Bought one for me and the wife

Seething of jealousy.

hur hur

Proof that lasting notoriety can be realized if you are willing to work at it.

Finally! For the huge subset of Mississippians who own more sets of fine china than there are days in the week (and thus have zero need for coffee mugs), there's a REUNION SWINGERS BASEBALL CAP!

...and in yellow, even, which is one of my colors!

He belongs in Fondren. Why is he in Gluckstadt?

Can we get a “Reunion CC Weddings: we punch limo drivers” hat and t-shirt selection? lOL LOL

Hahahahaha
This is some revenue for Gluckstadt!
They will take the Reunion peeps money all day long.

Dang it! What does Rankin County have? Pork & beans?

Dammit!!! 4:33 beat me to the draw…..honestly people, if it weren’t for The meds that treat Manic Depression this wouldn’t be taking place. I had a “former” sister in law or should I talk I the new way, SIL..who screwed a family up because she never knew what she was doing and was screwing everything and everyone she could and didn’t know she was in the wrong. Maybe these women out there who are making their husbands work from “can to can’t” just to live the good life because most of them were raised with nothing (coming from and want to be something and were from South Jackson in the 80’s and 90’s and can’t get over they are getting old ( sorry ladies but age is inevitable)….anyway…I feel for the husbands for which I cannot truthfully say “man of the house” because another male has control over his wife. You know who I’m taking to. You did this to yourself and you can’t blame anyone but you hunting down that “dollar” so y’all can go to that place in Florida and we’ll…you know the rest. Your wife is screwing you as you work to pay that 2nd mortgage on the beach house. Don’t even think about saying it’s happening to me. My wife and I have seen this happen to many couples and it’s sad. We have been married for 35 years. I just wish people would take marriage more seriously

Ready to purchase a STOKES hat the moment they go on sale.

@5:41pm - Are you okay? I think you may have had a stroke.

Meh...pretty stupid actually. I'm with 7:13, start selling STOKES hats and I'm a buyer.

No, 5:16 still on vienna sausage and sardines but making some headway!

I had my own black trucker hat with big white letter "Stokes" hat made on Etsy. Less than $15.
Best money I ever spent.
Might have to head to Gluck for a pineapple hat too.

He needs to make one off of the old Afroman line "From the Delta to the Coast, we screwing the most". This is in reference to the Delta & Coast girls who move to Madison and end up screwing half the subdivision while trying to impress whoever and think they are someone special. Madison isn't Beverly Hills, Reunion Blvd isn't Rodeo Dr., & you are still flanked by Jackson and Canton.

Tacky. I question the maturity of anyone who would spend money on cups and hats like that.

Why is there so much angst and jealousy about Reunion? I live here and I love it. On top of that, my bicycles don’t get stolen!

Serious question - what would the comparable slogan / design be for Eastover?

If Reunion has the swingers club, Eastover has the _____________

8:06AM, you're getting your cliches mixed-up, again. In fact, everything in your post is so bizarrely off, it's hard to make sense of what you're trying to say.

Rodeo Drive is a patched-together, higgledy-piggledy, rehabbed SHOPPING STREET, open to anyone with a car, and to anyone capable of walking down a sidewalk. Some of the stores are expensive. But the street is not exclusive. Every tourist from everywhere, goes there.

Reunion Boulevard lies mostly within a gated planned community - built of-a-piece, by a single entity. Unless you're somebody's yard man, you have no business being there, unless you're someone's invited guest, or unless you've got the 680k (approximate current median selling price) it takes, to buy a home there.

Maybe you meant to say, "Reunion Boulevard is not Beverly Park Drive"? That would represent an equivalent step UP, in terms of entrances to gated communities.

Obviously, you haven't spent much time in Madison OR Beverly Hills. If you had, you'd realize that Madison actually exceeds Beverly Hills, in terms of Human Development Index scores. And it seems that while the median household income for Beverly Hills, is around 101k, for Madison, it's around 119k. And have you stopped to consider the scary places flanking Beverly Hills? Go down the hill from Mulholland, in either direction, and you'll find them.

Maybe you meant to say, "Madison is not Montecito"? ...or "Madison is not Sagaponack"?

The Delta and 'The Coast', are polar opposites, by the way. Delta people avoid the coast. Coast people have generally never heard of 'The Delta'.

11:11 am is a genius! I can hear the sizzle from here!!

11:11 totally missed totally the point and must not have spent much time around Reunion if they didn't get the context of 8:06's post. I did. Lots of girls from the Delta or Coast marry them a Madison boy and move to Reunion. In short order, they are screwing the neighbor/pool boy/bbq guy all the while thinking the husband is clueless. They think they are living the life of luxury when in fact it's just another gated neighborhood in central MS, except to them. In their eyes, they are living in LA, if you don't believe it, just ask one. Also, $680k for an all white spec house with no trees around?....sizzle sizzle my friends!

