Think they'll take district?

Ya think that sweet little thing down at the Piggly Wiggly/Food Lion/ Big Star will be homecoming queen this year like her momma was?

I done heard some good stuff 'bout that boy come from out by the bypass























:sarcasm:

Apparently this "small world" isn't so small after all. Or maybe it is since people sitting in a TV study in New York City just know all about us. :eyes:

4. We "well-bred girls" weren't allowed to attend dog fights
without an escort.

7. May I remind you that it is extremely
unseamly unseemly to allude to the "foundations" of southern female culture?

9. So I guess mentioning an
"over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder" out of the question, ain't it?

12. One man's boulder is another man's
Rock of Ages, as we genteel, demuring, dogfight-attendin' women like to say.

14. Yea-up.
And are we speaking of the Christian hymn or the Def Leppard song? Both of which are popular down in these here parts.

18. I'm afraid I must excuse myself from all mixed discussion of
"down in these here parts," so as not to besmirch my virtue.

Oh. Wait. Virtue?

6. .
A study by Chicago police department of 332 people arrested on crimes linked to dog-fighting and other animal abuses between 2001 and 2004 found those involved were predominantly male (91%) and "a strikingly large percentage are members of criminal street gangs" (59%). The sport was imported from England and Ireland to New York and Boston in the early 1800s, but became a passion in southern states.

The indictment details vicious training techniques, contests from Alabama to New York city, $26,000 (£13,000) bets on the dogs and the execution, usually with a gun, of those judged to be not aggressive enough or who lost fights. The dogs had names such as Maniac, Big Boy and Trouble.

Yes, clearly a Southern form of cruelty and deviance.

13. We still have cockfights on Saturday nights in Louisiana and no law is going to change that
just like when the feds made us pass a 21 year drinking age. The cockfighting law will be enforced about as much as that one is. You wanted a law, there we passed a law, glad to have made you Americans happy about yourselves.
