Tell Me About Missouri

[Cartierfor3]

Its pretty racist, especially out in the sticks. So pretty much exactly like every other SEC state. In fact certain counties in SE Missouri still have laws against minorities doing basically anything.

No words that start with "C" start with "C" there.  They substitute "K", as in Kountry Kitchen for example.

"The roads in Missouri were much more terrifying to me than the attacks on the World Trade Center, because I really did think my life was far more at risk."

No words that start with "C" start with "C" there.  They substitute "K", as in Kountry Kitchen for example.

They'll take it a step or two further sometimes too, e.g. "Kuntry Kitchin"

Oh yeah, the gas is always cheaper there than in Kansas (and Iowa too).

Also, you might want to practice saying the name of the state correctly: "Mizurr-rah"

Oh I thought of a good one: Fireworks Stands

Drinking in cars is legal. They sell liquor in gas stations and grocery stores*.

Their fans have the strangest personality I've ever seen...a weird concoction of inferiority complex, self-loathing, and defeatism that quickly becomes straight-up arseholery if they think they have a chance to actually win something significant. Since they rarely do, it's pretty entertaining to watch them immediately slip back into inferior self-loathing defeatism.

Jack Harry may be the archetype of this.

I lived in Missouri for a year after college and the chicken in those commercials still haunts my dreams.

Must be a western thing. Not common at all in the east.

SEC! SEC! SEC!

people from STL have weird accents unlike any other part of the state.  They call the 25 cent piece a kwater, and would pronounce the number 44 as far-tee-far.  It's kind of northerny sounding but a little different. Weird.  Also, Nelly.

In St Louis, a Hoosier is a low-life redneck, somebody you can recognize because they have a car on concrete blocks in their front yard and are likely to have just shot their wife who may also be their sister.

Anyone tell him about  Missourah yet?

First thing anyone from St Louis will ask you is "what high school did you go to?"
