In the North they all begin with "Once upon a time..." In the South they
begin with "Y'all ain't gonna believe this sh*t..."
I have been up north I have been treated with much disrespect....it appears to
me many northerners are rude....we have good ol' southern hospitality =)

Hey Janis and Dandude:
I think she means that y'all are much friendlier in the south than those stuck
up Boston types who went to Haavard.

ever proper stiff upper lipped bra-mahs would allow such a highly

We may have to reconsider our fivesome trip to Mexico. After all,
education is important and maybe we should consider Viki's first born's
future...If Linda has settled down a bit, loosen those restraints, take the
boot gag out of her mount, ask her about sharing her toys for the weekend
w/Viki. THEN Linda's first born's edu. is secure, and we can get on w/our
trip plans? I think this is really fair; my first born is a Jr. in college;
otherwise, it would be a twosome trip to Mexico and I'd send you'll
postcards!!! '-) Janis

I like that thought Janis. You, me, Brad and DanDude headin' for the

This was great! Hey no offense to Marisa, but if she ever wrote fairytales, I
have no doubt this is exactly how it would begin: "Y'all ain't gonna believe
this sh*t..." I mean, I can HEAR it now.
As for Northerners being more rude than Southerners, yup! Bigtime. I'm from
NY, lived in Texas, Maryland, Massachusetts, and now live in Florida. Hey, no
offense again, but Southerners have WAY too much time on their hands to
chit-chat. I wanna just get where I'm going, ya know? ( I'm about as impatient
as they come.) But if you like warm, friendly people, the South is the place
to be. Hey, I know this North/South topic is probably old by now, but I'm just
back from a vacation in Boston where people were quite rude and I rather
enjoyed it! I know I'm weird weird weird, but the fast pace and the lack of
bullsh*t up North was one great big breath of fresh air for me.

"goin' on." But rather than missing out completely, I'll post a
message on a nearly abandoned thread , thereby reviving it, even
though its off-topic.
About y'all (or yall): there have been raging, flaming
discussions going on in alt.english.usage and sci.lang about whether
Southerners *ever* say "y'all" when its *not* addressed to two or
more. Some regular poster and his buddies think that they do, but that
Souterners won't admit to it. Then 10,000 Southerns post that they
don't do that; and that only non-Southerners(ahem, yankees) living in
the South or TV characters' dialog uses y'all for the singular person.
I don't ever recall hearing y'all used for a singular you
when I've lived South of the Mason-Dixon, or in Maryland. I do recall
plenty of other contractions like y'alls' and even y'alls's(Marisa!)
for possesive. And" y'all're":
" Y'all're going down to Mary's for the day, right?"
Personally, I use the full "you all." I think "you all"
heard faily often around here. (San DIego, LA) The many Spanish
speakers get to have "ustedes." No fair. I think "you all" bleeds
over into non-Southern English like a Spanish shadow.
English needs that pronoun!

Hi! We have used ya'll here in Texas pretty much all my life! Who
cares
if it is considered "good grammar". Do you think that you have
exclusive
rights to using the word? Give me a break!

Snakes. Why did it have to be Snakes.
Viki
who's wondering what you really think of us, after all
mgbp
Snakes. Slimy-looking, slithering, threatening creatures lurking in the
dark, sliding on their bellies at the bottom of a damp, dirty pit.
Forked tongues, pink and flickering in and out from between their sharp,
venemous fangs. Why, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever called me ;).
I'm just playing, I think.
MG,
who's not implying this is what he meant... it's just the imagery I get
when I think of a snake pit. Now, a "Snake Pitt" might be something
entirely different....
Viki
Actually, now that I think about it, a snake is quite appropriate.
freudian, perhaps. . . .
hmmmmmmmm, maybe I'll have to reconsider. . .

And now, the genesis of an off-hand comment...
I was trying to think of a pun on "Pitt/pit" and it came to mind.
The next thing I thought of was the Cure song "The Snakepit".
Then the movie, which I don't know anything about.
Honestly, it was just a lame pun...
