Happy to be running
What a bunch of Dumbasses
New runner base building for my first marathon
I have run 2 half marathons 1:52:42 & 1:58:00
race obsessed
Who are you?
Holy, who let him in!
It is a good thing that we will have Sly to translate in January. He can speak Louisianan.
heheh...'course I am beginning to think ImaRunnah is shy, I have been running in her town and she never waves at me. (There are not that many folks around those parts)
Not a dude
Eh, shut yer piehole. :P
Team TJ
I may not be real smart, but I sure am slow....
Running for TJ because he can't.
Awww shit, he found me, us.
I grew up in CenLa and anyone north of Alexandria was considered a redneck. To make matters worse we'd refer to them as... "ya'll know, those people with the skoal can printed on the ass of their blue jeans".
Shreveport just as well be part of Arkansas, because they all talk the same.
Paula..your story reminds me when I first brought my wife (from Toronto) to N.O. and they asked her is she wanted her po-boy dressed. She gave them that confused dog/head turned sideways look. She soon caught on, although she refuses to say Ya'll but has mastered the 'Whereyaat' very nicely.
Misty
I've never seen you! Well, it turned out I saw you and your wife running that one time but I didn't know it until you confirmed later .
Bless your heart.
I guess I should of put a wink after that dumbasses comment
never runs the tangents
The real test is if you know the all important difference between "y'all" and "all y'all" because they are TOTALLY different.

Don't call me Buttercup!
I am having entirely too much fun narrating this thread in my head now that I know Misty has such a fun accent. I have no real discernible accent, having been bounced around all over the world as a child, but put me in the south for more than 5 minutes, and I tend to morph. I blame it on my daddy, who is from Tennessee. Once he and I had a half hour phone conversation and at the end of it, my roommate looked at me and said "Where the hell did that come from?" I didn't even notice I'd started twangin'. LOL
Slow and steady wins the.... wait a second! I've been lied to!
Aponi - then there's the holy trinity: all three y'all...
Run264fun, your wife and I shared the same exact experience. Asking me if I wanted my po boy dressed was bad enough, then add in saying the words with the thick accent, I could figure out if they were even talking to me. I just want a sub, yo.
i had to adopt the y'all when I started waiting tables In college. Saying "how you guys doing" to a table of Southerners gets you some weird looks.

If I recall you are currently living in Canada, so you'll get what I am talking about here...
Thanks to my wife, my girls are 'trained' to say 'pardon' rather than 'what' or 'huh'? Or when someone says 'thank you', they respond with 'you're welcome'. The thing that drives my wife insane is when she asks a question and the response is 'huh'?? or more so, when she says 'thank you' and the response is 'huh huh'.
When I worked in Winnipeg, I trained myself to say 'eh', and still say it to this day, because just saying 'huh' or as I used to get teased by my Canadian buddies.... "huuuuhhhhhh", well .....just sounds dumb.

Nah. She isn't shy. She wants to give me a hug right when we meet in January. I told her that she needs to give me 30 minutes. I am antisocial and take time to warm up to folks.
Personal Bests:
800M - 2:38 (5/28/13) | 1 Mile -5:54 (5/28/13) | 3K - 11:55 (12/29/12) | 2M - 13:00 (12/1/12) | 5K - 20:00 (4/12/13) | 13.1M - 1:37:24 (2/3/13)
Whenever I am at my parent's house, I sound like Boomhower from King of the Hill.
That's okay. Misty and I will hug right away. So there. We don't need your hug.
