Ok, when Royal and I first came here for his interview and were looking at houses and stuff, we mentioned something to the realtor showing us around about the Arkansas River. We pronounced it Ar-kan-saw, like a normal person. The realtor said, ‘oh you can tell you’re not from around here, we call it the Arkansas’ Pronounced Ar-kansas, like the state of kansas with an R in front of it…R-kansas. I was like, ‘ha ha, good one’. I seriously thought it was a joke. I figured that people around here really did call it the r-kansas river, or the state of r-kansas, instead of like ar-kan-saw, like a normal person, but I thought they knew better. Then tonight, Royal and I were watching the news and something came up about a bridge that got taken out by flooding, and the news anchor pronouced the river, r-kansas. I was like, ‘what did she just say? are you serious? people actually think that’s the real name of the river??’ Royal was like, ‘yea, i told you’. I was like, ‘I thought it was just a joke’. Royal’s like, ‘nope, when the river leaves colorado, it’s called the ar-kan-saw, but when it comes through kansas, they call it the r-kansas, and then when it leaves kansas, it’s called the ar-kan-saw again’ This place is freaking retarded….
