Talking

I laugh at the people that still think we're just ole hillbillys down here. They think we still don't have any technology and that we ride buggies everywhere. I feel sorry for the people that haven't ever had a hush puppie or sweet tea or fried okra or fried squash and SOOOO many other things. You yankees just don't know what you're missin.

Yea and to think that NASA is here also. They've unleashed rednecks in NASA. Along with a very large Redstone Arsenal. Huntsville is a technological city. The town I am from (Frisco City) I have to admit is bare. There's barely anything there. But theres nowhere on earth I'd rather live. I was raised in the country and want to stay in the country.

Yeah, Huntsville rocks it has alittle bit of everything. I grew up in Hazel Green which made Huntsville the place to be growing up. The Green is just so bare and empty as well and our high school looks like a jail.

Wasn't ever dry where I was. Matter of fact I heard the FLorabama bar got devistated. Anyone know of that? I believe it's the only bar in the USA , whereas you can get a Dui in two states at the same time. Of course that is another story. I 've been through out the Good Old USA. The version I always heard was that the toothbrush was invented in Georgia or Florida. Funny how that story gets around. I guess it depends on where you are hearing it at. I might add I was in Florida when I heard the Florida version. The toothless are everywhere I am afraid. Which state is it that the state flower is the satillite dish mounted outside the trailer house? Anyone? I may add the worst thing about the SOUTH is damn fire ants.

The state flower in Alabama is Kudzu.

The state bird is the one finger salute.

A true Alabamian's neck is as red as the central Alabama clay.

The number one root crop is the rock. You can't dig without hitting one.

The number one yard ornament is two Dodges on blocks.

It is aganist the law to say a sentence without y'all in it at least once.

"Here" is pronounced as a three syllable word.

Most true Alabamian's family trees don't produce a lot of shade, if you know what I mean.

Anyone that lives in Atlanta or above is a "yankee".

A lake created by a dam is not a lake, it is "the backwarter" (spelled as pronounced)

It is aganist the law for a family not to have a fued of some kind going on at all times.

Most older Alabamians think that George Wallace WAS the President.


NOTICE*** This post is all in fun. All of my family, and I mean ALL, is from either east central Alabama, or just across the line in Georgia. I was conceived in Ala., just happened to be born in N.C. I ended up staying here with the only relatives not living there. I love Alabama, and consider myself to have dual citizenship between Ala. and N.C.

These are just observations from my brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins, who live there, whom I love, and visit with when I can. If you think I was pointing a finger, remember I have four more pointed back at me.

If you can't make fun of yourself, and your relatives, who can you make fun of.

You mean to tell me that people in Alabama are able to get internet access?


Actually Alabama is a gorgous state. I would love to move there & just may do that if my current conditions warrant it.

I would love to be near Muscle Shoals, Fort Payne, or Tuscaloosa.

my sister-in-law lives in Muscle Shoals. I was just there the week after Ivan for a week. It is very nice, but there are not a lot of good paying jobs, from what I hear. I could be wrong though. I really like it down there and saw more 73-79 ford trucks in 1 week than I saw my entire life up here in Pittsburgh.
