If Lee had listened to Longstreet and flanked Meade at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett up the middle, you'd be paying taxes to Richmond instead of Washington.

Maybe true... but the South needed to repel Grant at Vickburg as well, which was a more critical loss to the South. (or if you fought a hit and run war based on the mountains) BTW if the "War for States Rights" were fought today "you would kick their ass"...in addition, read "Blacks in Grey" to subdue yankee claim it was about slavery. As Longstreet said we should have freed the slaves then fired at Fort Sumter

Being from the North Carolina, right near the South Carolina Border, I was raised saying "drink" for what ya'll call Coke.(The county I am from was dry at the time, no booze.) When we moved to KY everyone thought we were asking for alcohol, had to adjust that one real quick.

LOVE my sweet tea, everyone in KY thinks I'm nuts when I ask if their tea is sweet. "We got packets.." EEEEWWWWW! And never mind asking for grits. Never, ever eat grits without some butter in them.(Though they are real good with fried fish, yum!)Don't forget the collards, a lotta folks turn lots of colors when you talk about them, and the oysters, steamed open you scrape them out of the shell and slurp them down (with sweet tea and hush puppies).

And in my neck of the woods BBQ is PORK!! Not beef. We had them pig pickin's for everything..annivers'ries..weddin's, birthdays, the deer dog had puppies..shoot..we didn't need no stinking reason.

Sorry my post is so long...ya'll got me homesick..don't want mine kicked next..;-)

[Aric2000]

ROFLMAO!! I am laughing so hard that I am crying, that was wonderful!!! I lived down south, and I could really hear my friend Dennie telling me this!! ROFLMAO!!!

[Marauder]

Can anyone imagine working as a waitperson in Atlanta during the Olympics and trying to explain grits to someone from - for example - Germany or Poland?

[nopardons]

This has been OVERPOSTED at FR, and wasn't worth it the first 1/2 dozen times. You regonalists are just Balkanizing this site.

[irish_lad]

Well, when a man talks like this to me, he askin' for a good ass whuppin. Which one of you sonsabitches is first?

[Economist_MA]

Lot's of respect to the South, but when I was in Atlanta ten days ago for a conference and had to witness what happens if a southern city is hit by about two inches of snow. Mayhem doesn't even describe it.... and please, please, please stay at home if you don't know how to drive on the funny white stuff. Other than that I really enjoyed my visit :-))).

The South seems to have this group inferiority complex about that ass-whupping they received in the 1800's. Maybe they need therapy or a hug.

[Sawdring]

Did you hear that all across the South they are raising the legal age to buy liquor to 32? They are trying to keep alcohol out of the highschools.

[Dan from Michigan]

Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we don't give a damn. Many of us have visited hellholes like Detroit, Chicage, L.A., and D.C., and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, Delta is ready when you are. Take your ass home before it gets kicked.

HEY! DC ain't the North. We don't claim that one.

As for Detroit...it's where the weak are killed and eaten..:D

Makes sence to me!

[The Duke]

One day many years ago while hanging with my high school "homies" (modern lexicon) in great state of Tennessee the discussion turned to integration of the school system. More than one eyebrow arched as I declared loudly..."I believe in bussing".

As my buddies started to circle and prepared to deliver to me an "ass whopping" I clarified..."Bussin' 'em up side tha head!", and all was once again good with the universe.

[peabers]

Don't order a bottle of pop of a can of soda down here. Down here it's called Coke. Nobody gives a flying damn whether it's Pepsi, RC, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, or whatever...

You forgot Nehi Grape, and it's always sipped through a layer of Lances salted peanuts.

[RightOnline]

.................'n' if y'all happen t' have a flashy sports car with Yankee plates on it, don't even think 'bout speedin' down here in God's Country.

Relocated Yankees (and where I live is just chock-full of 'em) just don't seem to have figured that one out.................then wonder why they find themselves talkin' to Trooper Yancey Dean Butterbean through their drivers' side window so often.

[RightOnline]

.........AND..........if my name's Jim, and if you are from the South, 's'alright to call me "Jimbo". If yer a damn Yankee and call me that, I'll kick yer ass!!

"THE SOUTH - LIKE IT OR WE'LL KICK YOUR A$$!"

No, no you won't. We Midwesterners can be mean, very mean.

[TatieBug]

As a proud Southerner, this is FANTASTIC! I miss the south alot and hope to get out of the LEFT COAST CALIF before it's too late! Thanks for the post.
