In 1988, The Revolutionary Council Declared

The Official Beer of the
Provisional People's Democratic Republic of
Diego Garcia!

  Top 10 Reasons San Magoo is the prefered beer of all true citizens of the PPDRDG:
10.     By mid-month, the other choices were Schlitz, Olympia, and Pabst Blue Ribbon
  9.     It was the only bottled beer on the island
  8.     Deposit on bottles made the 3 environmentalists on the island happy
  7.     High alcohol content - could be used start beach-party bonfires
  6.     It only cost $4 per case - cheaper than Coca Cola
  5.     When freeze dried and rolled in a cigarette paper, was only legal drug on the island
  4.     Stubby bottle design prevented serious injury when used "improperly"
  3.     Brought back happy memories of better days (and nights) in Olongopo
  2.     There's just something magical about watching women drink beer from a bottle
  1.     Is listed by FDA as "suitable substitute" for Viagra

Yeah, yeah, I know times have changed out there, and Fosters, Newcastle Brown, Tiger Beer, and Coors are available, but there is only one truely tropical nautical beer - the one that John Wayne, Ward Bond and the rest of that P.T. Boat crew drank in that little bar on Zamboanga in the 1943 movie "They Were Expendible."  Except for the kid that had to drink milk because he wasn't 21 yet.

BTW, the January 2007 "Tropic Times" advertises San Miguel at the package store for $4.50/CASE.
Not bad, considering that in 1987 it was $4.00/CASE (plus a $1.00 deposit for the bottles).
Only 12.5% inflation in 20 years!
Long Live San Miguel Beer!

"...whereas here; all, as well Brandy as Wine, and all our strong compounded Drinks, such as stout Ale, Punch, Double-Beer, Fine-Ale, &c. are all drank to Excess, and that to such a Degree, as to become the Poison, as well of our Health as of our Morals; fatal to the Body, to Principles, and even to the Understanding; and we see daily Examples of Men of strong Bodies drinking themselves into the Grave; and which is still worse, Men of strong Heads, and good Judgment, drinking themselves into Idiotism and Stupidity..."

Author - Daniel Defoe in A Plan of the English Commerce.  Defoe also wrote Robinson Crusoe, and clearly understood the situation on Diego Garcia...

   At last, a beer ad that tells it like it is...

The closest I ever got to a 4.0 in high school was my blood alcohol content.

Scientific Proof that Beer is Good For You

     A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular attrition of the weakest members.
     In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
     In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.  That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Retirement Planning:

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, You would have had $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan

To your health!

WATER...... It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of  Water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, we are Consuming 1 kilo of poop!

However....... , we do not run that risk when drinking WINE (or rum, whiskey,vodka, beer or other liquors), because alcohol has to go through a distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

WATER = POOP

BOOZE = HEALTH

So, it is better to drink adult beverages and talk shit than to drink water and be  full of shit.

Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL MEN
WHO GO OUT TO CLUBS, BARS & PARTIES:

Men, you must be alert and cautious when getting a drink offer from girls in clubs and bars and at parties.  There is a new drug that is in liquid form.  The drug is now being used by female sexual predators to induce their male victims to have sex with them.  The shocking news is that the drug is available virtually anywhere! It goes by the street name "Beer".   All girls have to do is buy  a "Beer" or two for almost any guy and then simply ask the guy home for no-strings-attached sex.  Men are rendered literally helpless against such tactics.  Please, Guys!  Be careful -- there are maneaters out there!

If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.

Is Tequila Right For You?

Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Tequila.

Tequila is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions.  Tequila can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of Tequila almost immediately, and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past, and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Tequila.

Tequila may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Tequila. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headaches, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare and Naked Twister.

Ask your bartender if Tequila is right for you.


 OFFICIAL SEXIST STEREOTYPED

If you can't read it, try pulling your eyes at the corners like you used to do
when you were a kid to look Chinese (many apologies to the Chinese)

I got a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend the other day. We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic nights we  used to  enjoy together. I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in  meeting up and rekindling a little of that "magic" .

"Wow!" I said. "I don't know if I could keep pace with you  now. I'm a bit older and a little balder than when you last saw  me!"

She just giggled and said she was sure I'd "rise" to the challenge.

"Yeah" I said, "just so long as you don't mind a man with a  waistline  that's a quite a few inches wider these days!"

She laughed and told me to stop being so silly. She teased me, saying  that tubby bald men were cute, and she was sure I wou ld still be a great lover.

"Anyway," she giggled, "I've put on a few pounds myself!"

So I told her to fuck off.

