I'm in the booming town of Rogers, Arkansas working for the Golf Channel right now! What a backwards ass hillbilly state!
I was on a military exercise for a month there... and we were bored has heck so we starting listening to to people's cell phone calls for entertainment (yes I realize we shouldn't have been doing that). After a few days we knew voices and names... we knew who was cheating... "I'm going to tell my husband I am going to Walmart but I will run over to your place..." etc.. Anyway... backwards ass hillbillies sums up my impression also.
They are gonna see this post and short-sheet your bed, HCP. You know they finally got the internets in Arkansas last spring. barfo
The funny thing I was here for the same tourney 3 years ago and the manager behind the HERTZ counter is from Salem! I was wearing a UofO hoodie yesterday and he said, hey I remember you form last time! You were wearing a Blazer jacket! Must not be much goin' on here if he remembered the HCP!
In Idaho, if you "arkansas" a bird while hunting it means you have shot it on the ground (highly unsportsman, because it's pretty damned hard to miss a bird that isn't flying with a shotgun.) I always wondered if the term was unique to just my hunting buddies, or if it has historic or cultural significance. Perhaps in the South they say, "It was so easy to fuck my sister. She was just laying there drunk. Yup, gave 'er the ol' Arkansas." Maybe you could ask somebody.

I knew that every cell phone call is searched for key words by giant computers, but I didn't know that just any local troops can listen in, in real time.
