Famous sayings? Howdy! How Y'all doin'? and Hey baby, Que Passo? Basically, they mean the same thing. We're bi-cultural around here.
Just for the record, I have'nt heard anyone say "Remember the Alamo!"

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Howdy! I am a country boy who grew up on a cattle ranch in central Idaho. The nearest town was 25 miles away (May, Idaho) and had a population of 10. So naturally, I now live in a northern suburb of Chicago. Go figure!

This urban hillbilly grew up in Marblemount, WA, see http://www.marblemount.com/marblemount.htm a small logging community in the North Cascades where the Cascade River joins the Skagit River. 40 miles from the nearest (small) town, as I disovered one time as a young lad playing Superman. It seems that my attempt to fly off the roof of the house didn't quite work out, and I landed face first on a railroad spike. Bled like a stuck pig all the way to Sedro Woolley, which now bills itself as the Gateway to the North Cascades. It was a bit of a shock when, as a teen-ager, my family moved to Paramount, CA (north of Long Beach). I adjusted, and except for three years in the small town of Idaho, ID, have been in medium to large cities ever since, including Berkeley, CA, Tacoma, WA, and Rochester, NY, which is where I am now.
Oh, I was born in Weimar. It´s a town in the middle of Germany, a town where once famous persons lived (Goethe, Schiller, and so on....). Grew up in Bad Berka, a little town 12 km south from Weimar. From age 9 till 14 I lived in Dresden. There I was a member of a famous Choir (this Choir was founded by August the Strong in the 17th Century). After this time I lived in Bad Berka. With 16 I became to be a carpenter. At the age of 25 I went to Berlin to learn the profession of an audio engineer. From 1995 till 1999 I lived in Jena, a famous and old town of University, and since 1999 I live in Erfurt. It´s the capital of Thueringen and a very old (and small) city. The first european University was founded here, and a lot of famous people lived here. (Martin Luther, Meister Eckhard, St. Bonifatius and so on....) Oh, I love to live here. It´s such a beautiful and strong place.....I cannot describe.... You must visit me!

The heart may think it knows better, the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart. ...........Elizabeth Bowen
