Lighten up, Missy.
This is one of very few things I can't help. It makes me angry. Prolly will never change.
personall I'd say callin' a dixie girl a yankee is a shootin' offense. If you were tried in SkullBone,TN I'd say there's a 98% chance they'd give you a medal for shootin' some liein' prick that cast such aspersions.
Hehehehe
In my defense, I do not believe I ever called her a Yankee. I DID call her a "chica", which I thought was Spanish for "chick". And that's only cuz she talked foreign so much.
I know LeeLee uses that name-that-shall-not-be-named too. Go ahead, tell us DJ. It was LL, weren't it?
That's what friends are for. To poke at your tender spots til you wanna kill them. Then they make you laugh.
It's a vicious cycle.
I don't mind chica. I mind anything not Southern, especially if it implies I'm like a Yankee.
Yankees ain't all bad. John Wilkes Booth comes to mind.
Not the Yankee thing again...
John Wilkes Booth was from the Baltimore area. That's a whole different animal down there.
Hey, I'm only going with Nate's seeming definition of Yankee which seems to equal anyone not Southron.
So if Illinois qualifies, how does Maryland not? And being the Lincoln Despiser I be, I had to post that JWB bit as soon as I thunked it up.
I didn't say anything about qualifications of Yankees. I didn't say anything about calling me a Yankee.
I said something about calling me un-Southern.
So this really IS about your link on my blog?
Wiemerrhymer-thin skin indeed, Dark.
Fine. I'll ponder a better title.
not just that, but it is what reminded me of this. I had someone else whom I thought was a friend call me a damnyankee yesterday to my face because of my stint in Atlanta. That happened like 10 minutes after I put this up. He had not read this yet either.
But you have to realize how little you SOUND Southron! If you recall, it amused me to hear your accent pop out simply cuz it so happened so rarely.
May I suggest a remedial accent class?
A Hoosier is kvetching about accents? Now I've seen everything.
Ah, but I'm no more a Hoosier than the Yankee transplants in Atlanta are Southron.
Most Hoosiers don't have accents anyway. Sadly, they're dying out here too.
And I really like accents of all types. I certainly wasn't poking fun at folks that have them. I think the variety adds richness to life. I miss talking to Texans and Georgians on the phone at work. The best was an Aussie chick that worked in Louisville. Her voice and accent were awesome.
And I figure sweet nothings whispered by an authentic-sounding Southron Belle are probably orgasm-inducing all by themselves.
I was NOT a damnYankee transplant in Atlanta! I am Tennessean! I'm a Southron. I was born in Tennessee. I've lived 22 years in Tennessee. I'm living in Tennessee right now. It ain't my fault if my family moved to Atlanta, and I learned to enunciate my words. I still speak with both redneck and SouthernBelle accents when I choose, and occasionally when I don't choose.
I see we're going to have to start playing a little Hang-a-hoosier...
Oy! Leave me outta the lynchings.
If Nathan is listening out there in cyberland, I'd like to get his thoughts about Abraham Lincoln deciding to arrest members of the Maryland Legislature in order to not envelope the capital with confederate sympathizers. Sorry if this is OT Joy.
Nate seems to have checked out for the night. I keep trying to get him to chat with me, but he's not there. 'Course he has a good excuse with 5 kids 6 and under in his care most the day!
So, it'll be 'til morning when he sees this.
"I was NOT a damnYankee transplant in Atlanta!"
And my moving to Indiana doesn't make me a Hoosier. That was my point. I was clarifying, not throwing out another barb at you.
Come on, girl! You KNOW I know you're a Southroner by birth! Which is why I liked my name for your blog so much. Because I know it isn't true... but it kinda is anyway.
"but it kinda is anyway" part of your thinking is what bothers me.
You're putting way more thought into my thoughts than I ever do.
Great... now I gotta think of something else. I can't be intentionally causing lovely ladies distress, can I?

Just to be clear here, Georgia is NOT part of the south? Or are you saying Atlanta is not on account of all the Northrons what live there?
I see Mike's been taking Lea Johnson's advice. 
(Jump to 6:55 for the joke, then go back and watch the whole thing)
classic Carson
Great video, Luke. Hey, great advice is timeless advice. Makeup sex is great and they DO have to get mad first so there you go.
Addressing Mikesbo: Please read what I said:
"Ah, but I'm no more a Hoosier than the Yankee transplants in Atlanta are Southron."
When I said that, I was referring to me and how my moving somewhere doesn't make me a native.
Obviously, GA is part of the South and folks that are there (even Atlanta) are Southron.
And OBVIOUSLY, DJ hailing from TN makes her a Southroner even if she moves to Japan.
So with this post and my blog title change I am letting MYSELF off the hook. And if anyone don't like it, they can smooch mah no-count Yankee buttocks.
CRAP.
"folks that are there (even Atlanta) are Southron."
SB: "folks that are FROM there (even Atlanta) are Southron."
Off to mow the lawn now.
MM, actually, I wasn't talking to you.
DJ said she was southern despite having moved to Georgia:
"It ain't my fault if my family moved to Atlanta..."
"called me a damn yankee...because of my stint in Atlanta."
Not really trying to tick her off or anything. I'm curious whether Tennesseans consider Georgia, or Atlanta anyway, part of the south.
Most Texans would not consider Austin part of Texas, BTW, and I would agree with them.
Mah fault, Hoss.
Georgia is in the South. Atlanta is infested with Yankee transplants.
Wait wait wait!
Nate has 5 kids under 6? But only two of those are his... And 5 happens to be the limit for a day care provider... NATE DOES CHILDCARE?!?!
It's probably a pretty good place for the kids (with all the weapons training and southern history and all) but still. Daycare?
He had his 3 sons, and our two nieces. Just for one night and day.
Transplants or has the place gone "weird" itself, as in the local saying, "Keep Austin Weird", people here seem to be oddly proud of. I'm sure the hippy culture came from the People's Republic to the west originally, but it is plenty home-grown now.
all I know is that Atlanta ruins the voting curve for Georgia.
He had his 3 sons, and our two nieces. That explains it.

Cities always do. Seems that city dwellers have no problem messing/tinkering with others lives.
People...
GA is Southern.
ATL is Yankee. There are only the barest hints of southron culture there. Its New York South.
There is more to being Southern than Latitude and Longitude.
If it talks like damned yankee... and acts like a damned yankee... its a damned yankee.
Is brazen-faced-ness considered a virtue down South?
There is more to being Southern than Latitude and Longitude.
I am going to petition to have my state named North Tennessee.
Be easier to move, dude.
BTW and just so's ya know, my comment on 6/22 was about me. I was thinking about begging a favor after ticking you off but thought better of it.
Ok...MM you used my name in vain! Therefore you go down a bit in my list.
1st...I would never call any of my friends a "female dog". Unless it was a rousing game of cards and they set my ass. And then it would be in complete jest.
2nd...there is nothing wrong with Joy's accent. Personally I have found that as I advance in my professional life that I have to enunciate my words more than I used to. Therefore "losing" my accent. I do grab it now and then after a long stint with family. But there's nothing wrong with being Southron and not having the accent to go with.
LeeLee: I meant it was likely you were the one calling Titan something that rhymes with "Mighty Bitey". I'm pretty sure that's what DJ was complaining about in the first place.
