I don't see any fun in that.

Makes beer and squirty cheese seem high-brow by comparison.

All those artificial sweeteners taste like chemicals to me. Sugar or
Karo syrup are where it's at.


... Some places down south over sweeten
their tea

It's not possible to over sweeten tea.
Do I have to explain it? Sugar must be added to tea while it's hot from
brewing, so that it will dissolve more sugar than when cold, and not be
cloudy when chilled.

It is not possible to add sugar to iced tea and turn it into sweet tea.

I have not explained this to anyone in years, having given up long ago.
If you have to have it explained, then you are not a Southerner. BTW my
wife makes excellent tea and she is originally from New Jersey, so
there's hope for anybody.

When I was 10 (a million years ago) we drove to Florida in the days before
e-ways and had car trouble in GA....we couldn't get anyone to fix the car
until after the lynching...was the entertainment of the week....we were
appalled....that was in 1962.....

That's one of the things that has changed for the better.

When I was a kid there were segregated restrooms and water fountains...
seperate but not hardly equal.

I don't think it's necessarily a Southern thing though. When I visited
cousins up North in the same era many kids gathered rocks in the school
parking lot of the bus ride home, to throw out the school bus windows at
black people or their cars. They thought it was funny.

Sorry to make such a downer poste. I'm going to browse some sailing
websites to cheer up.

depends how often the sanitation guys come by to clean up.
sometimes decades

You'll no doubt be happy to know I just drove through Lousiana, Alabama,
Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and now S. Carolina with nary a single
lynching. Although I would cheerfully nominate Perkins Restaurants for the
dishonor and tie the know myself.

.......of course there's still N.Carolina and Virginia yet to go ...

Denny's....I'll take a Waffle House anyday...
