ha. that ain't nuthin! you should live in Alabama and hear the
things them Yankees (like from Gawga and Tennessee and Virginia)
say behind your back, when they think you aren't looking ...

Kudzu-Breath.
Possum-F**ker
Buzzard-cousin
No-Shoes-Bubba
Bubba
Neckus-Reddus
Toothless-Tommy
Outhouse-Andy
Andy
Barney (NOT the stupid purple dinosaur. Yankees (like from Gawga
and Tennessee and    Virgina) don't watch tv or videos. well
...cept for them Van Damm movies.
Mayberry Moron
Hayseed (sometimes, it's more like "Hey! Seed!!")
Hick
Hillbilly
and the list, sadly, goes on and on ...

i'm just glad i don't live in Auburn ... those poor dumb stupid
people REALLY get called a lot of hateful names. specially around
football season. ;)

when, i say, when will all this divisiveness and ridicule end?
i'll tell ya when! when all them idiots from other states (and a
few big cities) learn to drive!! boy, you should see them cars
with out-of-state plates weaving all over the road, driving like
Hell-was-on-fire and just generally not thinking or paying
attention!!! makes a fellow want to go back to riding a mule! it
was a lot safer (smellier, though)! and you didn't have to pay no
$1.50/gallon for grass and water ... just stop a bit alongside
the highway. :)
