      Had a gay friend who grew up in Idaho. I was talking to him about how so many states try to pretend there’s more to them than their stereotypes. Texans like to say it sn’t just cowboys and Mexican food, but Idaho embraces the “Potaotoes” thing and doesn’t talk about the rest.

      He that when all a state has is potatoes and gun-totin white supremacists, they want you to talk about the potatoes.

      I had a roommate from Idaho in college. He thought Bill O’Reilly was too liberal. I stopped sleeping when he was around.

      Imagine living in salt lake and wanting to get back to “civilization” when you visit your relatives. Idaho is cold windy racism that looks great to fly over
