(I don’t actually have any opinions about Missouri)
As a Missourian I wish I could leave too
People always pick on Missouri, but whenever I’ve been there, I’ve always found the locals to be kind and welcoming. It really is true, Missouri loves company.
Meanwhile it’s the only place I’ve seen someone stick their head out of a car window and yell at a black person walking down the street to, and I will use their exact phrase as I remember it even 12 years later:
“Go back to monkey Island you stupid dirty niiiiiiiiiig…” And he was silenced by the car driving away before he could finish, but it should be obvious
Missouri has two major cities
Sad Springfield noises
No one sober would ever consider Springfield MO or Springfield IL to be anywhere near the word MAJOR city. Both are destitute compared to the actual cities in their states
Oh yeah? Well, would a non-major city host the world’s second largest fork?
I’d never heard of this particular Springfield so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia St. Louis is the 22nd largest city by population in the US and Kansas City is 34th. Neither are huge but I think major city applies. Springfield on the other hand ranks 143rd. I’m not even sure most people would consider it a city.
Woah woah woah. Springfield is definitely a city. It says so right in the logo:
(Real talk, folks. I don’t care if anyone considers Springfield a “major city” or even a “city” at all. It’s just funny to think of an anthropomorphic caricature of Springfield, Missouri crying over a perceived slight to its ego.)
When I say it out loud it sounds like misery to me so no wonder haha
