Mi-ssi....(A Southern Violation by Colt-45, Part one)


Don't spute my word.


Let me explain...

In a couple of weeks, I’ll be heading to Mississippi for a 3-day business trip.

Needless to say, most of what I know about Mississippi, I learned from that friggin' jump-rope song:

Feel free to sing along:

- Mi - ssi - ssi - PPI! –

You need to do the big “PPI!” finish at the end.


I’m not sure about everyone else, but everytime I need to spell Mississippi (which is not often), I require the assistance of a jump rope to do it.

Which is awkward...

...as I’m currently writing this post while I’m working.

Oh LOOK! Here comes Human Resources!

Apparently, my coworkers don't like my HotPants outfit.


Anyway…

I also know the following tidbits about Mississippi from movies and songs:

1) If you live in Mississippi, you are a disgusting, sweaty person with pit stains.

Also, if you’re FAT and live in Mississippi, this means that you are currently walking around with boob and/or butt sweat as well.


Mmmmmm.


2) Mississippi has a queen (if you know what I mean)

How Mississippi was able to pull this off in a Democratic society is beyond me.



3) Apparently, you can only get around in giant, Titanic-sized paddle-boats.


I can't imagine how they park these f*cking things.

When I called Hertz, I asked for a compact...but I'm not sure that's going to work out.


4) People I've talked to from Mississippi sound like inbred hillbilly sheep-f*cking drunks.

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the fact that I'm from the Northeast United States, where we are actually able to pronounce words with more than one syllable (granted, we have our own dialect...but at least I can understand myself.)

Maybe it's them.


It's probably them.

Here's how my last phone call with the folks in Mississippi went:


Me: "So, I'll be arriving on Monday afternoon, around 5 pm or so."

Billy-Bob: "Ayun. Wellum, I think that this there's dog ain't gonna hunt."

*silence*

Me: "I have no idea what you just said."

Billy-Bob: "She ain't gonna hunt! (like yelling this is helping me understand so much better) Pro'lem is just dat. If'n the bird's late, I spect this'll be all busted to Hell an' back."

*more silence*

Me: "Seriously. Is this English?"

Billy-Bob: "I F*CK SHEEP!"

No kidding.


Thanks, Billy-Bob...you've reminded me not to wear wool.

Not only may this protect me from a hillbilly ass-raping...

...but it will also cause pit stains.

And seriously...I don't WANT to fit in.

**************
Stay tuned for "Part Two"

As a South Carolinian we say, "Thank God for Mississippi." Their state is worse than ours.

That ass sweat was fantastic.

Ever had a guy from texas ask you where your accent is?

He was confused that I was from Canada and didn't have an accent.

I told him I left it back at the igloo with my pet polar bear.

Douche.

Remember: Squeal like a pig!

Angry: Thanks for the tip. I'm also considering wearing my "Hunting is for Pussies" t-shirt.

Mike: I HAVE had southerners ask me where my accent is from. Problem is I can't understand them, so I just nod and say, "mmhmm."

Billymac: "Apparently so. But they all sell gator skins."

Mississippi is one of my favorite states. When I pay my bill at a diner, I beat the cashier to the punch by saying, "Y'all come back to seeus, y'heah." The frozen look of speechlessness is priceless.

I live in Delaware...or as we say Dela-where? If you live in PA or further north, we are the south. If you live in Maryland or further south we are the north. In reality, the mason dixon line ran through our state. So we are neither north or south, we are just fucking confused.

I we speak english.

I don't want Joe Biden to plagiarize this comment. Delaware has all of 3 counties, has no taxes, and has a very boring seashore. I have some friends in Lewes that try to pretend they're from MD.

Malach the Merciless said...

Wow, I am going to see if I can get this posted in all 2 newspapers in Mississippi!

Ah live in Florida. Thuh South ain't so bad, y'all. Some folks are smart, and some folks are stupid, just like anywhere else. The problem is down here we don't talk real fast, and to the impatient Northern ear, it's hard to tell the difference between an intelligent person pausing for effect and a human cabbage struggling to find words.
