If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big'ol,' as in ‘big’ol’ truck or big'ol' boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way.
If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there.
In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.

AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biskits.
The road that worries me most will always and only be the one I'm afraid to take because my guard is up so far that I can't see the path.
All roads can be navigated if care is taken to enter the curves gently, gear down on the steep grades and manuever around the potholes. Even if the bridge is out, with a little determination and extra effort (and maybe a slight detour) you can still get where you're going, provided you don't lose sight of the goal...
There are a couple of ways to consistently get up around 114 - 120 m on V-1 and V-2 (the 2nd airplane game) is just as addictive and it's possible to go much further. (V-2 is where I hit my personal best of 155 m.)
And anybody who hasn't played the tic tac toe game that started this thread should go back to the O.P. and give it a try!
If you're a non-christian/atheist, how can you sin? I thought sin was something invented by religious people?
Oh well... My cheeks are turned toward the early 19th century this morning. Don't reckon I'll find too many hypocrites of any kind in the woods. (Ya'll just go ahead and fight amongst yourselves 'til I get back.)
I'll recommend a bottle of Muscadine Wine to go with a savory pork tenderloin that's been marinated in Draft Cider w/rosemary and garlic and roasted to perfection over mesquite coals in a smoker grill.
And here all this time I was thinking that folks were talking about cloth!
I coulda' swore I heard someone say just the other day that he likes muslin...
Well crap, he ain't gettin' my vote if he don't like muslin! I've got a hunter's frock made of muslin and I love it! Naw, I ain't votin' fer anybody that don't like my coat!
Speaking of facts - You're a gun owner, aren't you Ras?
I'll bet you a box of .357 mags that the only thing that will "change" during the Obama regime will be the loss of more individual rights.

RE: Please.......
I've said it before and I'll say it again:I'll keep my freedom, my guns and my money - You can keep THE CHANGE.
