Let's not forget the prohibition laws. No alcohol sales on Sundays. No hard liquor sales on weekdays after 7 pm. We're only allowed to be drunk bastards during the daytime. |

Mississippi:
1) Refer to original post about education. 2) Jim Henson 3) Oprah Winfrey 4) Blues 5) William Faulkner 6) John Grishom Hmm. For a state with poor education, we do have quite a few good authors come out of it. There are more that I can't remember for this post. ------------------ Originally posted by Irrelevant: EAT A BAG OF FUCK, HOMOLOVER. http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/2070689 |
