That wouldn't be in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Virginia would it?

Homewood Illinois here. I wouldn't live any farther North for any reason in the world. You guys are all nutzo with all your snow and sub zero weather up there in cheddar land and yah hey dere up over dere in Minnesoooota.

no, i think that one would read something like, "She. . .Got wood"
Traves
Heh. I live in Virginia. I wouldn't live any further north for any reason in the world. You guys are nutso with all your snow and sub-zero weather up there anywhere north of Staunton.
(That's "stantin" for everyone who doesn't know how to mispronounce that in accordance with local custom. It's near Buena Vista. "byoonuh vistuh")
Don't like flatland either. I spend a lot of time in the flat parts of the east coast. Miles and miles of nothin' but Jummywood trees and piles of sand. Bleah.
Hmm, I also live in Virginia, and I wouldn't live any farther South for any reason in the world. So maybe we can declare Virginia to be about as close to perfect as we're going to find. ;-)
Yeah, yeah. It took me a while after moving down here from New Jersey to appreciate how that was pronounced. I have *never* gotten used to how they insist on prononcing Pulaski. There were enough Polish people where I grew up that I can't stand hearing pew-lask-y.
Stick to the mountains myself, too hot if I go East or South from here.

If you think Illinois is all flat, you should try riding a bike in the Galena area (NW corner of the state). I just completed a week long tour (on bike) of that area, and I couldn't beleive the hills!!!
