I had a dream last night. In that dream I was walking across a field of soybeans, and the soybeanswere wet with a heavy dew yet I wasn't getting wet.The field was endless, as far as the eye could see,and in front of me was a crop circle. As I walked into the circle I could smell the smell of grits, and butter, and a faint hint of brown sugar. I would have marveled at this, but in the sky, to the west, were 6 bright lights. Two were red, one was black, two were blue, one was a pure white. The two red and the twoblue were circling the black and the white one. As I watched, they increase their speeds faster and faster until the red and blue became one color, with the black and white lights in the middle, side by side.

To me, people in the Lower Peninsula of MI, and most of Ohio have accents like what you hear on most television broadcasts. I would say box, not bax. In southern Ohio, you might hear bawx.
Right on, eto. Those near Cleveland, or really anywhere near the north coast have a distinct accent as do those from our southernish areas. Those from western Pennsylvania have yet another. Pretty interesting really...and I make fun of all of them.[8D]

Empirical proof that we are the benchmark of how God intended man to speak. All else is but a bastardization, a crude gutteral grunting that can only barely suffice to exchange thoughts.
Oh yeah, for you folks who got your panties in a wad over my use of the term "yankees" --- Tough %%%%.
And yes, I didn't capitalize "yankees" on purpose.
you wound me sir.
i'm a native pennsylvanian, but i lived in the south for about six years. Reidsville, NC, for 2 of those 6. man, i caught a lot of crap for being a yank, i can tell you. didn't prevent me from developing an abiding love of grits, sausage gravy 'n biscuits and chicken fried steak, though.
they kept calling me a transplant yank. i kept correcting them by saying i was just with the "army of occupation".
one guy i worked with got all lathered up one day, and asked me if i could name one thing pennsylvania had that the south didn't.
What in the hell were you doing in Reidsville? Why didn't you come up to Murphy NC and see where God vacations?[&:]
I was working in achicken processing plant. actually loved NC, particularly the western mountains. just couldn't abide the climate. i'm a Celt--need snow.
RE: According to some Yankees, I'm retarded.
