[net.misc] What do you think about the state of Mississippi?

rcj@burl.UUCP (08/25/83)

A quick survey:  please tell me via electronic mail (NOT on the net;
PLEASE no more discussions about the probability of Charmin's pronun-
ciation being changed!!!) what you think of when someone mentions
Mississippi (the state, not the river).

I will summarize and post if there is interest; I am asking because I am
from the state and heartily dislike everything > 40 miles inland from
the Gulf of Mexico.

I was reminded of my state the other day when a friend of mine brought
up an ad in an early People magazine.  Some airline was suggesting that
you vacation with them or "You could end up on a Canasta Cruise to Biloxi".
It didn't help matters that the Biloxi Hilton also had an ad in the
same issue; a suit was brought and won.  So many people do not realize
that the Gulf Coast of Mississippi is a big tourist area and has the
longest man-made white sand beach in the world.

Let me know what you think of when you hear Mississippi,
