Anthony,

...right now at the gf's with no access to e-mail.... I'll probably check it sometime tomorrow, buddy. As for your driving question, I'd say it's about 12 hours give or take one from Nashville to Lake Fork, Texas....


FDC,

...couldn't have said it better myself. I was on Fork in Feb of last year...beautiful lake and nice folks. Watch out for those submerged stumps though...they'll do some nasty things to a boat prop. LOL

Or what they can do to a hull. I was stationed at England AFB in Alexandria LA and bought a $200 fiberglass boat with a 20 hp motor. Top speed was snail-pace but it got me out on the water and always had a good time. Went out one morning and there were small whitecaps so I figured I would go around an island in the lake and fish for awhile. So here I am trolling from stump to stump and all of a sudden I feel the boat go up on a submerged stump. I couldnt rock the boat off it and the trolling motor couldnt free it so I thought I would start up the regular motor and get myself off it. As soon as I stepped in the middle of the boat the stump (about the size of a fist) came straight thru the hull. Now I was really screwed. Luckily there was 1 other boat on the lake and they came over and lifted the boat enough to get it off the stump. Long story short....I made it to the island..bailed out the water...and put a soda bottle in the hole so I could make it back to the landing. I was so pissed that if anyone was at the landing I would have given them the boat, motor , and trailer for free. I fixed the hull and used it for 2 more years.

I tell you what...............This goes without saying! Anyone who judges somebody on where they are from, tries to assume that persons intellect or education level, or puts down someone for their hobbies or geographical sports that they enjoy is neither a Yankee or a southerner! They are just an asshole! Plain and Simple!


Now if you like to joke that is one thing but putting yourself ahead of someone else or trying to pump yourself up at the expense of others makes you look like the biggest idiot in the World!



Long live..............
NASCAR
Southern Football
Beer Drinking and Fishing
And a Simple Life!


For all the Folks that live above that Notorious Mason dixon line...........Just because we love and live a simple life does not make us simple!

Bass fishing is one of the fastest growing spectator sports in the country

FDC, come on now...lol....you know that I was the biggest supporter of that fishing forum we had here for a while and I truly enjoyed contributing often in it, but it seems a little hard to believe that fishing watching is zooming up the list of most popular spectator sports. Then again, I could be wrong.

1. Only a true Southerner knows what "catywompus" means.

Now, this is funny. I heard a guy use that term a couple years ago and I thought he made it up or that it was a "family term" or something.

He used it, IIRC, to describe an irregularly shaped stone, but he said it derisively and meant it as kind of a piece of lumpy garbage.

I think this is the only time I've heard it outside of that.

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

nothing to do with being a southerner....

just thought it was funny:
:topic:

"That car is as quick as a toad on a hot rock!"

"That's about as slick as snot on a door knob!"

OR

"slicker than owl sh*t"

"Your clothes are all Catywompus!"


"The tire on your car is all Whoppyjawed!"


"Be careful or I'll be throw'n pebbles at yer ass!"


" That's about as bad as kissing your sister through a screen door!"


"Your 2 sheets and a comforter from being out the window"

"You don't know if your sh*ttin' or goin' blind"

"That's about as useless as a popcorn fart"

"It's colder than a witches tittie in a brass brazier"

"That's about as useless as tits on a boar"

 

[Bluemound Freak]

Toronto........hear are some more of those! These are my personal favorites!


Busier than a three legged cat burrying turds on an iceberg!

Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs!

Madder than a Wet Rooster!

Happy as a queer with a mouthful of butt hair!

Just a few little pieces of my slack jawwed yocal vocabulary!

Madder than a wet hornet!

Here's one that will probably only be understood by the Southerners on this board....


...that dawg won't hunt!

 

[MadJack]

her teeth were so bad she could eat corn-on-the-cob thru a picket fence.

i popped a blue steel hard-on a bobcat couldnt scratch.

WTF is *that*?

 

[Grama]

Fine as frog hair.

Handy as sleeves on a vest.

He's in tall cotton.

Only thing I have to add is that many of the southern references are more of white trash references. A true southerner:

Never cusses around his mama.
Opens the door for a lady.
Respects his elders.
Always says please, thank you, and yes sir/no sir and yes ma'am /no ma'am.
Calls country cooling a night out.

And actually, some of us don't even fish. Yes we have been fishing, and will go again, but I don't watch it on tv and don't do it but about once a year. And only with cold beer.

grama - born and raised in south GA, and yes, the south will rise again!

I didn't know you played hockey. Must of been prior to the players mandatory head gear requirement.

I now have a better feel for your posts and the rationale that goes into them.
