Actually NW Arkan-saw is NOW not too bad as it was sixty five years ago. Real Hillbilly back then.
But then, I am only talking about Benton and Washington counties. (NW Ark) The rest of the state fades into a fog.
I was dragged here kicking and screaming at the age of 9 from from my home in New Mexico.
The only white person I’ve seen in this story is the news reporter. Hmmm...
Note the line "If your interested" - yo, that be ebonics grammar...
In Massachusetts it’s pronounced Wustah!
I remember an extended consulting gig in Boston, where one of my colleagues said “You know you’ve had a good time in Boston when you wake up naked on a pool table in Peabuddy”. I had to look up that spelling.

We just landed in Fayetteville yesterday. I guess this kind of thing can happen anywhere, just surprised to see it here.
It’s pretty sad when a car show can’t be a safe haven for legitimate fun. This was just wrong. Prayers for the injured children.
When you look at the list of mass shootings, you quickly see exactly where these shootings are happening.
I can tell a Stephenn King novel just by character names.
“You’ve hit rock bottom when you live in a town called Dumas, Arkansas.”
There is also a Dumas, Tx.
There was a Superbowl commercial a few years ago where a guy was being being interviewedfoe a job.

Shooting gallery set to music
There used to be a sayin’...”Standing around with his thumb in his @$$ and his mind in Arkansas.”
