re: Arkansas, Mississippi or death?

I feel for the kids. Even though they will already be teased for those "facial tics" they were born with...they will also never realize until they are older that you are supposed to have 2 sets of grandparents, not one.

Our wallets bitch

Arkansans, armpits and anuses coincidentally all start with the same letter as they share a certain symmetry:

They all stink, the effluent that comes out of them can't be properly served at the table and it requires continual maintenance to keep them from being a distraction in polite company.

A State which voluntarily (from any and all possible choices) chose a hog as it's flagship university's mascot is to be specifically avoided.

Mississippi by a hair.

Arkansas but only if it's Hot Springs.

He's got a valid point

Did all this talk about Arky subconsciously inspire your hog heli-hunting thread on the OB?

I would consider retiring in NW Arkansas. I would live there in a heart beat. And I would live along the Mississippi coast or up near Memphis before death.

What a stupid thread.

It would have been better to ask: Haiti, Somalia, or Death. Particularly since they are all so similar.
