Thanks, browneyes! My favorite saying is now: "I know it's the middle of July and we're in Georgia, but can we PLEASE turn on the dang heat?!" I annoy everyone around me. And by the way--the bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'!
I'm in Martinez right now, browneyes, about 10 minutes from The Masters golf course in Augusta. I'm originally from Allentown, PA (close to Philly), but since I use the word "dang" a lot, I think I'm now an official Southerner! By the way, I've always been jealous of your username--one of my favorite songs ever is Van Morrison's Brown-Eyed Girl, but since I have hazel eyes I could never pretend he was singing it just to me.
Have you started saying y'all yet, Kim? I love that song too. My eyes are brown, but as much as I'd like to think Van was singing about me, I have my doubts.
Bella, I tried your theory in breathing deeply, and my lungs told me no thanks. I might need to start wearing hats and scarfs and gloves and heavy jackets.
Browneyes, I've said y'all a few times, but the real Southerners tell me it just doesn't sound right coming out of my mouth! Dh and I still say "you guys" all the time. Maybe if I type it: Hey browneyes, how y'all doin'? Hmmmmm...I don't know...what's that saying? You can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl! Well, Sugar, I'm FIXIN' to go cook up some GRITS and PEC--AHHN pie. It's been good CUTTIN' UP with you--bless your heart...
I'm 2 1/2 hours north of Hot 'Lanta, Ethel. I think it was about 40 here. But the windchill was pretty bad.
Nope, tonight, I wrote a play and Ricky sung love songs to you (you were the lead, and you wouldn't let me sing, you had the ladies league chime in every time).
Kim, that's a good impression. You're y'all still sounds like you're saying you all though. Think of yea haw when you're trying to say y'all.