"Ted - I'm sending you an article I cut out of the paper this morning [25/4/00].  I think it is extremely irresponsible for you to promote drinking on your website.  Alcohol is well known to be destructive of religious and family life and society as a whole - its almost as bad as smoking and other dangerous drugs.  This article is more proof of its dangerous effects on all of us.  When I was on the rock, booze was cheap and plentiful, and I saw many, many happily married people get drunk and cheat on their spouses, just because of beer, wine and whiskey, to say nothing of the young unmarried sailors, male and female, who would rush off to have intercourse as soon as they'd had even a couple of beers at the Turner Club.  I even knew some who became homosexuals because they drank too much and were tricked into bed by those kind of people.  My guess is they are all dead of aids by now.  I worked in the clinic, and we had so many cases of STDs, I know the Navy was embarrassed by the statistics.  Anyway, I think they ought to outlaw booze on the rock (and everywhere else for that matter), and you ought to take those pages on your website that promote drunkeness and promiscuity, and delete them right away."  [name withheld by request.]

Check out the anti-human humbugs of PETA and their proof that beer is better than milk

Some selections therefrom:

A nutritional comparison of beer and milk reveals that:

Beer has zero fat; milk is loaded with fat. [Help the government busybodies help you meet your USDA recommended Fat Maximums!]

Beer has zero cholesterol; milk contains 20 mg of cholesterol in every 8-oz. serving. [HDL, LDL, I'm so confused - because I drink lots of beer!]

Beer doesn't contain hormones or antibiotics, while milk contains an ever-increasing variety of the pesticides and antibiotics fed to cows, including rBGH, the notorious growth hormone that can give guys breasts.  [Oh, so that's where they came from. Icky-poo!  And here I thought it was because I'm fat]

Beer has half a gram of fiber in every cup; milk has no fiber whatsoever.  [That's why you get the beer shits the next morning - it keeps you regular]

Beer has only 12 mg of sodium per cup. Milk is sky-high in the stuff.  [I was sky high once, and Bill and I didn't even inhale]

Beer has 3 grams of complex carbohydrates in a 12-oz. glass; milk has no complex carbohydrates.  [Just simple sugars, which convert to fat during digestion]

 And Now, A Medical Opinion mostly concerned with our favorite adult beverage:

Tips for healthy living
by Dr. Deano Adelo

Q.  Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A.  You must grasp logistical efficiencies.  What does a cow eat?  Hay and corn.  And what are these? Vegetables.  So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your
system. Need grain?  Eat chicken.  Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).  And a pork chop can give you a full 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop.

**********
Q.  I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.  Is this true?
A.  Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it.  Everything wears out eventually.  Speeding
up your heart will not make you live longer, that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster.  Want to live longer?  Take a nap.
**********
Q.  Is beer bad for me?
A.  Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables.  As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories:  Animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer is not animal, and is not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right?  My advice:  Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.
 **********
Q.  My annual P.T. Test is coming up.  How can I calculate my body/fat ratio to make sure I don't fail?
A.  Well if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one.  If you have two bodies,
your ratio is two to one, etc.
**********
Q.  At the gym, a woman asked me to "spot" for her while she did the bench press. What did she mean?
A.  "Spotting" for someone means you stand over her while she blows air up your shorts.  This is "gymnasium short-hand" that she's interested in getting drunk and getting laid.  It's an accepted practice at health clubs in the states - there isn't a better reason to go to a gym.
**********
Q.  My CO told me I should quit hanging around the Acey-Deucy Club and head for the gym if I wanted to be heathier.  What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A.  I can't think of a single one, sorry. Unless you are practicing your 12 ounce curls.  My philosophy is No Pain - No Pain.
**********
Q.  Someone told me that I can get rid of a beer belly (I'm a Chief, so naturally I have one) by doing sit-ups.  Will sit-ups help?
A.  Definitely not!  When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger.  You should only be doing sit-ups if you
want a bigger stomach.
 


The Spice Girls Drinking Game

Well, since its a British Island, there has to be a British Drinking Game involved somewhere...

One of my British Correspondents sent this to me a couple years ago, and although I don't think the Spice Girls actually exist anymore, there are certainly videos of them out there somewhere.  Especially in the Land That Time Forgot...

So, here's how to play this game.  Get the Brits to loan you and your friends a video of any Spice Girl event (concerts, that movie, etc.).  Then sit down to watch with about 10 cases of beer (you'll need that much).  Everyone counts off, 1, 2, 3, etc., and #1 starts the event.  Start the video.  When any of the following events occur, #1 takes the appropriate number of swallows, and the play passes to #2, and so on.  REMEMBER, take SIPS of the beer.  DO NOT drink the appropriate number of CANS of beer - everyone will be passed out within 10 minutes of the opening credits!

