Anybody from Dixie?

[Gumbolette 58]

from Louisiana here...

[Señor Bonito 2]

Albeit I am of Ilocano ancestry, I reckon there's a pint of Southern blood in me because I know that NASCAR stands for "Non Athletic Sport Created Around Rednecks". :lol:

[tallcoolone 102]

In the South:

We grow up hunting and fishing, it's a natural part of our lives.

We are taught to respect our elders and pay respect to them.

We have Southern Hospitality and some of the best food in the USA.

We are friendly to strangers......

To all y'all who responded to this topic, I'm much obliged! To y'all Filipinas who are coming to the South and to those already here, go whole hog and I reckon everyone will be in high cotton and will be pure Southern Belles. And to you gentlemen, don't be scalawags now, don't you hear? And don't be like a bump on a log and remember that the sun don't shine on the same dog's tail all the time. Till then, go hog wild now. :thumbs:

Hi there, Bubba. I did not understand some of your Southern slang words and phrases here ... "much obliged" ... "go whole hog" ... "high cotton" ... "bump on a log" ..., etc Don't you ever speak regular English, boy?

Yessir, that's the way I am. But do you reckon I am letting my mouth overload my tail now? Well, I speak that way, every dog should have a few fleas, ya know. And I ain't a good ol' boy for nothin'.

To Robert E. Lee ... This is Ulysses S. Grant again. How's it going, General? You Rebels of the Confederate South and us Yankees had our differences before. Again, differences still currently exist between the North and the South but, thanks Lord, they do not warrant another unholy Civil War. For the benefit of the uninformed, let me enumerate some of the differences:

1. The North has green salads. The South has collard greens.

2. The North has Ted Kennedy. The South has Jesse Helms.

3. The North has Mafia. The South has NASCAR.

4. The North has lobsters. The South has crawdads.

5. The North has cream of wheat. The South has grits.

6. The North has coffee houses. The South has waffle houses.

7. The North has fish and chips. The South has KFC.

8. The North has Archie Bunker. The South has Andy Griffith.

9. The North has Boston beans. The South has black eyed peas.

10. The North has pike and walleye. The South has largemouth bass and catfish.

To all y'all my Yankee friends from the North - I'm fixin' to tell ya that ya ain't from Dixie if ya:

*Reckon barbecue is a verb meaning "to cook outside".

*Prefer oatmeal to grits for breakfast.

*Eat fried chicken with a fork and knife.

*Ain't seen nothin' wrong with putting a sweater on a poodle.

*Would rather vacation at Martha's Vineyard than Six Flags.

*Would rather see your son on Wall Street than grow up to get his own TV fishing show.

*Instead of referring to 2 or more people as "y'all", you call 'em "you guys", even both of 'em are women.

*Don't know anyone with 2 first names (i.e. Joe Bob, Billy Ray, Thelma Lou, Billy Bob).

*Get freaked out when them people on the subway talk to you.

*Ain't never seen a live chicken before.

*Say that the Braves ain't gonna be in the World Series no more.

Dixie ... are you sure you want to announce where you are from?

there are people within this country who will associate your comment with "redneck" ... "uneducated" ... "will marry a cousin" ... etc ... etc ...

anyway ... it's your choice ...

There are people within the south who will take offense to being looked down on ... if you get my meaning ...

For people moving to the South ... it's the war of northern aggression ... where REL turned traitor at the surrendering grounds ...

The list above is a joke ... are you ready for Southerners ... and Northerners to make jokes about the PI in a like manner ... without the PI people getting offended?

Hint: I'm not trying to start a flame war ... just trying to give equal time ...

That said ... got any more good jokes? I've heard many ... have spent many years both North and South of the M.D Line ... bring it on ...

I

I'm just trying to be helpful ... many here will not accept this ... much to their loss.

Life in the US ... especially the rural southern areas .... can be hard on "people not from here" .... I have personal experience just being a "damn yankee" ... oh well ... I'm only trying to help ...

I'm proud to be a Southerner and, likewise, those comparisons between the North and the South made by AJAnTess wouldn't ruffle my feathers either. I reckon these are just humorous dialogues to ease the burden at the immigration lines.

Be like the old lady who fell out of the wagon, Natty boy. Mind your own mod job and stay away from them threads.

"DAMN YANKEE"!!!
