Be glad you own a Toyota!

I suspect that hubby is not Viperkiller's type of Southern belle!

Heh...

Oh, come now. That was a pretty good flick for 1930-whatever.

My father is from the South, and he's one of those _defensive_ Southerners. He used to get pissed off at me when, as a kid, I'd do impressions of the TV commercials for Shake-n-Bake: "There's one fuh chicken, an' one fuh FIH-yish!"

"Southerners don't talk like that!" he'd yell. The hell they don't, I thought...

Not here in San Jose, it doesn't. Matrices are thick on the ground, but I very rarely see a Vibe. I think Toyota has a lot more cachet in Caifornia than any American brand. The situation is undoubtedly different in other parts of the country.

Geoff

California? The land of fruits and nuts. EVERYTHING is different in other parts of the country.

You must believe that paint sealant, mud guards, paint stripes and fair market adjustment actually adds $3,000 in value LOL

mike hunt

I dunno - he's very purty...

I guess, but it's downright painful for me to watch those profound stereotypes (Not just of blacks) - I realize it's the way it was at the time, but I'd rather not watch it. LOL I watch old movies all the time, but something about GWTW makes me hork. The accents are the worst part for me, though.

Sorry, dad, but the Shake 'n Bake accent was REAL. "And ahhhh halped!"

Natalie

Yup -- and California is the bellwether for the rest of the country. We're on the leading edge, culturally speaking, and most of what happens here will happen in your quaint li'l ol' backwater sooner or later.

I bet you wish _you_ lived here, just like most people who don't.

If that were true GM would not be outselling Toyota more than three to one in the US. ;)

mike hunt

Only in the states that vote for the Dims. ;)

Ray's correct. My wife is more like my southern belle with blue eyes. With all respect to your hubby, Natalie.

I have brown eyes and brown hair. Does that count?

Viperkiller trolled:

Who gives a damn about her accent? Vivien Leigh is one all-time piece of ass.

cordially, as always,

"Viperkiller" :

He's not a southerner, either, so two strikes...

:)

Natalie

Works for me

:-)

Natalie

You're so deep

Sounded almost exactly like my second cousins down in Mississippi.. . . . Looked kinda like one of them, too . . . .

Well we didn't say everyone in the US was smart, now, did we? They did vote for that yahoo from Arkansas for President twice, after which I was ashamed for my country for 8 years. . . .

I never understood WTF the attraction to that POS movie was.

The reason congressmen try so hard to get re-elected is that they would hate to have to make a living under the laws they've passed.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
