I think the accents are more of an inland thing... Nevermind, some of my in-laws are from the Georgia/Alabama area, and they don't really have much of an accent either. I think that's strictly for the boonies and ignorants. Maybe mid-west and deep, deep south like Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Kentucky? This woman's proximity remains much to close to Virginia and its fading "accent" not to mention all the transplanted "Yanks" living in the region.
On the note of honeysuckle growing wild on the road and magnolia trees, WHAT? I think the spanish moss is cool and all, but how about the basketball and cultural heart of the world? She must have been smoking the same thing as the North Carolina troops who shot their own generals during the civil war ... All know their names--Stonewall Jackson and James Longstreet among others (Lee's two most important corps commanders). Lee fought one hell of a campaign, and North Carolina may have upended the guys work ... not that their behavior was for the worse. My aunt, who's bat- crazy lives in Greensboro too. She likes to hang out with all those who have what they call "soil"... Last time I checked, the soil in the Northeast and Midwest has always served farmers better than this Southern dream.
In regards to this whole Southerners are a kind and gentle folk ... the culture is one of leisure, and many would rather leisurely tell their friends if something is wrong than address the actual issue ... Hence the reason a school with a relatively modern tradition like V Tech was able to sneak its way in and only with the help of its frat brother Virginia ... Virginia's governor that is ... While cute in rhetoric, and charmingly ignorant, that argument doesn't cut it on a business level. The northeast is so good at business, the leadership even knew when to move it to better labor markets, including this lady's area as well, leaving many New York residents without jobs -- not that they complained when there's always hand-outs.
Enough with this senseless banner. I love Jim Boeheim, and this lady's a b****