O.K., here are the criteria...

When Any Spice Girl:

Reveals a visible nipple - 1
Flashes the "Girl Power" peace sign - 1 (take a second sip if the say it too.)
Fondles another (including goosing) - 2
Flashes their underwear - 2 (3 if its being worn like as an outer garment).
Says something coherent - 5 (don't worry, this won't happen often).

When Geri:

Is shown wearing a piece of clothing that bears a resemblance to the British flag - 1
Keeps her breasts totally covered for more than 60 seconds - 2
Is shown wearing platform boots - 2
Flashes her beaver, finish your drink (this is the only exception to the sipping rule)

When Mel C:

Is shown wearing any emblem of a sports apparel company - 1
Does a backflip - 2
Actually looks as if she actually breasts - 2

When Mel B:

Looks like she's going to bite off someone's head - 1
Shows off her tounge piercing - 1
Has on skin-tight clothes - 1 (if they're some sort of print - leopard, camo, etc. - 2)
Has her hair standing on end in that weird jerry-curl-from-hell fashion - 2

When Emma:

Is wearing that stupid ass "Baby" necklace - 2
Isn't wearning the color white - 2
Doesn't have her hair in pigtails - 3

When Victoria:

Has a complete look of confusion on her face - 1
Is not in high heels - 2
Smiles - 3
Has less than 5 pounds of makeup on - 4

BEER BREAK:
Your Two-Minute Beer Primer For Labor Day, 2001!
From http://www.realbeer.com; Vol. 1, No. 52 - Aug. 30, 2001;

[Editor's Note:  O.K.... So you guys and girls on Good Ol' DG won't be able to try most of these beers today (as I load this on the page), but I will, and I promise to try out most, if not all on your behalf!  Meanwhile, enjoy the day and knock one out of the park for me!]

We asked last week for your input on what beers to serve to an eclectic crowd of beer newbies and those ready for more adventure....here are 10 beers we've chosen for the occasion....remember that this IS NOT a list of the 10 best beers in the world, or presented as the best beers of a particular style. They are 10 beers we chose this week. Ask us tomorrow and we might list 10 completely different beers. And the next day there would
be 10 different ones. They are presented in alphabetical order.

Anchor Steam (from California): Because it's a style that America can call its own, it's tasty but won't overwhelm the taste buds of somebody moving up from mainstream lagers, and because we can then mention how much we like Anchor Liberty and India Pale Ales (we didn't have room for an IPA on this list).

Bell's Expedition Stout (from Michigan): This, on the other hand, is not the first beer to have after a light lager. It's black, viscous and thick on the tongue, sweet upfront and roasty at the finish -- a balanced attack on all your senses. A beer for those ready to find out how big and mean a beer can be.

Duvel (from Belgium): Almost as big as Expedition Stout (8.5 abv) but light in color, a blossoming aroma, creamy mouthfeel, a complex combination of fruit related flavors and a balancing dry finish. Its advocates argue it's the best beer in the world.

Eske's Green Chile Ale (from New Mexico): This IS NOT Ed's Cave Creek Chile beer, which received a fair amount of national attention a few years ago.  That is a light lager with a jalepeno pepper in the bottle. Eske's is a brewpub in Taos, New Mexico, and this is a full-bodied ale with green chiles (chiles are so big in New Mexico that the state question is "Red or Green?") providing as much flavor as heat. A perfect beer to have while sitting out in the sun on Labor Day weekend.

Lindeman's Framboise (from Belgium): A homebrewer nominated this one, because while this raspberry beer based on the lambic of this Belgian brewery is heavy on fruit it's the first beer he's found that his wine-loving wife likes. So this one is for our friends who favor wine.

Samuel Adams Boston Lager (from Massachusetts): If your colleagues like this beer they won't have trouble finding more of it to drink (in bottles) at home or on draft when they drink out -- often even if they live in the hinterlands. It's a perfect beer to offer a drinker of mainstream lagers (brewed both in the United States and elsewhere).

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (from California): Another one of the pioneer craft beers that won over thousands of beer drinkers. Give somebody a SNPA and a Boston Lager side-by-side to teach them about the difference between ales and lagers, between American hops and Europeans hops, between bottle-conditioned beer and beer that impresses with its clarity. Although Sierra Nevada has a well-earned reputation for using hops, this beer is longer on hop flavor than hop bitterness so shouldn't scare a novice too much.

