Hey hey hey!
Oklahoma is South, not Midwest.

 		OT but we were discussing the Emmet Till affair today, and now I don't know that I want to be associated as a southerner. Sometimes our history disgusts me. (Not that other places in the US don't have their share of terrible things.)


On topic:

...I dunno. D: Craving something new to latch onto.

And I wish we had more Slendy around here. Smile

I know that feeling. Grew up in Alabama, currently in Iowa. I haven't ever enjoyed the stigma of being a Southerner (not having an accent helps a lot, though), but at the same time, I'm disgusted by our history. Both recent and not-so-recent.

I do not embrace the racist-south. I embrace southern rock and hospitality and sweet tea. There's more to the region than the ignorance and cowboy hats.

I dunno, maybe it's the area I grew up in. Any flagrant displays of hate towards any minority group are met with absolute disgust by the community at large.

There is nothing sweet, about southern sweet tea. I've had it, and its bitter.

100% right, Dixie. (Though I have to agree that sweet tea is nasty and bitter.)

I WILL DEFEND SWEET TEA TO THE DEATH. >:[

I could live off of Red Diamond and home-grown Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. For a few days until my body gave out on me.

 		I've yet to find a bottled sweet tea that I like. Prefer to make my own.

Yeah, I get the "You're from the South? Oh, you must be a dumb redneck racist." stuff from people too, but there are plenty of murdered Native Americans to point to if anyone from other parts of the US wants to play the My-ancestors-were-better-than-yours game.

I am a bad person, because I laughed.

 		It's weird. I lived in Alabama until 5 years ago today. I usually have no special love for the place, but for some reason Entry #51 of MH was making me a little homesick. Kudzu+railroad tracks=childhood, I guess.

I'm kind of a heretic in that I don't like sweet tea; it's too sweet for me. I drink it unsweetened, because it is bitter, and because it is my heart. The sweet-tea drinkers back home raved about Milo's bottled tea, which had just gained distributorship a few years before I moved; it originated with a local fast food chain in Birmingham and eventually became available throughout north Alabama and some surrounding out-of-state counties, I think.

(This is one reason I had trouble getting into TT early on. I hear "Milo" and I think "tea" and start giggling. I am 12.)

Better than sweet tea, if you find yourself in the Heart of Dixie, is Buffalo Rock ginger ale, only available in Alabama and a couple of lucky cities in neighboring states. It is truly the elixir of the gods, spicy and a little sweet and fizzy and burny and oh so very good.

If we don't get content soon, I'm going to start talking about Moon Pies. (Banana > chocolate.) And Goo-Goo Clusters. And Mallo Cups. And the time we took my grandmother to visit Ivy Green, childhood home of Helen Keller, and she spent the entire tour raving about how Keller had been a dirty Communist.

 		Sweet tea ftw. I love me some Red Diamond. <3

My hometown has always been really diverse, and we didn't have too much trouble with racism. You'd get your random jerk, but they were normally put in their place nice and quickly. :3

Brick to the face? Dragged out into the street and beaten? Firm talking-to?

 		Uh, mostly firm talkings, I think. Probably a few fights here and there.
