I am so, so glad you didn't say, "It needs fixed." Everybody says that around these parts, and it drives me mad! English, man! How hard can it be?

Pretty much nailed it with the last bit - I'm in Hoosier territory, very close to GenCon's home. I'm amazed how widespread this particular grammatic infraction is employed.