Spaten Ur-Marzen (from Germany): It's time to start thinking about Oktoberfest, and the original Oktoberfest beer -- first brewed in 1872 -- is still one of the best. Spaten also brews a paler Oktoberfestbier to serve during the massive Oktoberfest celebration in Munich. Strangely, the classic and robust Ur-Marzen is sometimes easier to find in a U.S. supermarket than its home city during the festival.

Tabernash Weisse (from Colorado): Your friends don't like the deep, malty flavor in an Oktoberfest beer? They aren't sure about hops? Then a traditional Bavarian wheat beer might be the style to turn to. This one is made in Longmont, Colo., but available in many other states. A fine combination of banana/fruit flavors, clove in the aroma.  Another thirst-quenching beer for drinking outside on Labor Day.

Victory Lager (from Pennsylvania): This micro in Downingtown, Pa., has a cult following, but lovers of hops and strong beers (Victory specialties) don't talk enough about Victory's all-malt lager. Its depth of flavor is as impressive as Victory's better known HopDevil. A great "next beer" for the mainstream lager drinker, for somebody not sure about those fruity tones in an ale, or for the citrus hop adverse.

I think that I shall never hear
A poem as lovely as a beer
The brew that Joe's bar has on tap
With golden base and snowy cap
The foamy stuff I drink all day
Until my memory melts away
Poems are made by fools I fear
But only <insert favorite brand name here> can make a beer.

 Hangover Scale

One Star Hangover

No pain.  No real feeling of illness.  You're able to function relatively well.  However, you are still parched.  You can drink 5 sodas and still feel this way.  For some reason, you're craving a philly sub and steak fries.

Two Star Hangover

No pain, but something is definitely amiss.  You may look okay but you have the mental capacity of a staple gun.  The coffee you are chugging is only increasing your rumbling gut, which is still tossing around the fruity pancake from the 3:00 AM Denny's excursion.  There is some definite havoc being wreaked upon your bowels.

Three Star Hangover

Slight headache.  Stomach feels crappy.  You are definitely not productive.  Anytime a girl walks by you gag because her perfume reminds you of the flavored schnapps' shots your alcoholic friends dared you to drink.  Life would be better right now if you were home in your bed watching Lucy reruns.  You've had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 3 iced teas and a diet Coke-yet you haven't peed once.

Four Star Hangover

Life sucks.  Your head is throbbing.  You can't speak too quickly or else you might puke.  Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze.  You wore nice clothes, but that can't hide the fact that you only shaved one side of your face.  (for the ladies, it looks like you put your make-up on while riding the bumper cars.)  Your eyes look like one big red vein and even your hair hurts.  Your sphincter is in perpetual spasm, and the first of about five shits you take during the day makes the eyes water of everyone who enters the bathroom.

Five Star Hangover

You have a second heartbeat in your noggin, which is actually annoying the employee who sits in the next cube.  Vodka vapor is seeping out of every pore and making you dizzy.  You still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth from brushing your teeth in an attempt to get the remnants of the poop fairy out.  Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva so your tongue is suffocating you.  You don't have the foggiest idea who the hell the stranger was passed out in your bed this morning.  Any attempt to defecate results in a fire hose like discharge of alcohol-scented fluid with a rare 'floater' thrown in.  The sole purpose of this 'floater' seems to be to splash the toilet water all over your ass.  Death sounds pretty good about right now.

Don't EVER Pass Out!


Dear Diego Garcia Personnel:

It has been brought to the Captain's attention that some individuals here in our "One Island, One Team" paradise have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their fellow sailors.

Due to complaints received from some of those sailors who may be easily offended, the Captain has asked me to inform the various commands that this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

He does, however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with your fellow squids.

Therefore, a Command-approved list of 18 New and Innovative "TRY SAYING" phrases have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner.

TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training.

TRY SAYING: Perhaps I can work late.
INSTEAD OF: And when the fuck do you expect me to do this?

TRY SAYING: I'm certain that isn't feasible.
INSTEAD OF: No fucking way.

TRY SAYING: Really?
INSTEAD OF: You've got to be shitting me!

TRY SAYING: Perhaps you should check with...
INSTEAD OF: Tell someone who gives a shit.

TRY SAYING: I wasn't involved in the project.
INSTEAD OF: It's not my fucking problem.

TRY SAYING: That's interesting.
INSTEAD OF: What the fuck?

TRY SAYING: I'm not sure this can be implemented.
INSTEAD OF: This shit won't work.

TRY SAYING: I'll try to schedule that.
INSTEAD OF: Why the fuck didn't you tell me sooner?

