Went float tubing Saturday. Does that count?

Do you own your own business? :)

Hell yeah, you can. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences!!!!

I eat at Cracker Barell just so I can get their bowl of turnip greens

I love all greens except spinach, which is another story. When I was
young, my grandmother would cook collard greens and also chittlins at
the same time. Only a true southerner even knows what chittlins are.
When she would cook them, the smell was so bad the flies would be
covering the screen door trying to get out.


Would that be "true southerners" in many countries?

chitterling, n.

(ˈtʃɪtəlɪŋ)

(Chiefly in pl.). Forms: 3, 6 cheterling, 5 chytyr-, chiterlynge, 6
chyter-, chetter-, chytterlyng, chiterling, 7 chiter-, 7–9 chitterlin,
6– chitterling.

[Found also in the dial. forms chidling, chitling, chitter, chitteril;
the primary form and derivation are doubtful. The Germ. kutteln
chawdrons, MHG. kutel, agrees in sense, but has only a remote relation
phonetically, coming nearest to the form chidling.]

1.1 The smaller intestines of beasts, as of the pig, esp. as an article
of food prepared by frying or boiling. Sometimes filled with mince-meat
or force-meat, as a kind of sausage.

â€*2.2 A frill, ruff, or ornamental pleating; esp. the frill down the
