[QUOTE="Star*, post: 444666, member: 4964"] Yeassss Yeasssss Howzie you girts a frunt row seat iffin you wants to sits at the libarry wit yo' frien Malieeka and it's prettner a stones throw frun da crik. Hound I digress; were it a reality that I was forced to pen my stories in the manner of vernacular for which I was accustomed to hearing in daily living [with the exception of our home of course] it is doubtful that anyone but swamp frogs, myself and other Southern gentlemen would scarcely understand. I'm not putting anyone down mind you, but on several occasions even the men in places I have often been have had to turn to the men speaking saying, and I quote "Boy what in tarnation did you just say? Sounded like you was speakin' with a mouth full of marbles." The [I]real[/I] Southern boys that I've had the utmost pleasure of being around? Have been a complete delight to know all the way around. Manners abound. I'm very pleased to have my door opened, or to have a gentlemen step out of the way and allow me to pass through the door first or to offer his chair to me in a crowded room. In kind I always thank them, and if the person happens to be younger it was told to me quite acceptable to utter 'Please thank your Mother for raising you proper' which to date has never gotten anything but a smile and a thank you in return. Past that? I can tell you stories from the bottom of Florida to the top of Ohio that would curl Native American hair like Shirley Temples. [/QUOTE]
