Love you too Bro.....And those of us who are Ohio natives generally say "Uh-hines." The state is AHIA.....We don't seem to do O's here. True story:

The Ohio Sate Marching Band is well known for their signature "Script Ohio" where the drum major acts as a pencil and leads the band through a writing of the word Ohio on the field. I gotta' admit, it is kinda' neat. One year, about 25-30 back or so, as a joke, they spelled "Ahia".......didn't go over real well and the director at the time, Paul Droste, had no idea it was going to happen. Best thing was, it was a nationally televised game!
