  • Mississippians Love Irony

    Mississippi is well known for its love of irony as a literary technique, and that's why we can appreciate Plotz's article. The first paragraph says nothing good comes from Mississippi; the second paragraph mourns the loss of Elvis, a famous Mississippian. Anyone shallow enough to actually believe that Mississippi is as miserable and dead as ...

  • Re: Am I the only person here who hates August?

  • Very poor taste

    Maybe August is the month of Av in the Hebrew Calendar? Is that your reason for hating it? Octavian better known as Caesar August was the architect of the Roman Empire and unlike the shephard (king? no way) David of the Hebrew Bible a REAL person. On his dying bed he said: ''Did I play my part well? In Europe and specially in Italy, the last ...

    The only thing I hate about August is it gets so blamed hot; otherwise, well jeepers....it's my and my sister's birthday month, so I thought it was a pretty neat month, actually.
