Thanks everybody!

I laughed at the Hillbilly remark. For years the school where I worked had a multicultural festival each year around Christmas break. I used to complain (LOUDLY and OFTEN, but with a grin) that they never included MY culture in the festival ... Hillbilly! I wanted to play some bluegrass, eat ham 'n' beans and have a watermelon seed spitting contest - but it was always a no go.

Welcome!

FF, you raise a good point. When was the last time anyone celebrated the "cultures" of our own great land. That would mean super-health-nut dishes from Californians, Creole dishes from New Orleans, pizza from Chicago, etc. Hmm... makes for good ideas for a potluck barbecue.

Our staff at the school had native born Germans, Lithuanians, Laotians, Liberians and several other nations represented.

Just cause I 's a hillbilly and my folks 's been hereabouts fer pertineer ferever I guess I's just don't count none.

Oh, good Lord, I couldn't understand a lick of what you wrote. Where's my Hick-English dictionary?

I was bilingually trained by the best.

My dad sounds like Boomhower (sp?) on "King of the Hill"!

Sump times when he's adrivin' he will retch over and roll down his winder light - so he can take himself a spit!

I understood every word.

I think we prefer the term "Appalachian American".......



I understood every word also, which is mildly disturbing.......

Problem is ... he's NOT from Appalachia!

Tell us more about yourself Up-the-Creek.
