Deep Southern Secrets

Anyone who lives in the deep south understands that we all have some secrets that we'd like to hide in a deep, dark closet and never bring out. These secrets are... our redneck hick trailor trash relatives (every family has a few). Yes, the ones that sit in their front yards, shirts off, big, hairy bellies sticking out, drinking beer and running a hand through their mullets while they have "Sweet Home Alabama" blaring from their pick up trucks and a rebel flag blowing in the breeze. You may walk by them while they're chugging Budweiser but once they spot you, they'll give you a big toothless grin and bellow, "Get R Done!!!" Then they'll spit out some of their chewin tobacco and resume playing the air guitar. If you're extra nice they might even take you in and show you their belt buckle collection.

Mmm . . . and I was thinking you were about to launch into the Linny version of taxi cab confessions. Let me know when you get Lilith onboard with the ice cream thing. I travel lite and can move out quicker than the 101st Airborne.

In the spirit of your post, "Get R Done!!!"

People forget that Maryland can be a rather red state in areas. You need to watch out or the smibs. Southern Maryland Inbreds.

he he he he, belt buckle collection. That is such a Southern American thing... why is the belt buckle so important? Is it just a way of getting people to look at your crotch?

I'll trade you my bunch of malcontent white trash that is my extended family for your family? No word of a lie... I have a transvestite 53-year old amongst mine... it's an offer too good to refuse... he can talk to your aunts about gingham dresses!

What does GET R DONE mean?

I don't remember hearing that when I lived in Atl.

I remember ppl would ask us if we were mexican and then when we told them we were pakistani, they would ask if we drove from there.

i also remember that on the school bus, there was a full fledged discussion as to whether i was white or black... (coz there are no races besides those... hahaha)

i miss atlanta sometimes - when we first moved there, my brother and i would go to the tacobell in the food court of lennox square and order 20 soft tacos each.

:S

My ex-neighbors Banjo Boy and the Butt-Faced bitch could also show off their collection of Red Velvet Elvis Wall Hangings and Porcelin Elvis's or is the plural Elvi. If you don't have the relatives it is nice to be blessed with neighbors

I went to high school with some people like that. Mind you, we're all Minnesotans. That's the deep North.

Princess-be glad Canada has none. There is no shortage of them here...I see them everyday.

FU-"Get R Done" is some stupid catch phrase from the show "Blue Collar Comedy" with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy. It's become an annoying popular saying around here. I think the "Get" is supposed to be spelled "Git" but whatever.

Linny...i'd LIKE to see one, I imagine it would be like if you guys came to canada and saw the mountees here, all dressed in red. I would get out of my car and take pictures with them...posing and treating them like tourist attractions.....

At Pirates games in Pittsburgh, they'll occaisionally do a "spot the mullet" thing between innings. The camera guys look for mullets in the crowd and show them on the big screen.

Although I don't care much for the phrase "trailer trash"...A girl's got to live in something, you know! ;)...I do, however, strongly agree with the rest.

(Sigh)

Let's just say that my father owns a very extensive collection of Elvis AND Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, which he PROUDLY displays!

Yikes!! :)

I have a grandfather who told me I should go to the family reunion, I might "meet some nice fellas" and my father, who I love dearly, had a FIT about not being able to wear his cowboy boots to my brother's wedding. His father did it and by-dog-it they were good enough for him.

... plus all the inbreeding that goes on down there... ewww...

Having lived both in Georgia and Pennsylvania, I can truly say that the south is a completely different world than the north!
