Me? sounding all posh? ...yeah like that! Still prefer muppet thou

It's such a shame you can't manage to channel your energy into something useful instead of slinging personal insults left, right and tuesday.

Cheers

Oh dear . . . Hey, Kettle . . . you are black!

Is u fer reel?

The only reason I offer this correction is because it isn't likely someone would say it to you.

Thanks, mate . . . another reason I wouldn't hear that is because I'm not too keen on spending time with inbred rednecks who think roadkill is haute cuisine.

Well, since you said mate I'm not offended.

I think you're comical, and just a bit sad.

Nah, not sad, quite the contrary . . .

Would you believe I was married in the deep south? Southern Baptist friends of mine, whom I studied with at Northwestern, did the 'ceremony', very sweet people . . . though toasting was a bit of a let-down with orange cordial.

lol! That's funny, but not surprising. Most southerners don't drink and in many places it's illegal to sell alcohol.

Is that why Budweiser is brought in by the 18 wheeler load to virtually every small town in Texas and Louisiana?

Funny if you hear about it afterwards . . . not so funny if you left the organisation up to your drinking buddy who then went and married a SB preacher's daughter . . .

(Outside of the S. Baptists, I'm sure southerners drink more than the average Merkin . . . bunch of drunks., but fun)

I won't speak for Louisana and Texas, but in Antebellum southeast you'll find most southerners don't drink and many counties are still dry. The cities are full of snowbirds from nothern U.S. and Canada that drink it though. They say the only good thing coming out of Louisiana is I-20, and I'd think the drink of choice in Texas to be tequila or Pearl, not Bud.

BTW, when I say "southerner" I'm excluding snowbirds.

Well, My mom's from southern West 'by god' Virginia (Bluefield) and while that's not Georgia, it damned sure the south, course there are subtle differences between a redneck an a hillbilly, but the shine is still good, but to be honest some of the best shine I ever had came from areas along the Catawba river in N. & S. Carolina while doing diving inspections of the many dams along that river.

Okay, enough already! lol! I acknowledge defeat... there are people in the south that drink, millions of them!

Our definition of a southerner is apparently different. I was referring to Quasi-'s post where he used the term "deep south". Generally speaking I'd consider that below the gnat line. (So would most southerners) These people generally hold old tradition, black and white, regulars at church on Sunday and bible study on Wednesday. They usually don't drink.

But I'll tip my hat to all the redneck, hillbilly, snowbird friends and relatives people here seem to know in the south with a hearty "bottoms up!" lol!

I often wondered why they use an antebellum home on the label for Sudden Discomfort? Sorry, Southern Comfort. And dem Tenneessee hills and mountain spring waters are pretty good for Jack Black, which, not surprisingly, finds the distillery in a dry county.

But you are right about lots of folks not drinking in the deep south (at least that they'll admit too that is - check out the back corner of their bedroom closet though! You gotta watch them Southern Baptists I'm telling ya! I spent 7 years in Louisiana and a year or so in Texas as well but ALL dem oil hands, be dey from de south or de north all swill anything they can get there hands on including Billy Beer. (Bit hard to find one of dem now though.)

Crikey - and I thought us Aussies were bad with our stories from the "southern state" - well, territory!
