It is against the law in the state of Arkansas to mispronounce the name Arkansas.
You're welcome.

besides, sayin' it like "Ar-kansas-yer just don't sound right. it does not, as we Fayettevillians (BTW, this is usually "Fudvillians"...) would say, roll trippingly off the tongue. (now, that might be diffrunt in other parts of the state...) [smilie=walk.gif]
HOWEVER.... In the spirit of D4M's remarks above:
I would add that there are very few forums that I'd feel more comfortable repeating those two old groaners without fearing that it'd be taken seriously. This IS a unique community - I think we (for the most part!) recognize silliness when we see it, but we also recognize true bigotry and racism when they rear their ugly heads, and we do something about it.daytona4me said:As for Aquaracers original remarks.. I have to agree.. that posts were a little tasteless.. admin cleaned the thread up (also because it was a complete hijack (we have professionals here .. lol) but at the end of the day.. we still have a great group of members here that span the globe.... and I cannot say that I have ever met anyone who is racist or truly anti-semitic here..
insensitive .... probably... probably uncouth raising.. (sub4me) or simply dont care (sub4me) :lol: (he's a local for me.. I can raz him.. )
Anyway.... let's remember what makes this forum great.. we have a global membership base and for the most part... we are one big family.... we cannot ever forget that!
