Oh lord, here I thought we’d settled that. But no, Juaniter’s rekindling The Great MS/TX "My State’s Wusser’n Your State " Grudge Rodeo . . .
April 13 – One more reason why I love Texas on Friday nights. Can you name one other place where a trailer shoots itself to death? Okay, so maybe Mississippi, but not with such flare!
I just love the whole, “I dunno what happened officer. I was using my ammo dump for an ashtray and then I went to the bathroom and ….
Jeez, with Soggy Sweat dead these twelve years, and the Redneck Sopranos on their way to the fed’l rock-hockey arena, whatta we got, y’all? Don’t just stand there, think of something!
UPDATE: DINGDINGDING — We have a weener!
I’ll put Sailor’s Ocean Springs tale — with able assist from ducky — up against anythin’ ya got, Yulla Rose o’ Fort Bend. Bring it on, Tex, we ready for ya. (Good going, you two, Mississippi’s honor saved again, whew.)
On such quick notice this is all I could come up with. Maybe if we could keep an eye on it could develop into some interesting brouhaha.

But honestly, isn’t Texas mostly populated with folks that didn’t find MS sufficiently accommodating for their craziness? We should get some kinda handicap.
Gawrsh, no wonder Mori Smith’s having nightmares, ducky. Good candidate here, but think I’ll hold the nominations open a bit longer.
(As to the “some kinda handicap,” um, I’m thinking maybe we be’t not go there.)
My nomination comes from last week’s news. Can’t get the link to the Sun Herald story, but it went sumthin’ like this…. A Katrina cottage (FEMA trailer upgrade) in a middle class Ocean Springs neighborhood blew up due to meth cookin’ by a 28 year-old drug chef. When police arrived, the badly burned cook had already been taken to the hospital by his sous chef, who was supposed to be AT HOME over in Gulfport on house arrest for prior drug convictions. Now the cottage belonged to the drug chef’s parents who don’t live in it, so the son and his three children were living there illegally (parents in trouble now, I ‘spect). And where is the mother of these tykes, you ask? Why, she’s in prison serving time for FEMA FRAUD! Top that one Texas!
Should have issued a lotus “spew alert…”
Is this it, sailor?

Can’t tell, Ducks, for some reason I can’t log in at that site. But seriously, now, how many stories like this could there have been last week? (Nevermind, don’t answer that! ha!ha!)
I will say, though, Sailor, that the part about the three children with an imprisoned mom and a meth-head dad is distinctly UNfunny. Sure hope somebody good comes into their lives toot sweet.
Am sure Sailor didn’t think the plight of the children anything but sad. What’s funny, to me, is how the story unfolds.
Agreed and agreed, partcoast.
