Just remember when you go to the local watering hole after work, in the North the war is over.;)

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while, probably because it rings true.

Raider, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say don't worry about it, you won't blend.

Crappie is pronounced croppie, not crappy. We don't have brim or bream or shellcrackers, they are bluegills and sunfish. crawfish is pronounced crayfish, We also don't have bugs or snakes that will kill you where you lie, we have people for that. Depending on your travels, pop, soda, and coke all mean the same thing except when you stop at Taco Bell or Culvers and they ask "Are Pepsi products ok?" Pizza is also known as pie. Spaghetti sauce is called gravy. If you make it to any of the major cities and eat the food, you may never find your way back home.

Connecticut. For 6 weeks.

I'm wearing some camo overalls no shirt. My wellington Carolina boots a confederate bandanna with a cowboy hat over it and a piece of hay in my mouth for my arrival. I'm driving up so I will be there the night before work starts. First words outta my mouths gonna be a big ol' "How yall boys doin up heya!?!"

By God I got this planned out. Glad I got a Mississippi boy and a Georgia boy going too. They are in on it too.

Remember to describe everything with the "Wicked" in front of it.

 

Wicked Good, Wicked Hard, Wicked Cold, And Wicked Mad.

 

And if you drink too much - you're Wicked "Hammad"

 

Good Luck and I'll call ahead for you and warn them you're coming.

Dude I'm from the South, just spent time up there, it's a lot like a prison sentence for a southern country boy. Once they hear that southern draw, it's over.

BTW CT this time a year will freeze your southern giblets. :)

You need to walk the streets of Greenwich, Connecticut with a hidden camera I would LOVE to see the reaction you would get from those people would make for a good watch lol

Well the Bostonians are gonna be called chowda heads. Yankee is too complex for my Southern vocabulary. I'm shortening it to Yank.
