Are they thinking of Kurt Vonnegut, perhaps? |
That is kind of unique. Hmm . . I wonder if something to do with the stereotypes of the state? Isn't it Iowa that has really flat land? That might get it stereotyped as boring. But I would guess Indiana is common, with a side of adventure (not knowing much about it I'm just guessing though).
Kurt Vonnegut? If I read the wiki on him will I get the reference?
