No! I love sweet tea, and cornbread stuffing is way better than that mess yall put in it. Plus, Yankees can't cook a turkey worth shit. Baked turkey? *shudders* Ick.
Among the other culinary wonders of the south are fried chicken, cornbread, chicken bog, and biscuits. My great grandma makes the world's best fried chicken and biscuits.

Don't lie! Cornbread stuffing is okay, but it's not as good as "yankee stuffing". I've almost never had turkey I liked, either up north or down south. And I don't know if that's a yankee thing, because I've seen plenty of baked turkeys down here and deep fried turkeys up north.

All that other stuff we eat up north, just not as much of it. Except for chicken bog, what the heck is that? I've been down here about 7-8 years and still haven't heard of it.

I'd better hurry up and change my avatar to a picture of a turkey so we can pretend this is still on-topic.

haha this is the username topic so you're out of luck.
and you've never been to a bog-off? *shakes her head* You ain't never been in the South, then.

Looking it up I find that only my hometown has a bog-off. Weirrrd.

I start liking this "cultural thread"

My username is part of my grandfather's second surname.
When I was at Secundary School I wanted to change mine for this one, but finally I didnt. One of my friends change her name and I decide it's so much work...

[RedQueen.exe]

but it is perhaps found most often in the Pee Dee and Lowcountry regions of South Carolina

That's really weird now. I'm in the Lowcountry. Though I've only been here for 5 years, the rest of my "southern era" were spent in GA. I've probably eaten at places that serve it on the menu and just never noticed it! Maybe if it had a better name...

Anything that combines chicken or turkey with a more flavorful meat is alright in my book. I'm going to have to find some of this now or *gasp* cook it myself.

haha this is the username topic so you're out of luck.

Oh... in that case, you didn't hear about the horrible accident I had with a leaky turkey fryer?

I was hoping it was astronomically related. You have let me down! Although that is an awesome surname.

[Vega]

Astronomicaly related? What?

Oscar. Mike. Golf.

You're breaking my heart, Vega. Seriously, I'm hurt. I'm not sure if I can get over this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega

Vega has been extensively studied by astronomers, leading it to be termed "arguably the next most important star in the sky after the Sun.

To be fair, my younger brother majored in astronomy.

[Piscator]

It's the place vegans come from.

Oooooh. sorry sorry sorry sorry, didn't want it...
Knowing where Beetlejuice is or Merak or Aldebaran can fix anything?

[Theda]

My nickname is an anagram of death and I feel great admiration for Theda Bara. And for the Terry Pratchett's books (Discworld), where The Death is a great character.

[Mykey]

My name is Michael and since I was a child, I`ve always went by Mikey. When I finally got a PC at the tender age of 18, I was watching a cheech and chong movie (while I was teaching myself how to operate it) (nice dreams) during a scene it just all clicked for me, and I was tripping.... Nice dreams clip They seemed to keep going on about a key, and my forum/e mail name was born... MykeyLSD..... Eventually I dropped the LSD(pun realized and intended) and it became a slightly less common alternate spelling of the name I have always gone by.

Now if I could just stop signing my name that way on legal paperwork...

[Comy]

My username came from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover novels and frustration. I signed up for Runescape when I was 15 and was having a ridiculous amount of trouble coming up with a username that didn't include numbers and wasn't taken. Finally landed on comynara, the world for the female nobility on Darkover. Eventually, people started calling me that, got lazy and shortened it to Comy and now I respond to that more readily than my given name.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

I used to have some best friends in high school... and I used to tease them that I'd become a hermit someday and cut off my associations with real people. All the while they would protest that I would someday live in a house with a white picket fence, a dog, a cat and 2.5 kids. So I used this nickname for an email to continue the joke and when I signed up here, it seemed a natural thing to use.

Since then, because of Cantr IRC and some ancient players from it, the name has morphed a bit from the_antisocial_hermit to a simpler (it -was- kinda long for IRC), Hermitess or Hermi, which I use more often in new endeavors.

[gejyspa]

So.... who was right, t_a-s_h?

[the_antisocial_hermit]

Me.

At least thus far.

[RedQueen.exe]

Apparently some preferred my old name. I are sad now.
