Buc, just a point on the southern people being backawards. I saw an interesting documentary over the weekend about southern culture.
There was a piece on "accent and dialect".
This dialect coach from California said that the way we talk down here is more like the way they used to talk in the upper classes of England and Scotland. It's just now, with the biases against the south in the media and "cultural elites", we have been perceived to be backwoods.
Seeveee, come on down, I'll cook you up some vittles with saw gravy, and then we'll kill us a 'possums and fry her up, then maybe head over to a dog fight..........after we kick your ass.
