Are You a Yankee or a Rebel?

[Vahunter]

gorknoids if you liked that one here's one to remember. Just because you move to the south and have kids doen't mean they are southerners. For example just because the cat had kittens in the oven doesn't mean we call them biscuits. Thought you might enjoy that one.

I love that one. That's why I used it as the last line in my post yesterday.

You also said something about how small our rabbits and deer are. Maybe so but we do have some big squirrels around here.

Any region where you can fish AND play golf all winter is my kind of place.

Florida is better for that. You'll feel right at home there, Florida is full of yankees.

Its no wonder our deer are smaller with those squirrels running around eating up all the nuts.

100% peckerwood still, despite a lotta years overseas in hot places and a high class Midwest eddication.....

Hell, Florida is full of Canadians! You're right though. In 2007 I went to the Daytona 500, and the only person I ran into that I knew was a guy that grew up on the farm next to ours up on the Canadian border. Florida is fun for a couple of days, but it sold out to us carpetbaggers long ago, and I prefer Ol' Virginny rot nah.

100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!
Name fits I suppose

46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

I consider myself as southern as it's possible to be after spending virtually my entire life in transient, almost-southern Northern Virginia. My parents (and their assorted friends, relatives, and business partners) all moved to the same Virginia neighborhood in the early 50s looking for a piece of the housing boom. I'm not sure exactly how old I was before I heard a real southern accent. Everyone I knew still pahked the cah in hahvahd yahd lol. No one I knew growing up was actually born in the area, and during grade school "Are you a yankee or a rebel?" (i.e. "where are you from?") was a question often asked. Generally, the yankees outnumbered the rebels. Fastfoward 25 years: My son went to the same grade school I attended. As far as I was ever able to determine, no other kid in the school could say the same thing.

Northern Virginia may be *in* the south but, sadly, it's not *of* the south.

Yankee or Rebel, Redneckery knows no bounds. This happened not far from where I grew up.
