It’s a cultural thing, **trader**. What we’re used to down our way ain’t what these folks here are used to. That’s what th’ Pit’s for.

I do believe the question in the OP has been answered sufficiently. The rest is pure nonsense, and certainly not GQ material.

**fauxpas** and **trader\_of\_shots** : a warning to you both. Language as the two of you seem to employ here is suitable for the BBQ Pit only. You might also be interested in hearing the staff is already discussing your posting privileges.
