Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: The Midwest or Something Edition

What does KOD stand for? Does Dan's mom like Jeff Jarrett? Where is Ohio? One of these will be answered.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

Looks like I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy some chili and spaghetti (I live in Wisconsin, of course I already have a bunch of (good) cheese at hand). That sounds great.

So is this how Giant Bomb secretly streams out all of "The Substitute", 5 minutes of footage in each mailbag?

It's not. But they've talked about doing commentary tracks, so that would be the next best thing!

Jeff was on fire with funny, yet really bad jokes and puns in this Mailbag. Wouldn't have it any other way.

That Slap Nuts guitar is pretty sweet. I'm sure we'll be seeing photos of Dan holding that up during live wrestling shows. For a second before he opened the package, I thought it was going to be a custom made Air Force Gator foam thingy.

When Brad smelled the Cincinnati ducks, it reminded me of the one time I drove through Cincinnati (without stopping) and it smelled like sewage for like 20 minutes driving through. Sorry locals. I'd still try a four-way though.

@lausebub: Is that the lodge butler from Twin Peaks? That dude was awesome.

About all the rubber ducks - every year we flood the ohio river with rubber ducks and have a rubber duck regatta, with proceeds going to the local foodbank and the winner getting a car or something. Porkopolis!

Skyline Chili is my absolute favorite food, but there's really no sane way to explain Cincinnati chili to anyone who's never spent any time there. Even with the locals, it can be a hard sell.

The proceeds don't go to cleaning up the Ohio River?

C'mon @danryckert , how can you not know that Ohio is THE ORIGINAL Midwest state? We've got chili, subpar sports teams, and combustible rivers for days!

Someone should send in a box filled with twinkies again. That was kind of fucked up but great
