Just two good ole boys, never meanin' no harm...

As much as it might not be a racist symbol, it's certainly not one of inclusion and acceptance either.

Alright. Since y'all seem bound and determined to keep on about that aspect of what I said and get the bloody thread shut down, I'm going to go ahead and point out what I started to say in my response to Tom Cashel:

[edit: Oh, no you're not!]

But I didn't want to get into all that. Can we go back to just talking about how cool it might be to see people riding around in a nifty car again? Or winning a contest? Thanks.

Proctor: "Well, Mr.Nahasapeemapetilon, we're almost done here. Just one more question for you; what started the civil war?"

Apu: "There were many factors; economic, states rights..."

Proctor: "Just say slavery."

Apu: "Slavery it is!"

Seriously though, I agree with you. It's the old "a few bad apples" scenario. People see a few idiots waving the flag and suddenly they think all Southerners are racist rednecks.

Anyway, I think it would be great to make $100,000 a year by simply watching the Dukes of Hazzard. And Catherine Bach was HOT! Even when I was 6 I thought she was hot.

Since y'all seem (...) the bloody thread shut down,

Let me guess. You're from Southern England?

We were in Vacaville (just south of Sacramento in Northern California) and my mom (who's from Alabama) was shopping in JCPenneys. The cashier told her she had a cute accent and asked if she was from Southern California.

Moderator's Notes: Y'all know better than to discuss politics here. Don't do it, no way, no how.

Yeehaw!

Edit: I've edited out the longest of the political posts, but that's not to say the others are okay; I just don't want to have to edit five or six different posts.

Now, now. As someone with 4 times as many posts as me, you should know better.

As someone with a quarter as many posts as me, you should know that my posts should be consumed with a healthy dash of NaCL.

Plenty of racist rednecks wherever you look; no need to go to the South. (Good thing, too--I hate the South. )

I've lived all over, and read from all over, and my vocabulary is a terrible hodge-podge. And I have a tendency to quickly adapt to match the accent and speaking pattern of whomever I'm talking to. One of the more embarassing moments I had back when I was in computer sales was when I and the Australian couple I was showing some systems to suddenly realized that for about the last five minutes of the thirty or so we had been talking, I had been talking like them. Fortunately, they were understanding and didn't think I was making fun of them or anything.

I pick up dialects quickly, also.

Yeah, I do too -- too many penguins, all that ice, the subzero temperatures... very inhosptable place.

My motto when below the Mason Dixon: As soon as you hear the "hee", don't wait around for the "haw!"

I'd still want to ride around in the General Lee though.
