Based on the flag my previous post received, it appears that I have offended some people.  My apologies.  That was not my intent.  Just venting as I'm frustrated that I'm failing to communicate properly with people that I interact with on a daily basis.

That’s bvllshit @smokingal. I flagged you for the comment. Yes you did intend to offend people. You called people from Alabama dogs for Christ’s sake. 

Again, I apologize.  I honestly didn't intend to offend anyone but I clearly did and I'm sorry.  I did not call people from Alabama dogs.  I referenced the speech pattern of the people I had just dealt with as unintelligible, like dogs barking words.  I feel really bad that I have angered people.  It's not something I enjoy doing.  I will keep future comments and posts to myself. 

wouldnt worry about it. pretty sure ive insulted the deep south, florida, texas, the mid west, all of canada, france. when i say deep south i include every state south of boston

Florida is not the South and I don't believe they can be offended. 

florida needs to be a gate community, as in gated in

Just ran outside in a t-shirt to find my Hunt for my daughter’s library book in the car. Not fun in -15F.

Those look killer.  Do you have a link or some kind of rundown of your tamale technique?

I'm resigning to the fact that I simply can't understand what many Alabamians say.  It seems rude to ask someone to repeat themselves, repeatedly, when their diction never improves with each utterance.  It seems silly to just nod my head in agreement, particularly when they might be asking me about something for which I'm not in agreeance.  But I must digress.  It's like having a conversation with Boomhauer from King of the Hill.  I seriously don't know wtf I just agreed to.

Reminds me of when I first travelled to meet my grandparents in Philly, and my aunt kept telling me that I'd see them in two days when they came from the "sho".  I asked her what show were they seeing that lasts for two days and she looked at me like I was slow.  Turns out they were at their vacation home in Atlantic city and were at the beach that day.  "Sho = shore".  At least I understood everything but one word.  This last conversation with my fellow Alabamians left me feeling like I had just had a conversation with dogs who had been taught to speak.

Well that finally explains that time I hopped in my pickup truck and headed up to the big city of Milwaukee for Summerfest. I was walking from the hotel to the venue and asked a couple of young "English speaking" guys if I was indeed heading in the right direction. After two times and getting no response I decided to try one more time. I was still getting "that look" so I turned to my future wife and told her that these folks can't understand a thing i'm saying! 

No offense taken...

All of my fellow Alabamians are well aware of how much smarter and well spoken people are in the surrounding states of Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida and how it only increases the further you go from there.

Saw this awhile back regarding southern accents. Makes sense.

That was very interesting.  The part where they cover people in NOLA whose ancestors hailed from NY struck a cord with me.  Being born and raised in the MidWest by parents from Philly resulted in me constantly being asked where the heck I was from.

@smokingal do not keep future posts to yourself!  I wouldn't worry.  Hell, @nolaegghead regularly pisses everyone off and when they banned him we bought stickers to support him.

Nola was being a little more @nolaegghead than usual (plus some booze, which is normal).  Words were said, pictures were posted, songs were written, ballads sung, and suddenly BAM! Nola was banned.  After some heavy petitioning, some fundraising (which not sure where the money went), some back room deals made, promises said, and apologies given (not by Nola) he was allowed back on the board.
