Most obese state in the US. And lots and lots of trees. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 11/03/2010 03:46:51 PM
When you hear or read anything about Mississippi, what do you think? What comes to mind? I am a born and raised native Mississippian and I am curious about what people on the outside think of my state.

Before the jokes roll in,
Yes, we do have running water
yes, electricity finally rolled in a few years back.


That is what I think of when I hear Mississippi.
