If it were, AT LEAST half of those ol' boys would have been wearing ugly-ass Univ. of Alabama caps!!! Seriously, I'm not even kidding about that!.

Those are the illiterate ones with the caps. Usually ex-football players or poly sci grads. Actually, the majority of cap wearers have never attended a class of any kind.

Down here in Alabama we have concrete devices called boat ramps that we use. I don't know of anyone that drives onto a beach to launch a boat!

Touche', Lawdog!

For the benefit of the 'Bama fans here, that word is pronounced "TOO-shay", not, "touch-eee"!!!

Romt, it's all good. I knew you didn't mean anything by it!!!

If we can't laugh at ourselves, well ... we can always laugh at the 'Bammers! (U of Al. fans).

Just stirrin' the pot!!!

Since we're Yankee bashing, y'all might as well bash me as well.
Born and raised in 'Warshington'

State.

Dad was born in Texas, traveled the world in the military (lied about his age to enter), and swore that WA was the most beautiful place on earth. So much so that he settled here and started his family.

Although I was born here, my blood his half Texan.

I'd say that gives me the advantage. Half of me won the war, and the other half refuses to give up.

I may have 50 relatives in yankee country, but half of us come from the same stock. I'd bet that I've a couple hundred relatives in the south that would gladly take any of us in. I'd call that a small army.

Be careful who ya bash, cuz ya never know where they bleed from.

As fer the video; it coulda come from anywhere. Sadly, we can't harness the energy created by ignorance. That wouldn't be 'green'.

Or would it?

Every truck that went in to rescue the explorer was a POS to begin with. The tractors were the only things worth saving and the explorer.

You'l get no bashing from me Bob. I have a couple of step brothers up your way. One lives in Seattle & the other in Portland. The Pacific NW among the most beautiful places on God's Earth. But, I don't think I could stand living up there.

You guys are heroes to me.

That reminded me of a adventure I had back in my single days. I took a girl to a deserted boat ramp for some "fun." I parked as close to the shore as possible so I couldn't be seen from the road. Well after we did the deed, it was time to leave. The damm car wouldn't start! Then to add insult to injury I found out that we got there on low tide and it was coming in! We had to walk for several miles until we saw a car coming. There were three guys in it thank God. When we got back the tide was half way up the radiator! We pulled it out in the nick of time. One of the guys asked what was wrong with it and I told him no spark. He cut a wire from my speakers and showed me the ballast resistor on the firewall and said that's the problem. He jumped it with that wire and she fired right up! Heck of a evening but she was fine and it was worth it!
