the sound Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Ok, so me and my freind have been arguing this for a while because we made a bet. How do you say Arkansas? Ar-kan-saw? or Ar-Kan-Ses? random question, but i have $5 on the line!!
Wes Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Uhhhh...Ar-kan-saw. http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19980331
USRoadTripper Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I know that Arkansas City, Kansas is pronounced ar-KAN-ses city, because I have a friend that's from there. Never heard the state pronounced that way though. -Julie
the sound Posted August 3, 2006 Author Posted August 3, 2006 YEs! You guys have earnt me 5$! Thanks. I'll send him a link to this sight.
AndrewCT Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I have a question for people from Arkansas too! Is Dogpatch U.S.A. demolished yet, or can I still sneak in and screw around with there stuff?
OzCatter Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Being partially raised in southern Missouri, just north of Arkansas, it's definatly Ar-Kan-Saw And yes, there is still some stuff at Dogpatch, and actually, they are starting to refurb some stuff
TheArchfiend Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 You know what Arkansas has? Rock farms. Do you guys know what rock farms sell? That's right. Rocks. I kid you not. I was Arkansas one time and I saw tables with rocks on them in front of some beat up house. In the front lawn was a sign that said "Rock Farm". The only more ridiculous thing than that is that there were actual people there buying rocks from said farm. I got a picture of it somewhere that I'll dig up and scan. Oh Arkasas... you so silly.
CoasterFanatic Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Ha Ha! You think that you are going to get responses from people living in Arkansas, but you have forgot one important thing ... There is no Internet in Arkansas.
TheArchfiend Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 ^ Hold on.... Is someone in West Virginia making fun of Arkansas?
ImAPrincess Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 That's the NORTHERN PANHANDLE of West Virginia. We can drive from Ohio, thru WV and to PA in less than 5 minutes, so technically we're more Pittsburgh than WV Plus, we wear shoes, have teeth, and internet!
bgwfreak Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 ^ And you have the West Virginina Ripoff Turnpike too. lol
TheArchfiend Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I heard the University of Arkansas' library burnt to the ground. Both books were destroyed. The really sad part is that one of them wasn't completely colored in yet. That's actually a University of Mississippi joke but I changed it to fit in better here I got a ton of these that one of my History professor's used to tell all the time in college. He had no problem poking fun of his own as he was a self respecting Southna'.
ImAPrincess Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 ^ And you have the West Virginina Ripoff Turnpike too. lol That's in the southern part of WV... \\no toll roads in the northern panhandle.
Luxo Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Damn! An entire thread about Arkansas is created during the week I'm away in NYC. To answer some questions... Dogpatch U.S.A. is now privately owned, so you run the risk of being fined by sneaking in there, but some of the rides are standing. Arkansas does have internet, but broadband and cable have yet to catch on.
