Did you say "mates". I was one of the "buddies" that made the trip and it was awesome. Thanks "you guys" for an awesome time. I can't wait for another trip south (once the snakes and gators are dormant).

watch it now! Them thars fiten wurds.

We aren't nearly as bad as hollywood portrays us.

Country calls us Yankees, but we live in the land of legends. Yep. The whitetail capital of the world, Ohio. Where we're from, we hate Hollywood!

Stay on here long enough we will have you saying the pledge of allegiance to the confederate flag, eating chitterlings and singing the "Convoy song" by CW McCall. We are definitely not politically correct to be in hollywood's good graces.

You were not complaining about my double reed will you were shooting those ducks falling though the timeber.

C'mon Country, you know I'm kiddin'. It was nice to not have to call and sit back and listen to you, Book, and Micahl blowin' like crazy. In fact, I was at lunch with some fellas yesterday who hunt in Aligator MS and we were talking about how "you guys" must be born with a damn duck call in your crib! They hunt with a boy who plays for the St. Louis Cardinals. You know who that would be?

Buckeyehoov, first lesson in speaking "Southern" ...never say "you guys." Someone will mistake you for a New Yorker, and that's near 'bout as bad as being from California! Proper phrasing would have you write it as "y'all" and pronounce it as one syllable "yawl." Appropriate usage would fall in a sentence such as "Y'all put on a right good feed last night for supper." Loosely translated into the Ohio vernacular, that means "Thank you for preparing such a lovely dinner last evening. I enjoyed it immensely." A couple more trips South and you might just stay! :wink:

Welcome aboard; I'm sure y'all will add a valuable perspective from above the "Dixie" line.

Give them a break crow. i tried to teach them our languge when they came down but i got a lot of work left. I called them and told them not to forget their long handle underwear and had to translate it to thermal underwear.

They are good people and can shoot alright too.

Did you not notice the quotations around my "you guys"'s? It's sorta an inside joke between the boys. Country told us something down there that I have probably told to 50 people and it ALWAYS gets big laughs. We were standing around after a days hunt with the whole group and Country says to his buddies, "We knew y'alls was yankees when you said "you guys" (in his best northern accent). It was classic. Besides, accents are all relative. When I go up to Wisconsin to bow hunt they think I'm from Tennessee or something.

Yeah, as a lot, I'd say Midwesterners are a pretty good bunch. Probably more like southerners than most parts of the country (That's a big compliment, by the way). Now, MN may be a different kettle of fish, though. Some of my family moved up there, and in only a couple of years worth of brain freezing, they started every sentence with something that sounds like "Uh, yah." As in, "Would y'all like another helping of grits?" "uh, yah. I sure would!" Not only do they talk funny, but the women in MN are absolutely butt ugly! Yee, Gods! I'm glad I don't live up there amongst them! Ohio seems to be a pretty nice place, though, with the exception of Akron. But, MS has its share of places like Itta Bena. By the way, did they play football at Ohio State this year?

BuckeyeHoov · Postby **BuckeyeHoov** » Thu Feb 20, 2003 10:46 am

Yeah, only in the Nordic States do they start a sentence with ya and end it with eh, eh. Everything is eh. You know, eh? Akron's not so bad. It's Toledo that is a hole. Wish we could've given to Michigan. They're all scUM fans up there. I imagine that the Ole Miss/Miss St. game is a dandy every year, but if you're a college football fan you need to make one OSU/Mich game in your lifetime. It's totally electric. I live 18 miles from the stadium (and yet still live on a dairy/horse farm) and it's all that matters in Ohio in the fall. We'll hunt in the morning and make it home usually by kickoff. Did OSU play some football this year :shock:

The greatest year of my life. A Buckeye National Championship and an awesome trip to MS. What a year.

Funniest North-South translation snafu was when I was hunting a couple of fellas from NY. A duck landed on the water and they smacked him. Then one of them says, "What do you call that down here....pan frying them?" I laughed so hard I cried then told him it is called skillet shooting!
He is forever known now as Andy "pan fry 'em" Marshall.
