Well then, we'll just assume you've got your Mountie Uniform on, chasing moose around, Matt.

Matt has been watching too much Jerry Springer.

Canada is, after all, the proud home of The Trailer Park Boys.

I love Southern accents and root beer floats...but you won't catch me putting peanuts in Coke...the mother in me shudders at the choking hazard alone, never mind how it would taste.

Down in Texas, it's salted peanuts in a Dr. Pepper

But it's mostly the old timers who do that.

You better run. I'm from the south and I'm no redneck, and I don't live in a trailer, and I am not trash, nor do I know anyone who is.

I've been to canada...there are rednecks, trailer trash, and loud and obnoxious people up there too. Obviously you've never been very far away from home.

Texi, Bama, and SG - I'd like to thank you Southern Belles for using your Dixie charm to correct our misinformed Northern friend with such grace and tact. This loud obnoxious New Yorker wouldn't have been nearly as polite.

Oh and thanknks Duxxy and AJ too.

Why? Isn't Jerry representative of all of America?

I'm loud and obnoxious. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

AJane · 07-16-2004, 12:04 PM

C'mon, you guys, give Matt a break...up here, we only know what we see on Spike TV

Bama was using Dixie charm? And here I thought it was just plain ol' redheaded temper.

Bama knows I love her, dontcha Bama?

Matt,
If someone had been bashing gays, would you have thought they were joking? Would you have cared if they were only joking?

Some things are just not considered funny....people bashing of any kind is usually high on the list.

Errr yeah sure Jane - I'm your favorite lil southern trailer dwelling redneck right?
