Southern States Of America?

[Out of Order]

Oh, Geeze.......

Tell me you're not whistling the theme song right now........

And cooking me some grits....

The depiction of Southern/Western life in television is about as accurate as the depiction of small-town English pubs in An American Werewolf in London.

I got to say, though, that if you catch episodes of Longmire, it's not terribly far off from Wyoming Western/cowboy culture, with the exception of the absurdly high homicide rate.

Not unlike Cabot Cove, ME. But then thats why we watch.

And cooking me some grits....

I'm actually listening to I Sang Dixie....

Unfortunately, you've missed the grits by about 2 hours......and they were mmm, mmm, goooood!

Excellent!

 

[blunthead]

I'm so excited for you!!! I wish I could erase my memory and start all over .... I'm so pathetic I love this show so much....

Live long enough your memory erases itself.

Collards for sure, but with salt and butter and antihypertensives. Okra, yes as long as it's not slimy.

Well, you could cut down on the salt.

Collards are good for helping your blood pressure though, blunt? I didn't know that.

No, I didn't say that, dammit! And no, I can't cut down on the salt, not with certain things.

Well, what ARE they good for then?

My African Grey parrot would whistle that entire song. Loudly and having a good time with it. (not my fault, he came with it)

Spoiler

Off topic, but he could whistle beautiful until he got around someone trying to whistle to him. Then, he imitated bad whistle. Pathetic blowing sounds.

I was born and raised in Alabama. It's terrible. Every stereotype you've ever heard about the state is true.

Stay away.

I hear the beaches are beautiful though. Is that true, AchtungBaby?

 

[not_nadine]

I drove through Mobile from Texas to Florida and I have to say Alabama did look beautiful along the coast.

Collards are delicious. I like all cooked greens.

Collards are a good source of Vitamins A and C. Their real health benefit though is they are considered the best reducer of cholesterol of all the commonly consumed cruciferous vegetables.

I didn't know that. Cool.
