A little bidness to take care of
It has come to my attention, (I do thank ya, Erudite Redneck) that we need to take care of some bidness of difinin' whose in the South. Okleehoma wants in on bein' considered a part of da South. Heck, I like ya'll Okkies, ya'll ain't bad folks. And I do declare that you presented a good argument for admition. All them thar Injuns that we plucked up from ther houses and made 'em go live out yonder in the dad burn boon docks. I suppose ya'll do have a lot of Suthern in ya. Ya'll might actually be real red necks. Well, we'll let folks vote, since we still part of da Union and let 'em decide if OK can be thought of as the South. I hold put on any CO rekshun until the folks decide. How 'bout dat?

What they by-God did fer the 'cause was they fit! Brig. Gen Stand Watie, a Cherokee, in particular. He, Suh, was the last feller to surrender, in mid-June of '65 ( I ferget the 'zact date). But he was, in fact, the last to lay down his'n arms. He had fit all over Indian Territory, and some of his men fit at the Battle of Pea Ridge and the Battle of Prairie Grove, across the border into Arkansaw. And he was a skirmisher's skirmisher in the territory proper. His biggest feat (I wrote this fer a history deal I'm doin' some work fer): "During the Civil War, the area near Webbers Falls (in present Muskogee County) was a hotbed of sympathy for the Confederacy, fueled by the stealthy successes of Confederate Colonel, later Brigadier General, Stand Watie, a Cherokee. ... The most significant Civil War action in what is now Sequoyah County was Watie’s notorious June 15, 1864, capture of the steamboat J.R. Williams by attacking from Pleasant (Pheasant?) Bluff, at present Tamaha in Haskell County; the steamboat ran aground on the north side of the (Arkansaw) river, where Watie and his men looted it, enlivening the Southern cause." Now that y'all got some facts, you'ns can vote knowledgably!

I'll swaney, all that dag gum suthernisme show nuff gave me a hankering for a hissy fit! It might could turn my brain as flat as a flitter and geez, it aleady feels it's as useless as teats on a boar hog. Am fixin to get me a swig of Coke and give you down the cuntry, tho I dont wish any bad thangs on ya.
But I'll be dog if I understand it. I am runnin around like a goose lookin fur thunder and I show don't need it as much as chipmunks need side-pockets. Yea, yu'r shooting in the hole where the rabbit is, I'll admit. All this hollerin is show nuff to let ya know its takin care of bidness. I am learnin suthern. How bout that!
Thank ya, Sir! :-)
Mr. Redneck,
I do declare those are some mighty fine arguments you got goin' on thar.
Miss 3&8,
Oh I don't need to check my language it's all mighty fine and dandy.
Kc,
We sutherners are gon to have to stick together on dis one and not let them thar Texans and OKies be a part of de South, now aren't we?
Corry,
I'll swaney, I think youd don picked it up some. How's that acsent comin' along, shug?
Miss 3&8,
Them some mighty sweet statements you got thar. But you see ma'am, you had to go to the South to enjoy them thangs. I mean thar is Texas Motor Speedway in DFW area, but a smaller porcentage of the folks har (Har be'en Texas) do NASCAR than in the South.
I'd say you are a southern' gurl all right, maybe just misplanted.
My thesis. Oh crap. Do I have to think about it now? Please say no. And PhD work. I am just enjoying graduating in 9 days. And I certainly couldn't handle Southern Studies.
Hmm... are the suthern Netherlands included har? Ah reckun Ah could use sum help with that acsent. Maybe ye could might consider makin a language course out uf it. A'll trade ya fur a dutch un haha.
Miss Corry,
You gotta yourself a deal.
