I had a friend who married a girl from up north, and when he went to Thanksgiving dinner with her family, his mother-in-law offered him "Pee Can Pie." He said he would love a slice of pecan pie. They made fun of his pronunciation, and he looked the mother-in-law in the face and said, "Do you grow them here? No? It's 'puh-CAHN.'"
Then he explained that a pee can is what you keep under your bed so you don't have to go to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
Professionals will listen to recordings of their own voice to remove regional accents.
I got rid of my Southern accent when I was working in film and TV, because there is a lot of anti-Southern prejudice in that industry. I put it back somewhat when I got out and went home, and realized that Alabama really is superior to all other regions of the US.
When my dad would work with yankees, he turned the drawl up to 11. They assumed he was literally retarded and would say things in front of him that they never should have. He always thought that was funny.
Southern Whites have IQs above average. Southern negroes bring the average down. It's the same with quality of schooling. Most yankees are not smart enough to understand that and assume that a low average IQ/low average school score in the South equates to everyone being stupid and uneducated, and not just that there are segregated nigger schools full of 75 IQ monkeys that massively skew the average.
People travel from all over the country to attend the Rickwood Classic. Rickwood Field is the oldest professional ballpark in the US, and they play one game a year there to maintain its status as "professional." They restored it to its pre-electronic era scoreboard and put vintage ads on the outfield wall.
In 1931, The Houston Buffaloes played the Birmingham Barons in the Dixie Series Championship. Dizzy Dean, who was pitching for Houston, very brashly guaranteed a win. The Barons won. My grandfather was at that game, and afterwards he went and got a ladder off of his work truck and used it to climb up to the small barred window of the visiting team's locker room, just so he could heckle Dizzy Dean. Dean was drinking a Coke, and hurled it at my granddad's face. It exploded into shards on the bars of the window.
You can rent the park for a couple hundred bucks and play a game of baseball in it. If I could find seventeen other guys to go in on it with me, I'd do it. Many of the greats played games there, so you'd be running bases where Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio ran bases.
I always thought it was mostly a vanity thing. The boomer women thought that making milk meant ending up with fried egg on a nail boobs at some point, and they wanted young perky boobs forever.
I never could figure out why the boomer feminists burned their bras. Like they thought the bra was akin to a man putting a leash on them. Men primarily think about getting bras off of women, not putting them on.
Ok you know what I'm not a flat earther and I absolutely believe we went to the moon, but believing that babies come from sex really is kind of hard to believe when you stop and think about it.
It starts out with two cells and nine months later it's increased by 1,300,000,000,000% and it's a person? Yeah right. Oh and the sperm have a swimming race to get there first and all the losers just die.
I wonder if it's the same book I have. I met a guy who was in charge of welding the two piece plate steel floors of Pullman Standard boxcars together so that they shrunk to exactly the correct size. I asked him to teach me how to stick weld, and he dropped this fuckin book on me and said, "memorize this, then I'll teach you." Then he died of old age.
Nitrogen hypoxia used to be used in animal shelters and was considered painless, but now there is apparently a push to ban it. It looks to me like they are switching courses and trying to make it look bad because they don't want it used for human executions.
Interestingly, the reason that the electric chair was invented was because Thomas Edison was trying to convince everyone that AC power (which was invented by Tesla and being championed by Westinghouse) was inherently more dangerous than DC (his method), so he arranged a demonstration in which an elephant was quickly killed by AC electrocution. The government people in attendance immediately wanted to develop it as an execution method to replace the "barbaric" hanging. Edison tried to convince everyone to refer to being electrocuted as being "Westinghoused." It didn't take.
