a midwest state really had a “husband calling” competition

(Looks at Iowa) Sounds about right

I’m someone’s husband, and if my wife called me like this, I’d run away screaming in horror. Of course, I’m from Wisconsin, not Iowa, so…

@BPiddles We had one at the Illinois State Fair around 1990. One of my mother's former coworkers met his wife that way. A single woman called out looking for a husband and he ran up on impulse. They've been married ever since.

“The Midwest has no culture” think again

Feel like 226 and 227 are real

hehehehe im imagining a non human watching this like. it’s variants on how they call their partners look at this weird species of critters. i find it so cute from an ethnological pov

Um, we've talked about this. It's Iowa. Nuff said. 😉
