	When can I call myself a Southerner? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Well, I've been down here ten months, but I was born in the South, and I did live here a few years back in the late 60s and 70s. Unfortunately, most of the people around here are from the North, so I'm not picking up much of a Southern accent.

When do I get to be a Southerner!?!

"When do I get to be a Southerner!?!"

When you repent of your evil ways. Then we might think of letting you be one of us.

Ugh -- I'm ashamed of you Chegitz.

Why would any sensible person like you aspire to become a Southerner??

When you start wearing a cowboy hat, or speak with a southern drawl.

A bull-horn hood orniment might also suffice.

I say "y'all" all the time. (Even twenty five years in the North couldn't kill that.). . . As for the cowboy hat, I ain't buyin' one 'till I can afford a genuine Stetson.

It really depends on how nice you are when you pass someone by in something like a hallway.

If you'll only see them for a couple seconds, you nod your head.

If you have a bit more time you say something like "Hey."

If there is a lot of time you say "How's it going?" - "Fine, how about you?" - "Fine." Or something to that affect.

I've never liked grits, least not the way Mom made them (she's a Kentuckian), butter and salt. Whole hominey, though, I love.


I was thinkin' 'bout gator boots, Slow, livin' in Florida and all.

Imran, they might have weird ideas, I don't know about outdated though. Maybe its just because Houston is ahead of the times.

I really shouldn't talk though, I haven't had a normal conversation with a woman in months.

Well, you know she's in law school right?

Well one day (early in the year) she talked to some down-home Southern womyn. They were telling her to show 'graciousness'. During interviews she should show some leg and look sexy. They told her they were basically in law school to get a man.

One lady in Career Services kinda suscribed to that view. She told womyn to take off their wedding rings when they went to interviews. Saying "If they wanted to make a statement, they could go to California". Basically make the interviewer think you are single and available.

Disgusting.

You'd think Atlanta would be more progressive thinking, but then you do have the rest of Georgia pulling it down.

Imran, when you get to Atlanta, we should try and scedual a SouthEast Poly meeting. There's enough of us in the surrounding states to make Atlanta a good meeting place. I wonder if we could get ahold of n.c. and get him to make an appearance?

Che are you living in Atlanta? You should have a southern drawl then after about 10 minutes there!

If you were born in the South and now live there then you have the right to call yourself one. And if you are going to get the boots and the hat you have to learn how to country and western dance!

Nah, I live in Jacksonville, FL, just on the other side of the boder from Georgia (30 miles). This is the Dixie end of Floida, not the Caribbean end (though I applied for a gig with AmEx in Ft. Lauderdale, so we'll see--here's hoping they'd like to take a former employee of a competitor, Citicorp).

Well, the womyn were from around the South. I don't think they were Atlantans, universities pull people from all over.
