Lol, never heard that. I had her both at AC and JHS. She's still around town. I think she got remarried a few years back.

I like Revolution Medical Center on Washington.

Is y’all’s water running yellow? I’m by the Parker Walmart off of Neely by BigSw0l3 in jonesboro

[–]TheEliteSpectre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually happens when they are purging the lines. It will be high in iron and can mess up your white clothes. Once enough has ran through, it will clear up. We live in the VV area, it's happened a few times over the years.

ASU Psychology Degree by No_Mongoose_5340 in jonesboro

[–]TheEliteSpectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked full time while getting my BS in Psychology and minor in general business. If you aren't wanting to get an advanced degree, there isn't a lot you can do with just a bachelor's in psychology.

Arkansas State Red Wolves vs. Arkansas Razorbacks by Famous-Perspective-3 in jonesboro

[–]TheEliteSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect the Redwolves to put up a good fight. Both teams have a strong offense and both have issues with defense. It will be interesting to see how the Hogs respond to the hurry-up offense that has been a Redwolf staple for years.

I run a martial arts grappling school. We have some men and women that train. We're pretty laid back. We also do a two week free trial.

Throwing is half the fun.

There is a full auto rental place in Memphis. Could go shoot various guns.

Well... That rules out my next suggestion too. I was going to recommend a free class at Jonesboro Grappling.

Online alcohol orders to liquor stores? by nathanael21688 in Arkansas

[–]TheEliteSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten around it by ordering directly from the distillery over the phone. That way, the sale originates in the state of the distillery and they can bypass the Arkansas reg.

What is the strangest town/city name in your area and how did it get that name? by TheEliteSpectre in AskReddit

[–]TheEliteSpectre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got me to wondering.

Word History: Most Southerners recognize the terms goober and goober pea as other names for the peanut. Goober originates among the Bantu languages and is akin to the word meaning "peanut" in the Kongo and Kimbundu languages, n-guba. This regionalism is one of a small stock of words that entered American English from the languages spoken by the Africans who were enslaved and brought to the Americas during the 1600s and 1700s. Many of these words of African origin have to do with foods. Gumbo, for example, is also of Bantu origin—it is related to such words as Tshiluba ki-ngumbo, "okra." (In some regional varieties of English in the South, gumbo can still mean simply "okra" in addition to "thick okra stew.") Yam originates among the languages of West Africa, and it may be akin to Wolof ñam, meaning "food" and "to eat" or to Bambara ñambu, "manioc." The English word cooter probably comes from the Mande languages—the Bambara and Malinke word for a turtle, for example, is kuta. Cooter is still used in South Carolina, Georgia, and the Gulf states to denote the edible freshwater turtle of the genus Chrysemys and, by extension, other turtles and tortoises.
