The Brit's think us American's have bastardized the English Language....
Alabama makes the english language an Art form....
Crunk... ( yep I asked the girl Three time what she ment.... Huh... you
crunk something? )
Oneonta.... Pronounced... (On E On ta).... yep only wreck I ever had in a
4 wheeled vehicle... out buying rock... came over a Hill and our Lady is
sitting there Dead Stopped in the Road.... Took out the right front corner
of my old white pickup.... Lost half my life to that scare.... and was damn
lucky to walk away unhurt....
Eufaula (You Fall ah) ..... nice place... they got a lake.... but No
buoy's.... guess they put them Pole things in them there ski boats... ya
know the 14' bass boat with the 500hp Johnson.... something about getting
to a fishing hole first? hmmmm
Opelika ( O pa Lie Ka ).... They do have a Police department.... both of
them.... one car and NO stop like..... but DON'T speed their..... Think
Mirror glasses.... and Baseball bats.... Yep our hero's are special... but
Folks generally mind the law around here....
