Or, paraphrasing the Indigo Girls, “When God made me born a Yankee, She was teasin’”…
On second thought, that’s not a paraphrase, a deliberate mis-quote.
So this is a big inside-mod joke or am I just posting while blind?

Last I heard, Dixie was “way down south,” and for some reason it was looking away.
Yahh, when we was invading the north we had to “look away” down south to remember our honies. Damn wankees.
I don’t know about you, but my dixie wrecked.

I personally think it’s a shame that there aren’t more conservatives online calling themselves “Becky” and “Twinkle.” Alas, poor Twinkle.
Come to think of it, wasn’t “Twinkle” William F. Buckley’s nickname during his Army years? Or perhaps I am thinking of someone else.
I would totally date a conservative named “Becky.” She just sounds like she’d look incredibly hot in a gingham summer dress.
Dixie’s fine, by the way. She’s still safely tucked away in my mom’s cedar chest. I had no idea she was also a well-known conservative; but then there’s a lot I don’t know about the contents of that cedar chest.
Isn’t Sampiro duty-bound to make an appearance in this thread?
Close, Bill F. Buckley was lovingly refered to as Twinkle-toes. Minor difference though.
The OP is obviously a reincarnation of Al Jolson.

No, that is most definitely not the question, but rather the answer.
Wherever she was, there was [del]Eden[/del] Dixie.
Irrelevant, but an interesting trivia question nonetheless that I haven’t had an occasion to ask anyone: What was the shared occupation of [Charles] Mason and [Jeremiah] Dixon of Mason-Dixon Line fame? (Hint: their main interest/occupation had almost nothing to do with surveying or cartography.)
They were English astronomers and seismologists who took the job for Calvert & Penn to make money when their research funds ran out.
And R O C co-cola.
The term “Dixie” doesn’t have anything to do with the Mason-Dixon guy Dixon though does it? Because that would seem to imply that he spent most of his time on that job standing south of Mason, for some reason.
Also, if that were true, then the North would naturally be referred to as “Macy,” and I have never heard of such a thing.
Macy’s where I want to be!
Golly gee! Golly gee!
Get me out of Tennessee
and take me back to Macy!
–from “([Take Me Home to] My) Sweet Macyland Home” by Bizarro Stephen Foster
It’s actually unknown where the term comes from, though the two most likely theories are Mason-Dixon line and the Louisiana Dix Notes.
Did he even tell us which other board he was talking about? Kind of hard to have a board war if you don’t know where the battlefield is.
What if they gave a board war and nobody came?
We’re left whistling Dixie in the dark…
This made absolutely no sense until I went back and re-read “(Charles) Manson” the right way. My guess before reading the spolier was “song writer? jailbird? I don’t know”.
Yeah, if you don’t get that booster every seven years you get the urge to sell your pickup truck, marry a homosexual, and toss your gun in a landfill.

Damn. I thought it had to do with those cute paper cups.
Don’t you mean, move to Canada?
