Yankees Welcome!

Yankees Welcome!


It never ceases to amaze me that in our America, the ease with which you can pick out regional differences.

Here in the South, many from the North stick out. I like watching them at City Council meetings. When I travel above Tennessee, I never have any inclination to stay, much less, change things. Nothing wrong with Up There, I just like Here better.

But, I see a LOT of people from Up There retiring and coming down here to stay. I see a lot of illegal aliens, too, but at least the aliens don’t get confrontational as often.

The problem with both groups is that they like it here, but they want to change it to some sort of …..

I am sitting here watching the Jay Leno Show, and for the first time I can recall, they actually cut part of the interview. Some girl comic was about to tell a Paris Hilton story. She no more than got that out of her mouth, then there was a rough jump cut, and Leno saying, GOOD NIGHT! Wow.

Now, back to my mini-rant.

Northerners are not content to simply move here and assimilate. No, they want to save us from ourselves. Northern influence is why we, after what, a thousand years, are starting to see a glut of the word Town and Center spelled Towne and Centre. Look at Turkey Creek. It was a good idea, but, now, I am about afraid to drive in there.

So, I came up with an idea. Here is  how Yankees can come here, and be perfectly content, without pestering the rest of us:

There is still a lot of pastureland that nobody is really using. We pave a road back there, and direct all the snowbirds that way. They can even call it a borough or a township, or whatever they call their cities. Then, they can argue about the price of something loudly, or snort their noses at redneck stupidity all day long.  Back in their holler…..er…..burgh.

We won’t lose any of their fat retirement money, either. When Squidward moved to the managed community away from Spongebob, he eventually got bored of being surrounded by himself, and eventually came out and chased people with a leaf blower.

So will these people. They’ll want to, but won’t be able to live in their enclave, what with Turkey Creek and Gatlinburg there.

Oh, wait.

They already did this. Its’ called Tellico Village….. lol

PS – If you can’t see that this is a silly thing I banged out to test a feed I just joined, you need to find something else to do besides read my silly shit.

Here are some key words to fake out search engines: WMD, Iraq, Bush, liberal, taxes, TennCare, gays, Christmas, uh, what else, South Park, Bombings, whatever……
