glad to know there are other hoosiers down here.  in fact, i just
moved from richmond, indiana last fall...

it looks like there are a lot potential origins for the word hoosier
according to this wikipedia article
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosier>.  unfortunately, i was out of
state for the first half of fourth grade, so i missed most of the
indiana history stuff.  i do, however, remember that wuzzle means to
mix (was that fifth grade?).  oh, and you're right, the term indianan
is just ridonculous.
