Thread Name: BS: How you say the things you say
Subject: RE: BS: How you say the things you say
Well, well, well...

Now here's a subject I can sink my teeth into seein' az I am self trained talker-ologist... Yup, I know more about talkin' than any 100 womenz standin' out front of Walmart waiting fir them doors to open fir the 20% off Gopher's Day Sale...

Yup, little that most of you folks know, me and Al Gore invented talkin'... Sho nuff did... We'd just inveneted the innernet and had another hour to blow so I looked over at Al and asked, "Whad you wanta invent next?" and he says...

..."Ahhhhh, a Social Security lock box" and so I says...

..."Come on, Stiffy, we can do better than that!" and so he comes up with inventin' talkin and so we did it... Only took an hour, too!!!

But now, a few o' things about talkin' has gotten all haywired, what evet hay wirin' is? Like, hey, I thought hay was hay... Ain't like a lamp that needs to be wired 'er nuthin'...

But how 'bout this "fixin'" thing... The P-Vine will say stuff like "Fixin' to rain"... Like if something has to be fixed inorder fir it to rain then somethin' musta been broke up there in rain-burg... What, the clude broke and needs fixin'??? Hmmmmmm, then why do they call it a cloud "burst" when it does rain??? Yeah, me an' the Wes Ginny Slide Rule been on this one fir years...

Then the P-Vine says somethin' like "fixin' to break"??? Hmmmmmmm???
Like what's that all about??? That one has sent both me and the Wes Ginny Slide Rule to the medicine cabinet on many an occasion...

Ahhhh, now lotta folks 'round Mudville from time to time has said some purdy hurin' things 'bout the way I talk here an' some has written me PM'z an' said I was fakin' this and fakin' that an', well, I really hates to tell ya ya all and, themunz as well, but I write the way I talk... Sho nuff... Now that don't mean that when I have these little typo things that that is the way I talks 'cause it ain't... Themz is jus' typos...

I reckon I gotta mix of Southern and Mountain dialect dialectin' me with a whole lotta black dialect since I has spent a lot of my adult life workin' and livin' 'round black folks but I also got a ltttle bit o' red neck mountain having lived 'round a bunch of 'um fir the las' 20 years, tho I get my weekly break from 'um by playing blues down in D.C....

Well, that's 'bout all me and the Wes Ginny Slide Rule gotta say 'cept we'd better hurry up and post this 'cause I got this feelin' that this pudder is fixin' to break...
