As a kid, I was always taught that you get to Columbus by... "Go south until you smell it, and then east until you step in it."
December 21st, 2016 at 10:37 AM ^
...It is a long way to Columbus.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:42 AM ^
Columbus used the same bit re Ann Arbor: North until you smell it, west until you step in it.
The problem with those directions is that anyone who follows them has to drive through Lake Erie. Navigation not a strong suit for Buckeyes.

Tl;dr answer: too many open coolers.
Also, this should be on the minds of every OSU recruit. You can bundle up to avoid the cold, but powerful stank stays with you.
December 21st, 2016 at 9:33 AM ^
It doesn't wash off either.
You finally make it through college at Ohio State - you even managed to skip all your classes - you sign that big NFL contract, you are rolling in $$$ . . . and nobody will sleep with you because you smell like an Ohio Stadium toilet.
Let that be a lesson recruits.

most people are keeping Michigan clean by dumping their trash in Columbus.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:46 AM ^
Seems I laugh at something new every year I see this movie. Good stuff.
December 21st, 2016 at 9:30 AM ^
When you're filled with assholes of course you're gonna smell.
December 21st, 2016 at 9:32 AM ^
Flush Twice... it's a long way to Ohio! (Yes I own a custom shirt that says this)

I suppose I might have to flush three times then.

the first thing you smell is a dump
December 21st, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
...and of course, it is on the north side of the line, state line that is.
Don't ask how I know this.
December 21st, 2016 at 9:39 AM ^
Growing up traveling a lot with my Dad, we had only one purpose for ever stopping in ohio... Taking a giant dump in the rest stop and carrying on
December 21st, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
Don't eat at Gold Star Chilli. Problem solved.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:57 AM ^
Don't eat at Skyline chili. I made that mistake once on a test trip; we kept the car windows open for the rest of the day. It wasn't the warmest of days.
December 21st, 2016 at 11:35 AM ^
Had a client meeting in N. Ky. Never been/heard of Skyline so I went and had some "chili." Had to shit all day....
December 21st, 2016 at 12:06 PM ^
I prefer Skyline, but either one is a bad move for a long car ride through Ohio.
December 22nd, 2016 at 9:04 AM ^
On the way to Florida we would stop at the rest area, and never spend any money until we hit Kentucky
December 21st, 2016 at 9:48 AM ^
All the OSU fans there are full of shit.
December 21st, 2016 at 9:54 AM ^
Because the refs are dirty.
December 21st, 2016 at 9:57 AM ^
I thought it was the giant toilet.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:02 AM ^
Inversions aren't uncommon in central Ohio during the winter. They typically happen late at night or during the morning hours. Sometimes they do last all day, he said.
I think these happen a lot on the Great Lakes actually, with some famous ones occuring on southern Lake Michigan. I remember a story last spring, come to think of it, which actually created a mirage of the Chicago skyline in several places along the shore where you might not normally see it. I know we've witnessed a few being out on Erie in the morning in the spring.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:29 AM ^
They had some great pictures of it in the Chicago Tribune. The skyline was upside down hovering above the lake. Really strange.
December 21st, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
Same thing happened when the titanic it the iceberg. Cold air over the warm water of the Gulf Stream created a soft horizon.

One of my cousins in Benton Harbor took a picture of it from Silver Beach in St.Joe. Pretty cool,but kind of eerie at the same time.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
I think I figured it out:

you can see tressel being shoulder hoisted and pararaded around.

sweatervest. You'd think after 5 years...it would come clean!
December 21st, 2016 at 10:17 AM ^
Thousands of the dirtiest, filthiest, trashiest women in the midwest....hundred thousand suckeye fans that are F.O.S a-holes.... a stadium shaped like a toilet...
someone please take it from there...
December 21st, 2016 at 10:24 AM ^
...Trash gets picked up.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:51 AM ^
I'm not from Michigan so I'd still probably pick that trash up. Just late at night though!
December 21st, 2016 at 11:19 AM ^
The Michigan girl is hotter

You make it sound like dirty filthy trashy women are bad? Only the ugly Ohio ones
December 21st, 2016 at 10:32 AM ^
I was always told it was a dog food company on Frank road. Used to have to smell it every morning getting ready for school.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:32 AM ^
There's a giant toilet bowl in that town what do they expect
December 21st, 2016 at 10:36 AM ^
Poo poo head

Brutus is a turd
December 21st, 2016 at 10:47 AM ^
One of those hard nuggets you get from eating too much cheese.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:40 AM ^
I'd assume because people there have noses. Now as to why it stinks, you've all covered that quite well.

December 21st, 2016 at 10:41 AM ^
Because it's in Ohio? If you drive South on I-75, the smell changes almost instantly once you cross the border.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:52 AM ^
If you don't want to smell it, don't live in the truck stop.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:53 AM ^
It is simply a rhetorical question
December 21st, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
smells bad. I can say that Iowa City smells too. On our recent trip there for the game we noticed a constant smell of manure in the air the whole time. Must be because the city is surrounded by cows or something.
December 21st, 2016 at 10:58 AM ^
Illinois too. Lots of fields and manure, and nothing to block the wind . . .
December 21st, 2016 at 10:57 AM ^
I always thought that those t-shirts that said "directions to Columbus: south until you smell it, east until you step in it" were just a joke. Who knew?

No, it's for real. So is SEC cheating, and Ohio State players not taking any actual classes.
Inside every joke, there is a grain of truth.
December 21st, 2016 at 11:15 AM ^
with failed septic systems. Only the field at the Horseshoe perc's...
December 21st, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
drive 50 minutes south to chillicothe, now that town smells!
