slow down now 99% of the voices you hear in the southern reality shows are most assuredly put on heavily for the camera. Just as Larry the Cable Guy is a character, the people on the reality shows are also playing a character. I can't believe I have to explain this.
Please provide your source for the 99% wild guess. Me thinks that was pulled from your neither regions. (that "me thinks" was a little Billy Shakespeare type lingo for you) Me thinks some are not operating in the spirit of jest and humor that this thread was created in and have taken this internet thing to seriously again.
I'm the source, as I live where most of these reality shows are filmed. I take everything seriously. Life is serious, and the internet is life.
Therin lies the humor, getting some so worked up over this that they hope to argue. Its like leading a horse to water, making him drink and then telling it you peed in the watering hole.
I don't think anyone is taking any of this very seriously... At least I sure hope not... and quit pointing that thing at me! you're going to have to let go sooner or later. LOL
Two Yankee's came down to Louisiana to go bear hunting. They came upon a fork in the road and a sign that read "BEAR LEFT"; so they went home.
Here is some southern, LIVE ACTION! You have to love the kids at :35-- <font size="7"><font size="3">
After having their 11th child, a West Virginia couple decided that was enough (they could not afford a larger double wide). So, the husband went to his doctor (who also treated mules) and told him that he and his wife/cousin didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem. The doctor instructed him to go home, get a cherry bomb (fireworks are legal in West Virginie), light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10. The Hillbilly said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me" So, the couple drove to Arkansas to get a second opinion. The Arkansas physician was just about to tell them about the procedure for a vasectomy when he noticed that they were from West Virginia. This doctor instead told the man to go home and get a cherry bomb, light it, place it in a beer can, hold it to his ear and count to 10. Figuring that both learned physicians couldn't be wrong, the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand.
I’m starting to regret by decision to stop watching TV since its clear I am missing these documentaries depicting typical life in the South. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie1jOiv-dZg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVUC3bCK5wM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft3JKjGRtxw
This guy walks into a bar down in Alabama and orders a Grape Nehi. Surprised, the bartender looks around and says "You ain't from around here... where you from, boy?". The guy says, "I'm from Pennsylvania." The bartender asks, "What do you do up in Pennsylvania?" The guy responds, "I'm a taxidermist." The bartender asks, "A taxidermist?... what the hell is a taxidermist?" The guy says "I mount animals." The bartender smiles and shouts to the whole bar, "It's OK boys, he's one of us!"
Saw it coming... A reporter in Pennsylvania heard about a farmer who had a talking horse. He went to check it out and when he arrived, he learned that all the animals on the farm can talk. That's amazing said the reporter, can I speak with them? Sure said the farmer, just please don't believe the sheep, she is a liar!
We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper where most accidents happened within twenty miles of home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address as the last Alabama family that lived here took the numbers with them for their next house so they wouldn't have to change their address.
Just for Calib, In a small southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" . . . . . .that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You darn Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled thru some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'"
In a recent study by Forbes, these are the two people that Northerners believed represented their identity best.
