Rikki: We had a shootout in Picayune!
Me: What?
Rikki: We had a shootout!
Me: Like, one person got shot?
Rikki: No, three people. Two of them died.
Me (still trying to figure out if it was a shooting or a shoot-out): Did one person shoot them or were they all shooting at each other?
Rikki: Two of them were shooting at each other and one was an innocent bystander.
Me: Did the innocent bystander die?
Rikki: Yeah.
Me: That's sad. Where was it? The church parking lot?
Rikki: No. At the bent-can store. They have really good chicken fingers at there at Alberts, but I haven't been back since the murders.
So, naturally I'm trying to figure out why two people were shooting at each other at the bent-can store, and simultaneously missing Mississippi because there is no place quite like it.
I guess I kinda find it funny that a shooting is what caused you to think you miss Mississippi, haha.
ReplyDeletesome questions. What is a "bent-can store"? Is it the same as Alberts? Near Alberts? Are the murders she references the same as the shootings, or is that different?
ReplyDeleteHaha yes Greg I guess that is funny. and Sad.
ReplyDeleteAbby:
Alberts is the bent can store. It's the place where you go if you're a college student to buy cheap groceries in bent cans and banged up boxes. Now that I'm a "scientist" I call it the Botulism station.
But you can get good cereal there for cheap.
The murders are the same as the shootings, which was why i found it funny that she called it "the murders".
