I used to have a list of the Iowa FFF.net members. I believe there are 7 or 8 that I found...

I thought I was the only Browncoat from Iowa. Sumner, IA to be exact.

Oh great. First it was the Forsaken and now were inudated by Mythic Iowa's.
Time to click my heels together and say, "No place like home. No place like home".
Anyone out there? Anyone else?

Iowa is NOT mythical. It is just outside my door…if I dare look. Hmmm, maybe later; but I am sure that it is there. Really.
'Time to click my heels together and say, "No place like home. No place like home".'
Is not that Dorothy from the "Wizard of Oz." Was not Dorothy from that mythical place called 'Kansas'?
Had to be, since the Wizard of Oz is a truely fictional story involving obviously fictional characters, from an obviously fictional state like Kansas. Get Real. I never heard of a planet or a moon in Firefly called "Kansas"; Ergo, Kansas is the fictional place, NOT Iowa.

Hello fxstb02:
You are correct sir!
Actually I'm from Wisconsin.
You Know. Green Bay Packers, Harley Davidson's, cheese.
And at times I think this state is mythical or wish it would be. But I'm use to the cold winters now and I guess I'll stay here and watch the Packers beat the Bears while I huddle next to my TV to keep warm.
Found you guys another Iowan

Hey Traveler,
Hah, I knew it; another cheesehead. That is o.k., I lived there too for 11 years. I do ride a Harley (is there any other motorcycle?), hence my username. At least you did not say "watch the Packer beat the MIGHTY Lions (that would be another Mythical feat)" As you should be able to tell, I am originally from another cold, mythical state called Michigan. Cold? Cold you say? I graduated from M.T.U. in Houghton, MI. You want to talk about "cold". I could tell you stories that would freeze your curds.
We are good, just stringing the cheese.

I--a huge Patrick O'Brian (Aubrey/Maturin series) fan as well as Firefly/Serenity, read the Maidenhead responce about it being the thing at the bow...that's not what my delving came up with. That is called a FIGUREHEAD in both my lexicon to the O'Brian books, A SEA OF WORDS, by Dean King, and Webster's tome...So, we're are, I believe back to the possible double meaning: this is the place that is at the brink of where "no man has gone before" --whether it be with the maid or the 'verse....watchathink, huh?
....the old one

... Huh!
Yep, you are right. On dictionary.com it gives several definitions, all relating to maidenhood, virginity, or the hymen.
I'm wondering how a town got such an interesting name.
