  • When can I call myself a Southerner?

    Well, I've been down here ten months, but I was born in the South, and I did live here a few years back in the late 60s and 70s. Unfortunately, most of the people around here are from the North, so I'm not picking up much of a Southern accent.

    When do I get to be a Southerner!?!

    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

    "When do I get to be a Southerner!?!"

    When you repent of your evil ways. Then we might think of letting you be one of us.

      Ugh -- I'm ashamed of you Chegitz.

      Why would any sensible person like you aspire to become a Southerner??

        When you start wearing a cowboy hat, or speak with a southern drawl.

        A bull-horn hood orniment might also suffice.

          "When do I get to be a Southerner!?!"

          When y'all is common vocabulary.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              I say "y'all" all the time. (Even twenty five years in the North couldn't kill that.). . . As for the cowboy hat, I ain't buyin' one 'till I can afford a genuine Stetson.

                And don't forget the boots. Oh man, you should see my favorite boots. Beautiful multi-colored stitching.

                  I had a friend who had purple cowboy boots. Oh good they were among the ugliest things I've ever seen. Theben's girlfriend.

                      Have you eaten grits yet? That's the true mark, you know .

                          It really depends on how nice you are when you pass someone by in something like a hallway.

                          If you'll only see them for a couple seconds, you nod your head.

                          If you have a bit more time you say something like "Hey."

                          If there is a lot of time you say "How's it going?" - "Fine, how about you?" - "Fine." Or something to that affect.

                            I've never liked grits, least not the way Mom made them (she's a Kentuckian), butter and salt. Whole hominey, though, I love.


                            I was thinkin' 'bout gator boots, Slow, livin' in Florida and all.
