for all the confused fish
dear fish,
a little over a year ago, i braved the 2000 mile trek from new jersey to colorado in a blue station wagon with just about everything i owned jammed in the back or strapped on top. the trip took a few days as we drove through the night and with the help of some audiobooks, my friend and i survived without the madness usually brought on by the elements, tunnel-vision, road-rage and kansas (****).
for those of you confused about the difference between new brunswick, new jersey and boulder, colorado i have recently discovered some new info that may clarify this:
In New Jersey it is illegal to "frown" at a police officer.
In Boulder, Colorado it is legal to challenge a police officer, but only until he or she asks you to stop.
just thought you might like to know.
your friend,
mysfit

7 little fish:
For the love of God and all that is holy, I AM NOT FROM KANSAS! :) I am a proud Nebraska Cornhusker, transplanted to Kansas City, MISSOURI, via a time of penance in Tulsa, OK. While it may not seem like a big deal it is important to those of us on the Mizzou side that we are not Kansans. Fred Phelps is from Kansas and that is only one of the reasons I'd love to distance myself from that state. I love Missouri, tis a beautiful place and I enjoy living in KC.
All in all I don't expect you to remember or care but I just had to share. Whenever I'm with my best friend of 18 yrs, who lives in NYC, he introduces me as living in Kansas....ah well.
(hangs head in shame) double-sry carl... k, i swear never to forget again - will you forgive me now?
i hope you don't have a bathtubs with four legs resembling animal paws, becasue it is prohibited in kansas city, MI
jenn - hey!!!
i'm always sure where i am, it's where anything else is that i have trouble with...
(however, when is a different story entirely)
I was of course kidding...I do think it is a rather interesting phenomenon that whenever anyone thinks of Kansas City they always think of Kansas. The majority of the city is in MO as are our professional sports teams....however the big money is in Kansas....maybe I should move!!!
You made me think of my friend Scott with your 'its all the same to us' comment...you fellow New Yorkers are all alike. ;)
I don't have an animal footed tub Mysfit but the temptation to go out and buy one just so I can say that everytime I'm naked in the tub I'm breaking the law is almost overwhelming.
I'm partial to this Missouri law:
Minors are not allowed to purchase cap pistols, however they may buy shotguns freely.
And I'm glad I don't live in Natchez as I'd be jail bound for sure since:
It shall be unlawful to provide beer or other intoxicants to elephants.
You know, years ago I lived in Denver (actually Wheatridge, just outside of Denver). On the way there, I drove through Kansas*. Moving back, not long after, I drove through Nebraska. I swear I wanted to kill myself. (*Never, EVER camp in Kansas... you sleep on rocks and get blown right out of your tent. Which actually blows aways right along with you because tent stakes cannot be pounded into solid stone. It's an ugly, ugly scene.)
Western Nebraska...not where I grew up...is a pretty suicide-inducing spot as well. Unless you are partial to deserted desert terrain, yucca plants and tumbleweeds.
