Ugh Susan, I know a lot of people who are prejudiced against Southern accents. Having called some of them out on it I can add that the explanations/justifications for the prejudice are... not helping.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Data point: from my years in NC and yes, MD, I tend to go southern drawl (indeterminate) when tired or angry. Combined both in Australia on multiple occasions, got several " I loooove your accent" from Australians and Belgians who had no idea the source.

Me too. Tired, angry, or watching football.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, it's not uncommon to get ringworm from an animal.
Yeah, I was meaning to riff on their single-ness.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
prefaced with "no offense,
Whenever someone says that to me, I just say, very pointedly "we'll see".
And this one jackhole once said, when he was done with his offensiveness, said "were you offended" and I replied "I don't know why you're pretending that you care; if you did, you wouldn't have said it in the first place."

D'oh. That flew totally over my head. (Obviously.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I am now imagining all the bitches (so to speak) in Steph's neighbourhood singing to their furry beaus "If you like it then you should have put a ring on it".

For the first time in a long time, Utah is getting national-level campaign ads. It's weird, like being on vacation and listening to other people's radio ads. Cruz is disturbing and slimy, Bernie doesn't have a prayer. Bernie's ad talks about breaking up the banks, which will make the typical Utah voter clutch their pearls in Red Scare horror. Cruz has a lot of solemn stuff about 2nd Amendment rights and patriotism that makes me turn down the radio.

Cruz might want to consider that those Second Amendment rights also apply to the gays and godless heathens that he has earmarked for second-class citizenship. Under the kind of regime he'd usher in, I'd be stocking up.
