God Bless You for that great reference. Made me smile.This is gonna be way out there, but “Mystery Science Theatre 3000:Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues” reminds me of Arkansas lol that episode has a direct line to my funny bone, I’ve seen it countless times and still crack at up it through the whole thing.
TMIWhen attending Univ of Tennessee circa 1975-1979, a few of my good friends were members of AGR, the Ag Fraternity right behind the Lambda Chi where I resided. Stoney Curry, from Pulaski TN (family were hog farmers), convinced me, a kid from NJ, to take Farm & Animal Management Science as an elective out on the Ag campus. It was a helluva class. We ear notched piglets; castrated calves and pigs; cleaned out dairy cattle stalls and well, it was my only class at UT where I got manure on my shoes. The climax of the class though was walking into the Sow Barn. Here you have approximately 100 or more 2,000lb sows laying in a metal cage/gurney of such (so that they cannot roll over on their youngins and kill them) feeding their dozen or so piglets. The sows are very limited in their ability to move, so basically, they lie down and eat and poop in the same position for several weeks (until piglets are not being weened). To exacerbate the situation, heat lamps hover over the sows so as to keep the piglets warm - which thusly also heated up the sow poop. So, when our class entered the sow barn, I personally almost was knocked backwards from the horrendous smell of emanating from the heat lamps warming up the nice poop. (FYI, I called on pulp & paper plants for years and the smell from the black liquor heating up and breaking down the wood chips is like roses compared to a sow barn)
If I had known the word Sooouiiieeeee back then in 1979, I damn well would have belted it out because it is probably the best word on the planet to describe a smell so vile and caustic. In fact, the last time I smelled this atrocious odor was on a business trip years back when I drove through Fayetteville. Roll down your windows or be prepared to yell soooouiiee this weekend in Fville, cuz there's an odor about ready to explode on the campus when the Vols roll over the hawgs.
I just thought it was a state call to all of the fat women in that areaWhat a huge embarrassing tradition! Im so glad pigs arent our mascot!

Yeah NWA might as well be a totally different state than the rest of Arkansas. It’s where all the money, population growth and development are. Walmart, Tyson and JB Hunt are slowly making it the economic driver instead of Little Rock like it’s been forever. I’ve seen some models that predict it to turn into the next Austin (hopefully without the crime and homelessness problem) over the next few decades.NW Ark is a hidden Gem but I'd rather live in Middle/East Tennessee.
PORK BELLIES !!!!You lying hog haters, admit it. You love pig, yes you do, you know it.
Now pass the Tabasco hot sauce my way, and be snappy about it.

Wasn’t the setting supposed to be West Virginia? I think I knew it was filmed in Georgia.
Either way, I had heard Deliverance and Sling Blade quoted long before I ever watched the movies. I had a very strong southern accent growing up and kids are jackasses when you change schools in middle school.
