Tep, I don't think I stopped at the Rayne truck stop, but I did go to the casino and walk through the frog restaurant. I had to do my phone job interview in the parking lot there. It was also a really beautiful day.

Weeki Wachee FAP. I'd be in.

It's so gorgeous out there -- I stopped by accident just cause we needed gas once, and made a point of going back as often as possible. I used to hope to get a house out there someday, but now that I'm living with an academic I'm not sure that's possible.

if you're curious about manatees, and other aquatic mammals, the Library of Congress recommends the following:

Sam & Max, by Steve Purcell. In one of their adventures, Sam & Max hit the road, lookign the many missing manatees.

King of acronyms, right there.

I wish I had more time to travel, I would defintely spend much of it seeing more of the south.

i must go to pensacola

Gareth, there's not much of note there, EXCEPT Joe Patti's, which is like the best fresh seafood market in the world. Bring your cooler, take a number, then order all the best, just-caught, fresh-as-all-get-out fish and seafood you can handle. When they ring you up, they'll pack the seafood in ice in your cooler. My dad drives 40 minutes one-way each week to shop there.

Mmm, okra.

I've decided to only date Southern folk from now on. Sorry yankees.

I'm in my 7th period class right now and I have one whole student. Sorry that's OT but it's just remarkable. Hence the posting.

The South will always rock if only for being the birthplace of "y'all" and "ain't".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:13 (twenty years ago) link

hey Sam, what about transplanted Southerners?

― hstencil, Monday, 18 August 2003 19:15 (twenty years ago) link

've decided to only date Southern folk from now on. Sorry yankees.

I had to extend this to "people who've lived in the South" (I'm not sure native New Orleanians would be dateable for me), but ditto.

Me too! Let's have a club.

Ewww, okra. My childhood best friend was from the South and everytime I'd eat over his mom would make that shit and, not wanting to offend, I forced it down. Ew.

I don't even know if I'm supposed to be Southern or not.

Maybe they are from Southern California, you racist.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link
