I have been as far south as Bakersfield and that was 50 miles too far for this Good Ole Boy...
Haaa! Love it!
It's not insecurity at all. We just don't give a flip how they did it up North and really get tired of hearing about it.
Funny thing is, I am related to Lester Flatt (just about all the Flatts in TN and TX and IL are related to each other, and my gggrandpa was a Flatt), and my husband has Scruggs relatives.
No wonder we like Bluegrass!
But I like it done Scottish, and he likes it done Tennessee!
And most folks don't even know they can take their keys OUT of the ignition.

Ain't that the truth.
Shoot, that was the LAW until recently. Still is in most folks' minds.
Glock, Pete?
Toupsie, tell your story of how you used to leave your guns on the roof of the car while you went to school, and (A) nobody took them, and (B) nobody cared that you had them. Uhhh, I guess I already told it.
Did all y'all save your bacon greese in a crisco can under the sink?
You know, I havent even thought about that till you brought it up. Then I started going through all my kin that I could remember without going through the ancestor papers, I got to say this to the yankee's that the ancestor files start just before the big moves on down to the carolinas in around the 1735's or so., everyone else we have at the tip of our mind, right, Maria??? (this drives yankees crazy cause most of them don't have kin they want to remember.) I have been told by them that we do this cause we don't have anything else to do. I've told them it's because we like to remember the things our kin gave to anyone of our Southern Countries. I can't help it, (I'm glad to say) I'm a liffe member of the SCV and a regular MOS&B. It's nice talking with you Sis. KennyBob. God Bless Texas, and our Southern Nation

LOL!
I used to save mine in any old tin can, but my grandmother still saves her bacon grease in a Crisco can.
Num 3 is true. When I moved back here after 25 years away, I was driving to work and had a flat. I swear not more than 3 minutes after I got off the road, a pickup with three men appeared, they jumped out and walked toward me. I backed up with hands up and told them my purse was in the car, just take the money and don't hurt me. They laughed and laughed while they changed my tire and refused my paying them. Every once in a while one would look mean over at me, I would flinch, and he would laugh some more. Women never change tires here.

The *real* South has neither Giant nor Safeway. We have Piggly Wiggly and Winn Dixie.
