That’s funny, he reminds me of Lenny from Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.
: points and laughs: 
Bosda, I agree with TPWombat– he had to have seen your out-of-state plates and was funnin’ ya. Right…?
I said MOST!
(are you originally from Georgia? SHEESH!)
TPWombat—not much in the way of a “back room” at this joint.
And, as my LP is on the back of my car, I don’t see how it could have been spotted.
Accent? Clothes? Hairstyle? The car you drove? Any of these could have marked you as “from somewhere else”.
Anybody else reading this suddenly hear Dueling Banjos in their head?
Thank you Bosda !!!
Today I am proud to say: I’m from Mississippi, not Georgia
j/k folks let me enjoy it until Trent goes to talkin’ again
I don’t want to know what road he was on, but info on the chemicals he was ingesting might be interesting, also where he got them, and how much he paid.
Otherwise I’m going with the possibility that he was just /slow/ or mebbie just screwing with you.
I confess that many Southerners do like to make fun of the stereotypes of Southerners. I suspect that your leg was being pulled.
As a resident of Hawkinsville, GA, a town 40 minutes south of Macon, I apologize profusely for the actions of my Southern brethren…
…cause, ya know, we’re all related here.
I moved to a small tourist town in a southern state after graduating from college (I’m a yankee by birth) I used to sit on the porch of my house wearing overalls and playing my guitar. Tourists would actually stop and take my picture becuase I was so rural and authentic. I played jokes like that on them.
Woeg and Skid Row, here’s another Georgian chiming in to apologize for the South Georgia idiots.
I was raised in Vienna, Ga, right on I-75 south of Macon(Woeg, you know where that shithole is, don’t ya?), and let me just say that I couldn’t get out of that place fast enough. I left at age 19 because even then I had enough smarts to know that I didn’t want to wind up in a double-wide in the middle of a cotton field.
Most of the folks in Dooly Co, Ga do nothing but perpetuate every bad stereotype you ever heard about rednecks, retards, and welfare recipients. The only place worse than Vienna was Unadilla, also right on I-75.
You Florida-bound travellers need to just lock your doors and pray you don’t have to stop in either of those places. As a matter-of-fact I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this incident took place in one of these two towns. The twin armpits of the state, for sure.
It’s frightening, I tell ya!
As a resident of South Carolina, one of the phrases I used to hear quite often was “thank goodness for Mississippi!” referencing some poll or statistic on education in which South Carolina placed 49th. After reading this OP, I’m thinking, “thank goodness for Georgia.”
We’ve got plenty of individuals with whom your gas station friends would feel right at home. Cock fight, anyone?
It’s nah wondah 'e didn’t wahnt yo yankee money, vahr’mint. Its got dem purdee designs on ‘em, but t’ain’t nuttin but northerners and carpetbeggahs on ‘em. Well lookee he’ah! Looks like we got usselves anutta one of them yankees! Walkin’ oh so proud, carr’in airs about yahs, and oh! Looks like you’ve been ah’ bathing lately. Weel faaaaaa-nceeeeeee!
:draws shotgun, aims: Get away from mah daughtah!
How did he deal with the new bill?
And I can believe it. One time during a campaign, the office called us to say a lady had called them in a fury because our campaign brochures were unilingual.
I said, “Tell her to turn it over.”
Wow. It’s not very often a veteran like you does something like this, dude. Look at the posting dates.
Is it just me, or are zombies popping up everywhere lately?
Somebody call Romero!
Cocks shotgun and aims for the head
Great, I have to drive this very stretch of road this weekend. But I’ll have a genuine north Florida redneck with me in case I have to interact with the natives.
