Southern folk crack me up. Aside from the comments about the snow almost everything you've said could be applied to any rural area.

What's with the John Deere line? Deere is an Illinois company.

Southern Illinois is pretty southern. Except John Deere is northern or central Illinois.

Is there a tractor company in the South?

Do remember not to take things too seriously, folks. This is just for fun - no analysis required, for once.

Who's analyzing. Guess I should have put a ton of smilies with my post.

Can you say RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

 

[Davaroo]

RC and a moon pie - now were talking

I used to eat those when I was s kid in California. A Southern transplant, maybe?

Okay, I've lived in 13 states, and I have never heard of a moon pie.

I googled it. I now know what a moon pie is.

We're close to Pittsburgh, PA so we've got our own set of rules and way of speaking, LOL.

You guys say y'all we say yinz.

Dunno, I thought I was introduced in Western Kentucky. Maybe a faulty memory from over 30 years ago.


Moon pies came from Chattanooga Bakery.
