Now, aside from dust and huge stretches of nothing (both not exactly desirable), what exactly does Kansas have that Florida doesn't produce?

[Ban Hammer 13,352]

I'm not aware of anything in our kitchen being from Kansas either. The rice is imported from India or Thailand (we have 1 bag of each), the produce is mostly central/southamerican. The fish is mostly asian IIRC. The meat I'm not sure.

well that's jersey, the mob takes everything at the border.

Does Kansas even have department of tourism? "Come look at our silos and chew on a piece of straw!"

You are in rare form today.

Another pwnage point goes to Charles!

Well, there's something I'd be happy to be adding to our list of exports - corrupt and radical Republicans. I'd love to see them in Kasnas - starting with our crook of a governor. But then, I already stated that Kansas would we an ideal site to use as a disposal for all sorts of provocative waste.

Cream of wheat and a tall glass of OJ. Problem solved.

Seems that they do. However, I cant say it was ever on my list of places to visit.

now you're talking!

i'm sure if there was oil or natural gas here, they'd already drilled for it. however, there's no wells around so your scenario is pure fantasy from start to finish.

Kansas ranks 8th in U.S. oil production. Production has experienced a steady, natural decline as it becomes increasingly difficult to extract oil over time. Since oil prices bottomed in 1999, oil production in Kansas has remained fairly constant, with an average monthly rate of about 2.8 million barrels (450,000 m3) in 2004. The recent higher prices have made carbon dioxide sequestration and other oil recovery techniques more economical.

Kansas ranks 8th in U.S. natural gas production. Production has steadily declined since the mid-1990s with the gradual depletion of the Hugoton Natural Gas Field—the state's largest field which extends into Oklahoma and Texas. In 2004, slower declines in the Hugoton gas fields and increased coalbed methane production contributed to a smaller overall decline. Average monthly production was over 32 billion cubic feet (0.9 km³).

i'm talking around where i live, on the east side.....out west, sure, lotsa cows, oil wells, and tornados.

Looks like we need to add lunch to the menu:

A fish fry up with Freestate beer.

Nah, can't bury that garbage here. We either have farms or attractions on our land. Where that isn't the case, there's a beach that people from depressed lands come to in order to reaffirm their committment to life. And then there are the areas where we could bury the ####### if we didn't need to dig up the grounds there to extract the phosphate you guys in flyover country need to fertilze your dust so you can grow anything there.

not too familiar with the missouri river valley, are you?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I googled Missouri River Valley Kansas. First thing on the list is this: Missouri River Valley Skydivers

So, it's a drop zone. Like I said, let's drop the national ####### there.
