You know you live in Arkansas........

Geez Panthera . . .

I'm sure not trying to be a PC cop, and you read a hell of a lot more into my post than it was intended to convey. All I said was that not everyone in Arkansas is a yokel, and gave my favorite example. It wasn't criticism, it was an obsevation.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming . . .

If you want to object to teaching poor children how to kill and skin a useful source of protein

<font size=+2 color=purple>With a nail gun?

THAT [the nail gun part] was my point, exactly.

And Panthera, you might want to do a little reading up on the spiritual life of Native Americans before poopooing what I sad as "hogwash."

Chuck,

I grew up with several Native American cultures and had the privilege of working in Browing for a while.
No doubt there are some folks out there who live that life, but it is not in line with my experience.
I do agree that a nail gun is not the best approach.
Let's just tack it down to my cultural insensitivity, I truly meant no offence to you.
Hydralique,
I freely confess to a severe allergy to political correctness and no doubt overreact to even the faintest stench of its creepy miasma. I was really enjoying this thread and thought, oh, hell (actually, I thought kruzifix, nomenei) when it looked like once again cold water was going to be splashed on it.
I don't know, maybe my sense of humor is just too base...

"Poking fun at Arkansas is easy...but let's remember that not everyone there is a yokel."

I agree, and it does seem a bit like shootin' fish in a barrel. Yes, of course there are built-up areas, and I too will take the L'il Rock guy over the TX Tool we have now (a fave bumber sticker is "Somewhere in Texas a village has lost its idiot")!!! We can get him back if the Hill'r gets in!

Could we maybe shift a little of the pokin' at Tennessee?? (ducking and running)

Betcha Jed Clampett never used no nail gun when he was shootin' at some food!

More on the story....

Nail gunning was not planned. Someone had told the teacher they would donate a racoon for the skinning....The Racoon was brought in a live trap. Teacher was not expecting this. I guess the nail gun was handy ? The Racoon skinning class must have been next door to the Woodshop. LOL.

But surely, surely NOT with a nail gun?

If you guys like to make fun of Arkansas folk, well they are only 30 miles up the road from me here in Louisiana. But I will share a local website from here (Shreveport) that a friend of mine runs. It is somewhat funny if you like to make fun of us country folk. WWW.WHITETRASHWAREHOUSE.COM. You may like it. who knows.

Once you leave Manhattan, you are CAMPING, damn it!

So what is it called when you get all the way out here In South Dakota (look on your map, its in this country)

Roughing it?

Hicksville, NY is a real town near me on Long Island.

True story:
Manhattanite came out to a party in Queens (Still NYC, but not "downtown"). She said, "Wow, look at all the good shopping here!" [She was TRULY surprised.]

I said-- sardonically-- you know when running wather came three years ago and electricity a year ago, it made all the difference! She was not amused. The rest of the crowd was in stitches! *LOL*

New Hope, Pennsylvania

Awfully close to Adamstown where there's some good 'tiques shopping!

It's also not far from Bird-In-Hand and Intercourse, PA!

A bird in hand beats two in the bush!

Lambertville, NJ is just across the river and is good for antique shopping as well.
