rhyll	Posted Jul 2nd, 2009 at 1:25AM Missouri or as some would pronounce it 'Missery'; MO. I could name my city but not even people who live in missouri know where it is so I generally just say close to Kansas City. Kansas city is a city that actually sits on both sides of the state line seperating Missouri and Kansas. IF you ever come to Kansas City make sure to note the state you are in at the time. People tend to take great offense to you saying that your in Kansas City Kansas when you are actually in Kansas City Missouri. I found that out the hard way growing up. People are so weird that way.
