If I won the lottery, they'd have to run through several thousand acres and lots of rescued dogs...

my brides aunt and uncle had a little cabin in south tex close to the boarder, as long as they didn't lock it when they weren't there, everything was good when they went back. if they locked it, it would have the door broken in and something was torn up

I said "yeehaw" in an email this morning and now someone thinks I'm from Texas.

dat - Posted - 11/08/2013:  08:43:26

we here in texas can always tell somebody is from somewhere else, they always say yeehaw when they get here

Nobody talks cooler than a Texas waitress

dat - Posted - 11/08/2013:  13:16:40

my bride gets a little aggravated  when we go somewhere and somebody says how "country" she talks,  around here it's normal, then we go to one of the big cities or we're traveling and they say they like her accent.   a lot of waitresses have to practice, you can tell the real thing.

PS, I hope my bride doesn't read this, she gets mad when I give her a hard time about somebody saying something about her accent 'cause she thinks I have one

DeanT - Posted - 11/08/2013:  15:38:19

There's nothing worse than a truck stop waitress in Illinois trying to talk Texan....

dmiller - Posted - 11/09/2013:  22:22:50

That depends.  If that waitress was in southern Illinois,

I'd say it was legit.  If up on I-80 (near Chicago), I'd

probably have to agree with you.

DeanT - Posted - 11/09/2013:  23:56:37

And then there's the Georgia waitresses at the Huddle Houses...

dat - Posted - 11/13/2013:  07:52:43

most any fake accent at a cracker barrel stands out quick

DeanT - Posted - 11/13/2013:  11:23:10

But the candy counter makes up for it!

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 11/13/2013:  12:30:14

I like to fake a British accent.

dat - Posted - 11/13/2013:  12:42:01

our youngest girl does that, she thinks it sounds like an English accent, I tell her she has to much East Texas wang to be English, but she keeps on and laughs

DeanT - Posted - 11/13/2013:  17:05:37

when we were kids we tried sounding like the Beatles

There was a young lady (a high school classmate of mine), who went to England in 1969 to study while she was still in high school, junior year.  She was a (somewhat) plain looking gal when she left, but when she came back - - - What a difference!

She had long straight hair/ was wearing mini skirts (unheard of in southern Indiana at the time)/ and had a distinct British accent she picked up over the past year of being overseas for studies.  She attracted the boys when she got back to our school like honey gets flies.  She had to beat them off with a stick, but she took her time about doing it!  

DeanT - Posted - 11/13/2013:  23:53:09

Fashions today have nothing on the mini skirt and tube top days

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 11/16/2013:  16:15:19

DeanT - Posted - 11/19/2013:  16:34:20

That might be where I'd have the time machine drop me off...

dat - Posted - 11/20/2013:  08:36:51

I'm not sure of when I would like a time machine to drop me off,  guessing probably the 50's

DeanT - Posted - 11/20/2013:  09:20:43
