I just realized that my initial post on this thread reads like I think there is nothing great about the South. Oops. No wonder some people got pissed off.

Shrimp and grits at Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill, NC.

Don't steal a television in North Carolina otherwise they'll throw you in prison for 33 years.

Before I clicked on the link I knew he was black.

If I was going to do a road trip through the South, and I wanted to take my time and avoid cities and see interesting sights and nature and eat nice food, what route would I take?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I once drove through the Carolinas and Georgia. That was nice.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I live in in South Carolina! That more than justifies the south's existance in my book!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:25 (nineteen years ago) link

why would you want to avoid cities?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Because they're full of sin.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know, maybe I don't. Tell me some good ones.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

And don't say Charlotte because then I'll know you're lying.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:27 (nineteen years ago) link

have you ever driven on the Blue Ridge Parkway?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Like when gygax tried to trick me into going to a gay club in LA.

xpost - I tried to, but it was closed!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Check this out.

What's wrong with gay clubs?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Other places I have been - Savannah, Memphis, New Orleans, Charleston, somewhere in Virginia.

xpost nothing, but I was asking where I could go to watch football.

do you not know about KURT WARNER's PICTURE on GAYSPORTSFANCENTRAL.COM?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes I do. Actually I meant "soccer". Are there "soccer" players on GAYSPORTSFANCENTRAL.COM?

And are the two of us just going to derail every single thread we post today, h? That's my wish.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Your search - gay sports fan central soccer - did not match any documents.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Now that is surprising.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:39 (nineteen years ago) link

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha that pink ball is great.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:47 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't be bothered reading through all of this (though I did get far enough to say Dee, we have Weinerschnitzels in CA), but I must mention (even if it's been mentioned already) Dixie Beer.

not surprising AT ALL

Isn't that electoral map a bit outdated now?

You can say what you like about Southerners, but at least they are not uptight.

Except for, like, the Bible Belt, I guess.

not everyone in the bible belt is a bible thumper! dirty dirty represent.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 26 January 2007 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, as I'm well aware, but the numerous bible thumpers there certainly don't class as being freewheelin'.

― Allyzay doesnt get into the monkeys or vindications (allyzay), Friday, 26 January 2007 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm in the "buckle of the bible belt" and we're really liberal, but I reckon that comes from just living in a fairly large city. Go out to the sticks, and you'll find some Dixie Chicks-hatin' folks at every turn.

"You can say what you like about Southerners, but at least they are not uptight."

What the fucking hell are you talking about?

The South is warmer than where I am writing from.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

i have never had want for a ride home or a place to crash in the south.

Springs smells (and is) delightful in the South. Nashville smells like fresh laundry.

it's really easy to take naps here

awesome awesome food

Meat and 3s.
Fried okra.
Turnip greens.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm talking about manner and mien rather than world view. Any Southerners I've met all seem pretty laid back, unlike most Northerners.

As an aside, I do love how saying you like Southerners is such a red lines crosser for Northerners.

― Remember Fredericksburg! (dirtyvicar), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

broad generalities are accurate both ways vicar.

So, so true.

"As an aside, I do love how saying you like Southerners is such a red lines crosser for Northerners."

Not a line crossing thing for most people I know, more just a matter of thinking that anyone who would make a generality about an entire region's people (aka "they're all likeable", "they're all laid-back", etc) doesn't really know much about that place or those people.

Headed to Dollywood tomorrow!

Ooh! I've never made it there, but I hear it's fun.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 31 July 2014 05:39 (nine years ago) link

It's weirder than one would think, and probably far more gay than most of its punters realize.

Bitchin roller coasters, too
