Sure I can. High brow has its place, but this ain't it. But, what evah.

Why contribute to it, it does more harm than good, and continues to make us look like dumb rednecks, which we aren't. I made comment on the man's post about newbies, of which I was one. What I have noticed is that threads on this forum often get hijacked by a few posters that tend to dominate the conversation and delight in belittling others. As far as abbreviating, I see your point, but consider this, the following take just many keystrokes as the correct spelling; feller (fellow), minners (minnows), greazy (greasy), thang (thing), dranking (drinking), messican (mexican), gewber (goober), fer (for), feshes (fishes), 7 hunnert (7 hundred), feelay (filet), and finally my favorite, boofay (buffet). I suspect some think it's cute, just like your teeth comment. I'm sure this post won't win me any friends, but it's just how I feel, and I could not let it pass without responding. Have a great day but leave a few for seed.

you may be right there, uh carl......

Didn't mention it in my previous post, but like GWDawg1, I also don't understand why some folks are hellbent on promoting "dumb rednecks from Mississippi" on this thread. There are enough negatives about our great state without us adding more!

called having fun. It ain't Engrish class in here

I must agree with DD and Wannabe and Minnerman on this one. I dont jump on anyone when they ask a question I usually try to help if its within my range when someone ask a question. If I dont know anything about it like pulling cranks or longlining I dont reply because I dont do it. And for the most part I thing everyone on here is willing to help anyone asking for it. But as DD said its called having fun and thats what all this is about rite? If someone thinks that us spelling words in slang is for real then they need to check themselves at the door. No one on here is mean to the degree that some people think they are. Everyone is just trying to have a good time and some fun. Anyway thats just my 2 cents worth and my opinion take it or leave it. Hey Minner, WB, and all ya other gewbers, hope ya'll catch lots of feshes and also ya'll need to drank plenty of waters when yas out thar feshin in this hot wather.

Haha, I'm cool with it now but when I first got on here I thought I had stepped back in time and into the hills but folks like minner make it an art form almost so I don't even notice it now.

Don't make me smack you GDG.

As long as we are expressing our concerns over what we will never understand: ill never understand the need to promote MS outside its own borders. Do we really want to become Washington state by promoting low taxes to the people of California? Do we really want to become Florida by promoting retirement living to the people of New York? Therefore, I don't think we should be promoting dental care to the people of Missouri.

In some measure if seriousness. We is what we is. An those that need promotional efforts in an effort to "get it" never will and ain't welcome no how.

It's time like these when I'm reminded of what my Daddy said when he was invited to be a charter member of the local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. "Why the heck would oli want to do that? If I did, more people would start hunting my turkeys". No, instead what he did was take everyone that expressed an interest, especially kids and old folks. And when he's gotten his limit every year, he'd beg folks to let him call a bird up for them

Now, if that's redneck, sign me up.
