My score is dropping like a stone. Maybe I'm a City Slicker after all.

[Quilla]

Excellent try! I'm about as southern as they come, and I couldn't answer all of 'em. You missed a few - the one about the steer - think mountain oysters. Three legs and a rope - here's a hint - contestant throws hands up when he's through.

[maximus@Nashville]

#15...a steer, like a mule, cannot reproduce. A steer is a castrated bull.

[Pugsy]

Help you a little here,... mules are sterile and steers are castrated = no offspring :0)

[Loopy]

LOL, I AM A CITY SLICKER!!!!

[Brookhaven]

More questions:

Who's Earl? (There used to be only one possible answer until the Dixie Chick's song, now there are two.)

or

Who are Lester and Earl? (Now only one possible answer.)

[Loopy]

Who says "You'll like the way we do "bidness"?

[TommyDale]

[Brookhaven]

Another southern question:

What is corn (as in the song Jimmy Crack Corn?)

[oceanperch]

Cannot answer any as my nanny carried me on her hip untill I was two then moved to Calif. could not walk or talk did not need to. Finally grew up to live free range in Oregon.

[Diverdogz]

I always thought of Panama City Beach as the Redneck Riviera. Destin is too upscale for Jethro and Ellie Mae.

[HiJinx]

28. fat, juicy, green grape...that other honking big grape is purple, a muskeedine (sp), and you can't eat the skins on either.

I wonder if that's the grape Gran'ma used to call Bull-lips, down in Greene Co., MS?

[HiJinx]

20) What did The Baldwin Sisters make?

They made what was known locally as 'The Recipe', and that there was some goo-ooood drinkin'!

[MoralSense]

[SAMWolf]

Corn liquer in a jug.

[Eddeche]

I feel I should get extra credit for knowing that 'vienna' is correctly pronounced as 'vy-eena'.

[TommyDale]
