There are a lot of place-names in Mississippi that I love to just roll around in my mouth -- Noxapater...Splunge...Tombigbee...Itta Bena...

I guess I have no sense or moxie. ;_;

I said "most", not "all". ;-)

I was born in Bratwursterstizen, germany on an army base. i cost something like a dead seahorse in a jar to be born. plus the doctor told my mother to drink two pints of Octopus blood a day while pregnant with me

xp Itta Bena came up just the other day. Can't remember the context.

Re place names, also like Nanih Waiya. Noxapater's cross-county rival. Cool native American mound there too.

Itta Bena came up for me too. UAPB's traveling there to play against MVS this year.

Last time I attended the King Biscuit Festival in Helena AR, sometime in the 90s, my buddy got to chatting up Junior Kimbrough pretty well. He invited us to see him play at his juke joint in Chulahoma, but that would have been a far drive for two drunk northerners. Still wish we could have pulled it off.

I enjoyed nailing your mother. I didnt realize anything came from it, however. Nice to meet you.

...

You are King Mermaid!! At last give me your nectars!!

hahahahaha

i really enjoyed the two times i went to mississippi, kinda would like to go back.

plz describe said enjoyments, of what they consisted.

We should trade houses for a month. xpost

the one time I went to Mississippi was the first time I heard some use the word "jew" as a verb and the only time that the person saying it was being serious

on the same trip, after I told this one dude how nice his house and neighborhood was and how I'd like to live someplace like that someday, he told me that that was nice but they liked to make sure only the right kind of people moved into their neighborhood, after which he stared at me and asked, "Do you understand what I am saying?"

not too many positive impressions of Tupelo, MS

I wasn't counting ppl I haven't actually met but that came afterward

xo Dan, good friend is currently great with Junior Kimbrough's grandbaby. Sometime ILXOR Ai Lien is busy planning a baby shower. Weird, eh?

that made sense, right?

uhhh...

D4vid Kimbrough and my friend are having a kid. We're handling baby shower duties. That's what I meant.

Tupelo is The Worst. it's like the shittiest aspects of Mississippi distilled.

Don Wildmon territory IIRC

em-eye-ess-ess-eye-ess-ess-eye-pee-pee- eye <<fun to spell!

its most important use in life is helping with counting time

'i was just being nice, i would not actually like to live here at all'

M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I
Crooked letter-crooked letter-I
humpback-humpback-I

(xpost) Ah, "is currently great' -- I feel like I'm doing cryptic crosswords. That's very cool.

I still look back at that Junior Kimbrough show with such amazement. It wasn't on the main stage at King Biscuit, we sat along the levee at some farm implement dealership amongst backhoes and such, whilst Kimbrough droned psychedelicly. Bizarre and awesome.

lets face it, its a hot dump

Dr. Dirt used to be the cohost of a gardening/horticulture radio show on MS Public Broadcasting. The host is a southern-horticulture expert and a real dick. (I used to work with his brother at Ole Miss; unsurprisingly, he too was a dick.)

Will otm about Tupelo. But somebody has opened a new bar there with 20 taps and 100+ bottled beers, which is real progress for that John Birch Society Southeast Regional HQ.

srsly, visiting that town pretty much killed any vestigial desire I had to live someplace that wasn't a large, major city

wait I thought you lived in boston

parse the sentence, iatee...

oh come on at least we're SUBTLE about our racism up here in the mid-atlantic suburbs

oh wait, I see what you did there (maybe) xp

like, maybe I don't know 95% of my neighbors, but on the flipside they aren't organizing a mob to run me out of town so I'm basically all good

several xps: lol NYC, how ya doin'

yeah the drive dang perry out of somerville chapter i attempted to launch never really got off the ground :/

Mississippi is one of twelve states in which I've had sex.

D. Kimbrough used to come kick it in Oxford and jam with some of my musician friends. he was a good-looking, smooth-talking SOB (circa 95-96). used to bring us moonshine, too. saw Junior in his old juke joint Junior's Place before it burned.

Mississippi, the state where things like this still happen

Man
