Re: Heading South....
 

Alex, thank you much for that public service announcement. As far as I know, though, the quoted pronunciation has evolved to "murr'cun" or "murricun", at least on Tanknet, and most of them are murr'cuns...

Hope that's a help to you.

Just member to take yer passport with ya, and leave home yer AK-47! :D

Re: Re: Heading South....
 

Thanks Jif..
I head to Southern Georgia,so that is a whole different language...

Re: Re: Re: Heading South....
 

In that case, TAKE yer AK, but not in carry-on... :D

Have lots of fun while away Alex, and don't forget to stop now and again for a TH brew and think of us up here freezing in Canada, the Great White Frozen North :D

Karmen

Well, K, it sure ain't freezin' here! Downright warm for this time 'o year. Hardly even need the longjohns.

Alex, y'all take care, drive safe and stay outta trouble, y'hear? An' if'n ya come across roadkill, y'all only scoop it up if'n ya know it's fresh. Otherwise chuck it at the guy blowin' his horn behind you to distract 'im while you get yer AK outta da trunk. :teach:

Gotta be carefull...
 

I haven't seen all that much road kill in Georgia..
The odd deer and 'coon and that's about it...
Must be purt'near shot out...
I'll be in touch and not leaving for a while yet..
Have a good Christmas..
