3. Huh? How about you? Were you born in Ohio? Myself, I was born in

Alaska. My father was stationed at Ft. Richardson and the hospital was on Elmendorf AFB (located with Ft. Richardson) so that's what went on my birth certificate.

25. Somebody born under a bad sign

Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all

I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all

The only reason for this song is Republicans.

30. The farms of Ohio

had been replaced by shopping malls
and Muzak filled the air

52. My old man was born there.

That makes me one-half damnyankee.

Northeast Ohio. Ashtabula.
He told my daughter that when he was going to school, the dinosaurs that looked like Nessie came out of Lake Erie and chased him to school.

And she said, "Awww, nawww, gramps!"
