But that's better than getting yer A** kicked, right????
Arse, teeth. It's a personal preference.

Unfortunately, I know where Wisconsin is. All you have to do to find it is follow the stench that vaguely smells like cheese .

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.
Well, from my point of view, y'all are yankees, every last one of ya. Or maybe that should be spelled yanquis

Years ago the family was watching the news. They were showing film (remember film?) of demonstrations in South America. The crowd was chanting "Yankee Go Home". Grand dad's only comment was "Damn right."

Other ways to get a good A** whoopin' around here:
Yell "Go Cards!" in Lexington and surrounding counties while talking about college basketball
Refer to Lexington or Louisville as the state capitol
Refer to either of those two towns as 'a little hick town' Sure they're not NYC, but if you want a hick town, visit Irvine, Campton, or some place of that sort. I can take you 20 mi one way and show you a redneck town, or as far the other way and show you a fully fledged modern city with all the trim. It's called diversity
There are probably more that I'm not thinking of. Feel free to come visit anytime

Now you're just testing my travels. Ok, you want to talk about redneck hick KY towns? Try Burdine, Pikeville, Hazard, Harlan, Jenkins, Prestonsburg, etc. If you want redneck, there it is. You seem to be hung up on western KY, but are totally forgetting the eastern end of the state where all the coal miner's tootheless daughters live. That's where you have to scrape the owl crap off the clock to see what time it is.
Sounds like home to me!!!

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~Mark Twain
Can we Northerners at least tell you the correct way to cook bratwurst ? It's called "Sheboygan Style", after the town in Wisconsin. First, you put the brats in a pot of beer for about 30 minutes & let them marinate. Then, you boil it in the beer marinade for about 5-10 minutes. Finally, grill until ready to eat. If you like, you may add some warm barbecue sauce
I dunno Mike the only "Brat cookin" I know of in North Carolina is when the younguns act bad and get their seats fired up.
And old Raven being a southerner is like saying Nova Scotia is just like Quebec because they are in the same country but louder and talk funny. The Quebecers I mean.

Birddog, he called me a Yankee. That's far enough from the truth. Calling me a Southerner is just silly. Honestly, I don't know who talks funnier, Quebecois or New Scots.
You know, out here in the west, people think the east consists quebec, and the rest of us are Newfoundland. My boss told me the other day that "BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan should become Canada. The rest of them are really just England and France anyway, so let them go back." Mind you, he's a Bosnian who's been here for 9 years and thinks he's got us all figured out.
I guess we have the same sort of rivalry up here that you guys have. You'd think it's English vs. French, but it's really Ottawa vs. the rest of Canada. (Ottawa is our national capitol, if that made no sense)
