Confessions of a Yankee...or why I love the South

[Chewie]

Southern

I'm another proud son of the south. Born and raised around Winchester Virginia. We have to put up with those idiots in northern Va and DC but if you squint right you can't even see them. Here in central VA the people are fairly laid back but amazingly tolerant. The one thorn in the rose is the ever increasing number of Yankees who come down here to live. I don't like the attitude of many of them. Have you ever heard the "dumb Bubba" stereo type from some shrill New York city pain in the backside? The manners I was raised with didn't let me say what I wanted but I did encourage her to leave as quickly as possible if she didn't like it here. I even offerd to buy her the bus ticket. That woman had no sense of humor at all.

The good part about being down here is you can do what you want. No zoning laws, no idiots telling what you can and can't do, right to carry law in state constitution, but the bad part about living down here is you can do whatever you want, no zoning laws, idiots can do whatever they want, EVERYBODY has a gun or five or six and will shoot you if you make them mad, politeness is not an option, it is required. Beneath the veneer of the southern politenes is an undercurrent of violence which will surface when the situation warrants. I have the Tennessee river to play in, two wildlife areas within 20 miles to camp, backwaters to canoe, fish, hunt deer and coyotes, all within 20 minutes of my house. I also have Klan meetings, trailer parks from hell, countless junk cars in yards, and neighbors that definitely have signs of in breeding all within 20 minutes of my house. I would not want to live anywhere else, but there is a few things that could use a little work.

Anyone not from the south is a Yank, even if the state they now reside in was not in the union at the time, just ask a southerner.

So what does that make me? I was born several thousand miles south (and several thousand miles eastward) of the Mason-Dixon line, in South Africa, and moved directly to Louisiana as my state of residence in the USA. I guess I'm from the really deep South...

Ok Preacherman...anyone else...simple test to see if one from the South.

Define: "tumped".

Use the phrase :"saucered and blowed" correctly in a sentence.

The phrase " big enough to stand flat footed and french kiss a chicken" describes what?

[ ommph - nudged again...gun related]

Name the most often used cartridge used to poach deer.

Rednecks, white sox and Blue Ribbon beer...

Yankee here.
Worked all over USA building power lines, I rented a room from a great lady in NORTH ZULTCH TEXAS I was welcomed as part of the family by the whole family what a great feeling.
They didn't even blink an eye when they found out how many guns I had with me.
Like I said I may be a yank. but my hearts in Texas.

Damn Yankees
Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent

Hey brother
Ready for Another
Dose of my Yankee Pride
In the jungle
Ya just might stumble
Onto something that you never tried

Got that right

There was trouble in the east
Worry in the west
Till the wall came tumblin' down
Shift in the sand
Rockets to the madman
Haven't heard a sound

You don't have to worry
Help is on the way
We don't need no "thank you, ma'am"
We know what they're gonna say

(They say) Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, Oh, Oh, Damn Yankee

(How we doin')

Now I say what I want
And I do what I want
And I go where I want to go
Ain't no strong man
Safe from the hang man
Baby, now, don't ya know

If you need assitance
I'll be on the way
Run into a little resistance
Ya know what they're gonna say

(They say) Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, oh, oh, Damn Yankee
Hey, hey, Damn Yankee

[guitar solo]

They landed at Plymouth Rock
The kids was ready to roll
Greasy dictator down south of us *
Lost all control *
He didn't have time to see me
He didn't have time to thank me
Suck on the barrel of my hot shotgun
Smile when you say "Damn Yankee"

Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, oh, oh, Damn Yankee
Hey, hey, Damn Yankee
Woh, oh, oh, Damn Yankee

Damn Yankee
Damn Yankee




That's for all those "Damn Yankee" jokes I've heard.........

ANM, "Yankee from Hell"
