Midwesterners love to gab. We love to chit-chat away until the cows come home. We'll talk about anything. We'll talk about all the stuff that's on sale at Kroger. We will talk about what exactly is in our recipe for potato salad that we're bringing to the barbecue next week. We will talk about the fact that we saw Kayla at Meijer and that even though she'd called out of work that day, she looked like she was getting ready for a party. Will gossip, we will spill tea, and we will do it all day long. 

There's nothing quite like sitting on a porch with a couple of older Midwestern women just talking about anything. Maybe you have a task to do while you're talking, like snapping the ends off of green beans or peeling potatoes. And then you cluck cluck cluck away. It's a wonderful way of giving and receiving information. The channels between Midwestern women are stronger than any social media. It's one of our greatest pastimes. But in between our gossip sessions, we need something to keep us afloat.

  • Memes are a great way to do that. They make us laugh. They tickle our brains, and they make us wanna share them with our favorite people. Even better if the memes are about our Midwestern heritage and identity. So luckily, these memes do just that. Scroll on if that sounds like a good time to you.

    21st century Odysseus Nate Igor Smith @driven byboredom - 9/9/22 This kid walked hundreds of miles to get to the Gathering of the Juggalos. After his girlfriend kicked him out he just started walking. He was carrying around this catalytic converter that he was going to sell to pay for his trip home.
