I finally have to admit it... Missouri is #1

The latest DEA data shows that the great state of Missouri has topped itself yet again in the race for the largest toothless population.

The rankings are based on meth lab seizures for the year. Missouri had 2,096 meth labs busted in 2011 or an average of 5.74 per day!

In Jefferson County MO alone (near StL) there were more busts than in Texas, Florida and California COMBINED!

As Argent once said.... Hold your head up... hold your head high.



Figured this could be fun, especially leading up to the game Saturday heh.

And by have, you mean have water?

Of course, I'm not on a Bears BB trashing Illinois, either. Douche.

Do you think I posted this thread to honestly trash Missouri? Not at all. It's a news story that I found to have some good timing with the college hoops rivalry happening again Saturday so I used it to have "fun" the way said rivalry often has fun.

Do I think Missouri is a bad place? Not at all. I have plenty of friends in Missouri and enjoy plenty of Missourians on this board. I respect many MU fans here... KCMizzou, luv and others because they can be passionate about their home state and home team without taking it so seriously that it runs their lives or ruins their lives if they lose or turns them into raging assholes when the topic comes up in general.

I BELIEVE anyone who has had any experience with me at all on this board understands the intention behind the thread... side-poking fun. I challenge anyone to find a KU fan on this board who has given MU their props more than I have and should MU win again Saturday I'll hand out congratulations again.

I've posted some serious things but all in all I don't take much seriously here.

Missouri is a fine state and is home to a lot of fine people and 2 of my 3 favorite sports teams. To truly hate on Missouri would be to hate on a lot of things I love.

I don't recall being there, but I used to enjoy a lot of that small town cooking. It has been 20 years now, since I traveled Western Kansas every two weeks, selling autoparts wholesale.

Heh yeah.

It's all just sports and friendly rivalry to me. I suppose there are people who think I should take it more seriously but I can't.

I think it just shows other states do not try and crack down on it.

Mr. Missouri.

I have been down there 9 times now since May, and the standard of living has already been raised, along with the base IQ and # of teeth in Stone County.

I love it though, it is beautiful there, been dreaming of it for about 30 years.

But I won't be anymore of a Mizzou fan once being a permanent resident, than I am an Illinois fan now.

I did get in the middle of an old fashioned hillbilly feud though, damn, I had no idea it could be that uncivil. Funny thing is, one guy is a transplanted Iowain and the other is a died in the wool Nebraskan. They have both been there a lot of years, and just hate the hell out of each other.

Could be but that doesn't serve my agenda here.

I've lived in Illinois about 19 years and can't find it in myself to care about U of I either. Some people I work with lament over the latest Illini basketball collapse and I'm all "yeah... but it's just U of I."

Stone county, Galena mailing address. (it could actually be a little more than 13 to Arkansas, but that seems correct.) Home of the Y bridge. That thing is something to behold, if you ever have a chance to see it. We didn't stop, but I will someday. Y Bridge

For the life of me, I don't understand why it is a Galena address, there at least 3 towns closer to our house. We are 9 miles from the closest vending machine.
