Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Try this link; they're all 2005 storms

All those names have been used multiple times. Gert-2005 wasn't a hurricane, so the teacher must mean one of the earlier Gerts, such as Gert-1999.

Dear Ben's Teacher:

FOUL!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

msbelle, if it helps any, Emmett's best friend is named Preston.

I don't know what Britney was thinking. Preston Msbelle sounds so much better than Preston Spears Federline.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

There are no one syllable words in the south.

At the risk of having to EAT IT, that's not true. In fact some of our words have less syllables than northern/standard words. Take for example what we do with crawfish. Some people would say we boy-il them, they would be the people waiting around for us to boil (I cannot think of a way to spell that phonetically, but it only has one syllable) them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ok, Heather called me on my hyperbole. Boll (the o is actually swallowed) is a good example, as is et, thar, ma, & pa.

and, of course, to speak of a "southern" accent as if there was one incarnation of such a thing is possibly the most ridiculous thing ever. EVER! There are a good 4 distinctive accents just within Texas.

I AM APPALLED that Britney stole it.

I'm sad that she had a boy. I had money on the baby name being "L'Oreal Diamond."

I shared an apartment with a native of Augusta, GA, a central North Carolinian, an Atlantan and one from Nashville.

They'd play duelling accents. And I ended up sounding like all of them mashed together for that semester.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

That's another good one- my cousin, educated with a doctorate still says far for fire and mira for mirror. Mine's not nearly that thick, I have certain words that pinpoint where I'm from (boll, and other oi words, Loosiana, yestaday, and Chals) but other than that my English is pretty standard if slightly southern.

If I only had a brain...

But McClellan says Bush intends to stress the "unprecedented'' nature of the hurricane that struck two weeks ago

Apart from, say, Galveston, the Labor Day Hurricane, Camille, and Hugo, then?

Thanks. Just checking.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Puppies and Tigers!

Rain! Falling from the sky! How could anyone have predicted that?