You're right, 12:06PM. I haven't spent much time around Reunion. In fact, except for driving my Personal Trainer around there, one afternoon, I've never been there. Frankly, the syrupy name attracts sorts who are "not my kind of people".

My Trainer was all excited about the swinger rumors, and wanted to see the pineapples. We didn't spot any. He was one disappointed underwear model, I tell ya!

On the other hand, I HAVE spent plenty of time in and around Beverly Hills. My Dentist is in the Cedars-Sinai Medical Tower (down in 'The Flats' - the cheap seats, where the lots are small), and my husband shops Battaglia (on Rodeo Drive, which is not nearly as special as you seem to think it is). We've been making the schlep out there, since before the Hotel Bel Air was bought by an ... (I got to stay there twice, before THAT happened, back in the Nineties).

Delta Girls come in three broad categories: Farm Girls, Smalltown Girls, and Public School Types. Farm Girls go to private day schools, then to 'State', grow up Methodist, pursue full-time careers, and behave themselves. Small town girls are typified by the late author, Julia Reed. They may go to boarding schools, and may go to Ole Miss or a near-Ivy like Tulane or Vanderbilt. If they screw-around, it will be in someplace better than Mississippi. They may live off trust funds. But mostly, small town Delta Girls work as professionals (bankers, attorneys...). Maybe it's the public school types to whom you refer? ...the girls nobody cared about? (and I mean NOBODY, since impoverished Delta folk move to Wyoming and Colorado, rather than subject their offspring to Mississippi's public schools).

I was a little welfare alley cat, and if I'd been pretty, I'd have "married me" uh rich long-haul trucker. But I'm from 'The Hills' - not 'The Delta'. I'd have "got me" uh nursing certificate, and the two of us would've been able to afford an entry-level house in Reunion. (instead, I endured the blood, sweat, and tears of three degrees - after which, Reunion was obviously "not a fit".)

Have you noticed that in none of the above scenaria, the wives are conforming to your FANTASY? In a place like Reunion, EVERYBODY WORKS. (Trust fund babies live in Eastover, Belhaven, Woodland Hills, or Madison-proper. And the ones I've known, have traditionally flown to LA, Amsterdam, or London, for their hanky panky.)

Oh, and while Reunion may not offer *The* Life of Luxury, by any objective standards, it offers *A* life of luxury, amid people who are vastly better-than-average. In any event "just another gated neighborhood in Central Mississippi" - regardless of which one it is - by OBJECTIVE standards - standards you can google all-by-yourself - is a pretty wonderful place.

And anyway, what you're describing is called "Cheating", not "Swinging". You must not get out much, anymore.

He has a tee shirt with a moblie home mounting another mobile home doggy-style that says "Pearl Is For Lovers".

From someone that has lived in or around Madison all my life, I would not consider Reunion to be a very exclusive neighborhood. Reunion attracts a certain type of person for sure (from all over the Southeast)... usually the showy "type A" nouveau riche kinds. (not everyone in Reunion... but many). There are a lot better/nicer subdivisions without all the drama... Deerhaven, Ingleside, Greystone, Livingston, and Annandale Estates being a few on the west side of 55. Many are retired pro sport players and long standing business owners. People that have plenty of money but don't need to be "seen" to feel important.

As long as we are geographically stereotyping people, I’ll have to add that us Delta folks reserved a special category for those that grew up on the River, such as Greenville or Natchez. They all seem to retain a little DNA from the wild, hard-living riverboat types that originally lived in those places.

The class bigotry on this comment thread is nauseating, and hilarious at the same time. To somehow think that material possessions, and geological proximity can bring satisfaction, or improve self-worth, takes a depth of ignorance that defies measurement.

The final decree was mandated many, many, years ago. We all have the same ending, and we all take with us the same amount of possessions when we meet that ending.

There was a man of vast wealth that died many years ago. At the funeral, his friends gathered, and began to discuss the departed man's material worth. One said to another, I wonder how much he left, the other friend said, he left it all. Remember, you will leave it all.

4:21PM, thank you for dropping-by to ennoble us with your Christian Socialism! I can hear The Internationale playing, as I read your truly-transformational words.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will never be materialistic, ever again: for because of you, I have seen the lite-ah!

" I have seen the lite-ah!", yeah, well you may have seen the lite-ah, but you ain't never seen a hearse being pulled by an u-haul, followed by an armored truck. Capisci?

$680k? That’s it? My boat costs more than that and will run 70+ with full fuel, ice, and bait wells. Sucks to be poor

Cute!

I know lots of good folks who live on Reunion that aren’t into all the swinging stuff. Of course, in any neighborhood there are probably cheaters.