TRY SAYING: He's not familiar with the issues.
INSTEAD OF: He's got his head up his ass.

TRY SAYING: Excuse me, sir?
INSTEAD OF: Eat shit and die.

TRY SAYING: So you weren't happy with it?
INSTEAD OF: Kiss my ass.

TRY SAYING: I'm a bit overloaded at the moment.
INSTEAD OF: Fuck it, it all counts toward 20.

TRY SAYING: I don't think you understand.
INSTEAD OF: Shove it up your ass.

TRY SAYING: I love a challenge.
INSTEAD OF: This fucking job sucks.

TRY SAYING: You want me to take care of that?
INSTEAD OF: Who the fuck died and made you boss?

TRY SAYING: He's somewhat insensitive.
INSTEAD OF: He's a prick.

Thank You,
The Chaplain's Office

The World's Shortest & Happiest Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, "Will you marry me?"
The girl said, "NO!"
And the guy lived happily ever after,
and went fishing and  hunting,
and played golf a lot, and drank beer,
and had shit loads of money,
and farted whenever he wanted.

THE END

Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

Marriage changes passion.  Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.

I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it.  So I said "Implants?" She hit me.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and over fifty for Miss America?

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Wow...that was fun!"

I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!

When I was young we used to go "skinny dipping," now I just "chunky dunk."

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Wouldn't you know it... Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever.

SURVIVAL INFO FOR NORTHERNERS & OTHER AGGRESSORS!
Fifteen Ways To Avoid A Good Old Southern Ass Whuppin

Issued by the Southern Tourism Bureau to ALL visiting Northerners, Northeasterners, Northwesterners, Westerners and Southwestern Urbanites

1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Waffle House.  It's just a diner.  They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know.  If you confuse them, they'll kick your ass.

2) Don't laugh at our Southern names (Merleen, Luther, Tammy Lynn, Inez, Billy Joe, Sissy, Clovis, etc.) or we will just HAVE to kick your ass.

3) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda down here. Down here it's called Coke. Nobody gives a flying rat's ass whether it's Pepsi, RC, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up or whatever... it's still a Coke.  Accept it.  Doing otherwise can lead to an ass kicking.

4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you (Welty, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hillbillies or we'll kick your ass.

5) We have plenty of business sense - Fred Smith of Fed Ex, Sam Walton, Turner Broadcasting, MTV (when they still played music videos), Netscape (before AOL).  Naturally, we do, sometimes, have small lapses in judgment (John Edwards, Al Gore, Bill Clinton MCI WorldCom). We don't care if you think we are dumb. We are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state in order to run for the Senate. If someone tried to do that, we would kick his/her ass.

6) Don't laugh at our Civil War monuments. If Lee had listened to Longstreet and flanked Meade at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett up the middle, you'd be paying taxes to Richmond instead of Washington. If you visit Stone Mountain and complain about the carving, we'll kick your ass.

7) We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut the hell up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here, or we'll kick your ass.

8) Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will instantly know that you're a Yankee. Eat your biscuits like God intended with gravy. And don't put sugar on your grits, or we'll kick your ass.

9) Don't fake a Southern accent. This will incite a riot, and you will get your ass kicked.

10) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we know better. Many of us have visited Northern hellholes like Detroit, Chicago, and DC, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, Delta is ready when you are. Move your ass on home before it gets kicked.

11) Yes, we know how to speak proper English. We talk this way because we don't want to sound like you. We don't care if you don't understand what we are saying. All other Southerners understand what we are saying, and that's all that matters. Now, go away and leave us alone, or we'll kick your ass.

12) Don't complain that the South is dirty and polluted. None of OUR lakes or rivers have caught fire recently. If you whine about OUR scenic beauty, we'll kick your ass all the way back to Boston Harbor.

13) Don't ridicule our Southern manners. We say sir and ma'am. We hold doors open for others. We offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little gray-haired grandmothers or they'll kick some manners into your ass just like they did ours.

14) So you think we're quaint, or losers, because most of us live in the countryside? That's because we have enough sense to not live in filthy, smelly, crime infested cities like New York, Baltimore or Boston. Make fun of our fresh air, and we'll kick your ass.

15) Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE to come down here and tell us how to cook barbecue. This will get your ass shot (right after it is kicked). You're lucky we let you come down here at all. Criticize our barbecue, and you will go home in a pine box... minus your ass.

A love story......
I will seek and find you.
I shall take you to bed and have my way with you.
I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.
I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.
I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you.
And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.

All my love,
Signed,
The FLU
