He has a W sticker and a Real Men Love Jesus sticker

[graywarrior]

on the back of his big, huge, pretentios RAM truck and he's at the counter of the 7-11 bitching about the cost of cigarettes. Keep puffing, asshole.

Why I hate Florida.

1. why isn't he in church?

probably on his way - or returning from. yeah right.

[msongs]

2. "real men love jesus" - sounds like he is in the closet nt

[ixion]

4. South Park did a parody like that

Cartman decided to form a xian rock band to make ten million dollars. He wrote a love song for Jesus that was about loving (as in loving long time). It was fargin hilarious. :rofl:

[ixion]

3. more than just FL

that's a distinctly 'Murikan archetype you described, and may be found in every state, from sea to sludgy sea. :-(

5. Did he have a John Deere baseball hat

and a belt with his name on the back? I think I've seen him around here also (CA).

6. I heard that

I've lived in F-L-A my entire life and although I have many warm, loving family-oriented memories it can indeed be a miserable place to live if you have a functioning brain. Case in point: I lived in South Florida the first 35 years of life so was comfortable with the multicultural community there, ie, hearing Spanish spoken seemed natural, not out of the mainstream. Moved to Central Florida and was amazed at the level of hostility aimed at these same "danged furriners". Observed a menacing exchange between a 'Murikan angry white male and a Spanish-speaking couple minding their own business in a public place. Angry white male approached them when he heard them speaking their native tongue (privately and in normal tone of voice), proceeded to furiously berate them for it, saying "in this country we speak ENGLISH, you better learn it and start using or etc etc". I was astonished they didn't call the cops on the guy, but of course being immigrants more then likely they would not want to stir up trouble amongst the restless natives. So... yeah, the attitude here is often as in this bumper sticker you'll see around town: "Welcome to Florida. Now leave."

12. My sister and her son were back home for the holidays

She spent her junior year of college in Spain, fell in love and married a grad student ( a Spanish national, now professor at U. of Valencia) and has lived there for the last twenty-five years. She teaches English there. Needless to say, she speaks perfect accentless Spanish, as well as Catalan, the local dialect. My nephew speaks colloquial American English with just a trace of a British accent, just like his father.

We all had gone shopping at the local mall, and had split up, agreeing to meet back at the main entrance before going to lunch. When my sister and nephew came back, they were both laughing like crazy. When we asked why, she said, "Alejandro and I were discussing a purchase for his grandfather, and naturally we were conversing in Catalan. There was a younger couple nearby that overheard our conversation, and all that I caught was some rude comment about illegal immigrants. I told Alejandro, watch this." (This was in N. Ohio)


She went up to the young couple, smiled and asked, in horribly accented English, "Pardon me, but might you be to helping me with somethings?" The couple looked at them askance and said, "What is it?" My sister answered, in perfect English, "I've been a citizen of the United States since before either of you were born. Just because I can speak five languages doesn't mean that I have to sneak back into my own country for Christmas. Have a nice holiday."


She loves to fool locals back home in Spain,too, many assume that she is native-born.


OBTW, sis says everyone over there thinks that Bush is insane. Europeans are waiting this lunatic out.

7. I would have pleasantly agreed with him and said...

that for guys like him, heck, there should be a quantity discount! :evilgrin:

[w8liftinglady]

8. I thought you were at my 7-11.

here in Texas.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. That's why I carry these in my purse

[MODemocrat]

10. Makes me wonder if this dude knows any Real Men

If he has a W sticker on his truck, he definitely doesn't understand what a REAL man is!

11. Indeed, he did have a sports cap on..Gators probably

And a belt with keys hanging off it and he smelled like tabakee and horse shit. So manly, I wanted to jump his bones right then and there.
