Any Members From Ct Or Ar?

[Raider Nation Fisher]

Until I get my license for ND it is being put on the back burner. I'm decuding between a shutdown in Ct. and a long term shutdown in Arkansas. Arkansas is in tge South so im pretty well aware of what to expect. Ct. is another animal entirely. I know nothing about New England during the winter. Any of yall Yankees help me out on this?

[deaknh03]

Whatever you experience in Alabama in the winter, take that and think the opposite, plus some power outages and fools skidding all over the road. That's New England.

[deaknh03]

and no fishing unless you use an auger.

HOLY CRAP! That looks EXACTLY like me when I had hair! I'm not sure that it isn't me!

[CayMar]

I assumed that was actually you in the picture.

Funny thing is I remember a picture you posted here a couple of months ago, and when I saw that pic I thought it looked eerily similar to you, and I stress the word eerie. 

[Raider Nation Fisher]

I am quite eerie.

So what's the deal with grits up north? Will I still be able to aquire them or will I be stuck eating (blech) oatmeal?

Also as I would be working 7 10s, are the women up there decent looking or do they all look like Snooki? My wife told me to ask that.

[CayMar]

Have you ever left The Ham?

Where in Arkansas?

You can buy grits in most any supermarket. They will be next to the oatmeal. You should be able to find the quick grits or the regular. Up here, they use corn meal for making johnny cakes. Something like grits cooked into the shape of a pancake.

What you can find up here that you cannot find down south is coffee syrup for making coffee milk.

where in Arkansas?

 

Steel mill or nuke plant? (just guessing here)

No idea yet. I believe they said a chemical plant. Its a 2 year job working 9months on with 3 months off. Would be working 5 10s for the first 7 months then up to 7 12s for the last two months. I'm going to call about the location tomorrow.

Have you ever left The Ham?

I tend to hang out around various places in the state. Central and north Alabama mostly. Never really ventured past southern North Carolina in the past 30 years. Went to DC for a week during the summer when I was 17. Went to Flint and Flushing Michigan for two weeks when I was 3. Other than that I've strictly stayed in the Deep South. Never had much of a reason until now to explore the rest of the country. With the exception of North Carolina 3 times.

The Ham ain't too bad. I stay in the suburbs so I don't have to deal with the filthy city too much. Aside fron working in the steel mills and other structures there. I tend to avoid it now. Heavens knows I tagged almost every building and train car in that place when I was a teenager.

I like it down here. Everyone is friendly. The government tends to leave us be, in our own little redneck wonderland. Food is good. Can fish year round. Hell you live here you know what I mean.

Plus them Yankees are just strange. I have no problem taking their money and sending it back down here though.

[Raider Nation Fisher]

I've decided I might as well exploit yall Yankees some if I make it up there. I got to take a test for some kind of license before I go.

I'm gonna make a flick in my spare time, while I take up residency there. Gonna call it "Yale Girls Gone Southern"! The tag line will be, "Brain meets Brawn"!

Just watch out for northwest, lot of weirdos out there, I mean really weird. Like parked on the side of a dirt road standing next to their car staring into the sky waiting for a spaceship to pick them up weird. I've seen it.

I hear you brother. Ain't no place like Dixie. I spent a couple weeks in Birmingham while my nephew was in the Ronald McDonald house. I dont know Birmingham but it felt like I wasn't in the best part of town. Lol. I haven't traveled any more than you. I've only left the south twice and both times were to see family in Missouri. I have traveled as far west as San Antonio but I wouldn't care to go back.

Naw that was in the "good" part of Birmingham. The North side has gotten better as long as you stay inside the area with the big buildings. Once you venture out of the main city you will most likely be mugged or shot at night time. Unless you head East then you w ill just get stared at. It gets bad to the West. Head South and that's where all the prosperous suberbs are. At least once you cross Red Mountain and get into Homewood (new money) or Mountain Brook (extremely old money and estates and mansions.

I thought the only tests you guys had in Alabama was:

"Would you like fries with that?"

[bigbill]

If you come to Ct we need to do some fishing. I'm not a Yankee. My people were smashing grapes and building boats in the old country when all that bad stuff went down in the 1860's. Yankees heck were in red Sox nation. I'm an American.
