Why do people say...

[Dick Reece]

threads that have gone bad, have gone "South"? I want to say here and now,if you ain't Southern,you ain't diddly [heh-he,here goes another thread headed "South"].You buncha Yanks and cowpokes are always bad mouthing us Rebs,and I say I'm American by birth,and Southern by the Grace of God!!

Buncha dad blasted mealy mouthed yanks and flea bitten cowpokes

 

[whitedeer]

And I'm getting tired of all you damn hillbillies from the "turn coat" state a tryin' to pass yo selves off as Southerners.

 

[Dick Reece]

hah!!,kiss my fanny,hippy

We were a "covert" spy state

 

[whitedeer]

Keep it up.....you'un is wurst than them thar "galvanized yankees".

But your comment on "Goin' South" does come from when things turned sour on the "Redlegs" they headed for Texas, and thus the term "Goin South" was coined as when things went bad.

 

[Nut]

To me Goin South always has meant Heaven to me.

 

[Dick Reece]

we wuz playing both sides,waiting for a chance to anihilate both armies and march on Washington.Them redlegs cain't hold a candle to us rednecks

Right there with you Nut

[Dick Reece]

I guess I ain't diddley... but I am not sure I wanna be diddley!

Actually I live in a state which was not part of this country or that conflict, and none of my ancestors lived in this country at the time either...
I consider myself neither Southern or Northern, but American... I am a hippie, but they were not involed in the civil war either.

I find it amazing people can take so much pride in being losers?

Especially some war they lost so long ago, which was fought for such an uncivilized thing as slavery.
Kinda like an old uncle, from the old country, who had to keep showing the grotesque scar he got fighting for the Nazis in WWII...

I don't think I ever have been in the old South (Mo wasn't a state yet was it?), dunno if I'll ever bother to go... Northern Hippie Commie like me probably ain't welcome anyway!

And all y'all got fer clambin' awn is sandrock anywho!

You've spent no time in West By Gawd,if you think we have no climbing rocks or cliffs.And if you think this thread is serious and there is any genuine loyalty to anything other than the US,I've got some beachfront property in AZ I'd like to sell you

Now,shet up,hippie,whilst I start another feud

 

[whitedeer]

Well, Diddley Squat......I guess they did a piss poor job of educating you as well.....The War for States Rights was fought over state's rights.....Slavery was not an issue til Uncle Lincoln made it one......after the fact.

 

[Dick Reece]

Hah,I smell meat and taters comin to the front

Don't get serious on me now,this one is for kicks

Q:Say,what's 100 feet long and has 3 teeth ?
A: The funnel cake line at the WV State Fair!

 

[Krustyklimber]

I guess I will just shut the hell up!

I wasn't serious either, I know there is good climbing all over the country... some of it even is in the Virginias (Seneca Rocks is a world class destination).

I also know the tallest mountain in the Mountain State is lower than most of our passes through the mountains... you guys must be foothillbillies!

14,480 feet with volcanic steam coming out of the top...now that's a Mountain!!!

Hey what does this B.S. have to do with Varmints and Varmint Hunting anyway?

Jeff

 

[brad h]

Damn, at 14,480, there's nowhere to go BUT south!

Brad

 

[Quarter Round]

Well Seldom it seems you've failed to stir up a single pilgrim, but I do believe you've riled a few mountain men.

You know that could lead to some real wrasslin

fits on this board.

 

[Slydog]

OOOOooo crap, here we go again!

FYI I'm from southern Colorado and I now live in southern Idaho and you hillbillys duno dutily squat about westerners.

Q: How did we go from hillbillys to hippies?

Q; anyone know how to get to Texas?

A: go east till ya smell it and south till ya step in it,,,

Now before we have to relive the Alamo, It was just a joke boys,,Ha Ha???

Talk about stepin in it.

sly

 

[Dick Reece]

Step in what,and who would climb a volcano ?I didn't give this state it's motto,I just work here! Stand back boys,I'm feelin kinda crowded. Quarter round,pass me a funnel cake

.

Foothillbillies,I like it,it kinda grows on ya.I think we've got more mountains than any other state,thus the name.

Always remember,it ain't the size o' the mountain,it's the hillbillies in it!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I think we've got more mountains than any other state,thus the name.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>It would have to be a percentage, as there are individual mtn ranges that are probably close to the size of WV. Plus, I think NV holds the percentage title (not 100% sure), but depends on definition of mountain. I do know this, what the mountains in ID lack in height they make up for in steepness. My ankles still hurt!

But to answer your question, I have to think it deals with South being at the bottom of the map, thus down is South.

[Dick Reece]

Hmmmm,if down is South,everybody's been there at one time or another

[kiwi hunta]
