I remember the interview team had three Harvard post-grad degree holders or doctoral candidates on it. I also remember my sister, when I was back up North before heading into the heart of the beast, saying, "But they're all backwards in Mississippi!"
Yeah, right. Them backwards Harvard Psytricyclists and Lawyers really get depressing after a while.
Mind you, I didn't really get accepted at the co-op here in central VA until I came in often,dirty, smelling like sheep, and ready to pay cash for over $1k in sheep feed. It helped when I told my little one to call the manager "Mr. Earl." But when my pickup got dirty too and I joined the sheriff's office, then they completely forgave the funny way I talk.
What Yankees and city folk don't get is if you want friendship, real wit, and good solid thinking, there's nothing like the seed 'n feed store. I'd rather sit on a stack of sacks of corn and chat with those guys than hang out in a university common room, and I DO read medieval and patristic theology and Heidegger, etc. for recreation. (I'm sick and I need help, uh, he'p.) It's just that the folks are smarter, wiser, and more kind and charitable, as a rule, in the seed 'n feed store.
“NASCAR is to Americans that Viagra is to sex.”
It hardens them?
bump for later reading
It hardens them?
It's uplifting. ;-)
Vaguely. But I remember this one:
"We give people rides, but we don't 'carry 'em.'
- We love our cousins, but we don't marry 'em.
That's what I like about the North."
I can see tailgaters at the next few NASCAR races walking around with large syringes full of beer offering free oral “immunizations” before the race.
“Unfortunately we are running out of somewhere else’s”
Ah suggest that we Southorners implement the Swisse method of full citizenship to all newbies. This would allivate the influx of yankeeism onto our local breeding stock.
Who are the Rocket Scientist?
Heck yes there is a lot of bias against the South..Used to be a Yankee myself til i came South and saw the light..It wasn’t on a train in a dark tunnel either, it was from the many good people who escaped from the north and moved down here too, to gator land..People in the rest of the country forget that nearly 80% of the people in this state are transplants from other states, including the Yankee states, not just dumb redneck hicks..Down here you either learn to think right or you get bent, folded, stapled, then glued and tattoo’d til you get it right. It’s just that when things go wrong down here the northern libs say ‘See, told ya....’ Funny, we say that when things go wrong up north, or in other parts of the country..
You mean like Rudy? Marriage, that is.
My wifes Grandma always had food on the table and I would go and eat lunch sometime..One day I went to get some tea and seen water in a mason jar..I ask Lucille why the water in the jar,,she came over to me and said SHHH Butch,it’s shine,a tablespoon a day is all you need..Don’t reckon she ever took a flu shot..Funny to this day..
“The comments made by Benny Thompson were blatantly RACIST. If a white Republican had made such comments about staffers regarding a rap concert, or Juneteenth gathering it would be all over the msm and their resignation would be demanded”
Why I do declare I see a perfect agitprop stunt herein this posting. It just warms mah heart to think we have ways and ways more to snooker them thar LiboRatMSM airheads and convert them to doodooheads (gotta put somethin in the void) at the same time.
Besides, racism is a commie propaganda term and has no rightful place in any honest real conversation. Everybody knows that us white American folks are the best there’s ever been or “they” wouldn’t spend so much effort to run us down - so why belabor the issue.
Seriously, make racsism the joke term it is and “they” will stop the blather - “your nothing but a southERN racsist !! Why thank yah kindly, so nice of ya’ll to be so aware of our differences.”
And although "That's What I Like About The South" was a little before my time, Phil Harris, if his work for Disney was anything to judge from, was a cool old guy.
Which is ruining the south because not only the "good" come; the RATS follow! They then try to remake everything in their own image.
Fact is, we make ALL foreigners get shots before we let um move into the neighborhood her in Carolina. Can’t tell what all they might be spreaden these days.
Ping.
That’s more acceptable than my thoughts of “keeping ‘um up”.
The whole point of this article is that people like you look at the South and see a bunch of dirt poor ignorant people. My husband and brothers have six figure incomes. Most people I know have college degrees in real fields like BSEE, and not some namby pamby yankee Gay Studies or some such. We have better manners, dress better, smell better, look better and hold ourselves to a much higher moral standard than any stinking yankee. I am sick and tired of stupid yankees living in what looks like a third world bombed out city like New York, Detroit or Los Angeles and looking down on those of us in Pensacola, Dallas, or Huntsville, Alabama.
No, we are most certainly not poor and no, we do not lack indoor plumbing.
Sh-h-h!!! Keep ‘em ignorant, and we can keep the best place on earth to live, all to ourselves!!!
