February 20, 200817 yr I like this thread because Ohio has done more to change the world than almost (maybe every) other state. Wright brothers, Edison, Patterson's ideas of business and progressive welfare
February 20, 200817 yr That's true and I really wish they could have found a damn open field in Ohio somewhere for the first plane flight.
February 20, 200817 yr Carmen Electra is gorgeous. I agree. Now if you will excuse me... Ugh, now I'm gonna have nightmares.
February 20, 200817 yr That's true and I really wish they could have found a damn open field in Ohio somewhere for the first plane flight. That's the only thing that chaps my buns about the Wright's. What's the reason they didn't do it on Huffman Prairie? I never really new why they chose NC.
February 20, 200817 yr "No, powered flight wins." No, the Admin wins. :evil: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 20, 200817 yr Sarah Jessica Parker is from Cincinnati also but I much prefer carmen :-D sjp is from nelsonville, ohio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Jessica_Parker and let's just say only a good portion of carmen is from ohio, the rest is from los angeles plastic surgeons. :laugh:
February 20, 200817 yr She went to the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Over the Rhine. I was born in Columbus but I don't call that sh!thole home! (just kidding, everyone knows I love Columbus).
February 20, 200817 yr ^ that doesnt make sjp from there. but if you like in that case she lived there obviously. Although you might think I'd find a "lighter and fruitier" tasting beer more appealing than Burning River, I'm happy to disappoint you! lol! although you dissapoint me with your unhipness as a gay man -- your fall beer will be out of season in the summer and holy moses will be "in." even us hetero craft beer fans mind the seasons! :wink:
February 20, 200817 yr seicer, mrnyc, KJP, jmecklenborg, DJ Orion, hohum, yo and 2 Guests are viewing this topic. Damn. It's 11:38 PM EST, and we are all reading up on Carmen???
February 20, 200817 yr I thought they did fly at Huffman Prairie? Doesn't matter. The brains came from Ohio; North Carolina's contribution was sand dunes and wind. Game point: Ohio. Ohio gave the world Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, Charles Brush, Garrett Morgan, Granville Woods, Charles Kettering and, of course, CARMEN ELECTRA (few brains there, but that's not why we love her)!

February 20, 200817 yr I grew up 1,000 feet away from... BTW the Wikipedia article stating she grew up in Sharonville is about 10 miles wrong.
February 20, 200817 yr We have so many celebrities from Cincinnati that turn their back on this city and don't look back. Nick Lachey is really the only one who acknowledges his roots.
February 20, 200817 yr We have so many celebrities from Cincinnati that turn their back on this city and don't look back. Nick Lachey is really the only one who acknowledges his roots. and Bootsy Collins...and Larry Flint for that matter.
February 20, 200817 yr ok, this is turning into "celebrities from Ohio". We already have a thread for that topic. :police: :police:
February 20, 200817 yr Larry Flynt only comes back to p!ss people off by handing out Hustler magazines.
February 20, 200817 yr Back on topic with... Honey Hut Ice Cream (OK, OK, more people would know Handel's as the legendary Ohio ice cream, but I prefer Honey Hut).
February 20, 200817 yr is turning into "celebrities from Ohio". Also, the Monfort Heights McDonald's is the birthplace of the Filet-o-Fish.
February 20, 200817 yr Here's a few from Northeast Ohio: http://www.jcu.edu/chemistry/NAOSMM/2007/FamousPeople.html Including: "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 20, 200817 yr She lived on Ben Hill Dr. in White Oak. She was raised on Hermes Dr. in White Oak. She babysat my good friends that I went to school with at LaSalle. When the Smokin Grooves Tour came through Cincinnati, she had a three backstage passes waiting for us at will-call. She was seeing B-Real from Cypress Hill at the time. I never believed it until I got a hug out of it! ;) ... Of course this was when she was on MTV's 'Singled Out'. We waited up all night, because we knew that her and B-Real would go back to her parents house later that night ... yeah how foolish we were at the time. lol.
February 20, 200817 yr We have so many celebrities from Cincinnati that turn their back on this city and don't look back. Nick Lachey is really the only one who acknowledges his roots. aww give spielberg a break, he moved away with his family as a little kid. wasn't his fault. meanwhile, your lachey's 15 minutes are up. that's ok clooney is still popular.
February 20, 200817 yr ^Yeah, actually it was Saddam. Everything Spielberg has done after Schindler's List has sucked. And Schindler's List was about the tritest Holocaust movie ever made. Greatest person ever to come from Ohio? I'm inclined to go with U.S. Grant. Greatest thing to ever come out of Ohio? One word: America.
February 20, 200817 yr by who? saddam hussein? :laugh: No silly, it's in the Declaration of Independence. ;)
February 20, 200817 yr >She was raised on Hermes Dr. in White Oak. She babysat my good friends that I went to school with at LaSalle. When the Smokin Grooves Tour came through Cincinnati Did you know a kid named Jerry Tran? He lived on Ben Hill and told me she lived on his street, obviously he couldn't resist the temptation to move her 150ft. closer to his house: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cincinnati&ie=UTF8&ll=39.21189,-84.603771&spn=0.003425,0.008444&t=h&z=17

You'll come to a "T" at Hermes Dr. The house that is to the left of the house in front of you is where my friends were raised (Weitzels) and the house to the left of them is where Carmen was raised. No, I don't know Jerry Tran. I may recognize him if I saw him.
February 20, 200817 yr Well, he is Japanese which tends to distinguish him from his neighbors...they had a red Toyota minivan, one of those flat-front ones from around 1989 that was Toyota's answer to the VW Vanagon. Also, another little-known White-Oak fact is that the forumula for Clorox Bleach was devised by a farmer on Hanley Rd. Proctor & Gamble bought the formula off of him back in the 1930's for way less than what it's obviously been worth. There also used to be a fellow on Hanley Rd. with the name Cyruss Fey (pronounced "Fi" as if rhyming with buy or die), he went by Cy. My grandparents joked that when the term "science fiction" came into use, they already knew all about "Cy-Fi".
February 20, 200817 yr I thought they did fly at Huffman Prairie? Doesn't matter. The brains came from Ohio; North Carolina's contribution was sand dunes and wind. Game point: Ohio. Ohio gave the world Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, Charles Brush, Garrett Morgan, Granville Woods, Charles Kettering and, of course, CARMEN ELECTRA (few brains there, but that's not why we love her)! They tested equipment and supposed "test" flights at Huffman Prairie, but of course they were not official. But I do agree that Dayton alone has North Carolina beat when it comes to historical contributions...let alone the rest of Ohio. :clap:
February 21, 200817 yr The Wrights perfected their flying at Huffman Prairie and developed the world's first practical airplane, the 1905 Wright Flyer III, which is on display at Carillon Historical Park. Case in point, the longest flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 was 59 seconds, 854 ft, straight hop, no turns. On Oct 5, 1905, Wilbur flew the Flyer III for 39 minutes and 24 miles around Huffman Prairie. Later on, they test flew their follow-on models at the Prairie and taught the first generation of pilots how to fly. H Hap Arnold, the father of the USAF, learned how to fly from the Wrights at Huffman Prairie.
February 22, 200817 yr yeah but north carolina has better pr because first of all kitty hawk sounds a heck of a lot better than huffman field (which no one has ever heard of). also, nc has those great looking instantly recognizable license plates. they are getting a lot of mileage off of nothing, so you gotta give'm that. shows how bad ohio sucks in the pr department -- geez speaking of that i just saw another tv commercial for someplace called tennessee today....but never anything for ohio.
