Yeah It's good for 4 or 5 Saturdays a year and maybe a week in the keys every other year.
You too, huh? Wonder Woman also?

Since you have never been to KY, nor will you ever visit KY, I’ll consider all your opinions about KY null and void. I’ve lived in FL half my life and KY the second half. Both have their merits and issues. I’ve enjoyed and disliked both states.
In the words of the great esteemed philosopher, Jimmy Buffett, don’t try to describe the ocean if you’ve never seen it.
To the bold - exactly.
To the rest - all inference on everyone's part in the thread. Not being southern is not a bad thing and I haven't claimed otherwise. I stated a position that most ppl tend to agree on, Florida isn't really southern. Everything following that statement was Floridian insecurities coming out and folks showing their desire to be associated with southern culture along with some thin skin when it comes to the topic.
Truth is unless you grew up in a really small town in very rural Florida, you aren't southern. Nobody that grew up in a Florida urban location is southern, nobody south of Tampa is southern. But go to a traditional southern state and try to apply the same thing - doesn't work. Georgia, bama, sip, Tennessee, Carolina - those places are deep south whether you're in urban areas or not. And the culture is consistent and strong throughout. Just doesn't ring true for Florida and that's fine. We probably have more 1st and 2nd gen northern transplants in this state than we do actual historical Floridians. You can't be 'southern' if the majority of the population is either from or have parents who are from northern states. Sorry everyone, unless you grew up Florida rural and can track at least a few generations back, you really aren't southern.
Don't @ me.
They are as redneck as you can get. There's a distinct difference. Tell me you've never lived in a traditional southern state without telling me...No, LA is the southern part of Florida. Everything geologically south of Ocala, except some of the Keys, are Yankee infested. I grew up in Pensacola. Red Level, Brewton, Florala, Pace and Jay are as southern as you can get.
Welp. I gather Alabama and Texas fit your definition so you are wrong on this assumption. The Florida Panhandle is as southern in outlook as it gets. Not talking about the tourist spots.They are as redneck as you can get. There's a distinct difference. Tell me you've never lived in a traditional southern state without telling me...
You’ve done the “Cleveland Steamer” thing, haven’t you?Listen, I think you’re great. I even asked for a second windbreaker for you. But you live in LA. So I kinda assumed you’d just sit this one out altogether, or you know, maybe start a diversionary topic like “Hey, am I the only one that still likes Mr Pibb?” or something.
I was born in Louisville. And happen to like it.

The fact that you equate bama and Texas in any way, then imply neither of them are southern proves you don't know what you're talking about. Texas is not southern at all. Alabama is. Florida is not. The fact that these things triggers you so, proves my point better than I could. Thanks!Welp. I gather Alabama and Texas fit your definition so you are wrong on this assumption.

Well maybe not today. When I was going to school in LA, we stood for Dixie and had Lee and Jefferson's birthday's as holidays.The fact that you equate bama and Texas in any way, then imply neither of them are southern proves you don't know what you're talking about.

Well, it was nice of y’all to honor them while they were still alive.Well maybe not today. When I was going to school in LA, we stood for Dixie and had Lee and Jefferson's birthday's as holidays.
I'm from the ? and there's plenty of southern, plenty of country, and plenty of redneck to be found in ? but, sadly, there's a growing number of yankees and liberals and useless developers invading the ?.View attachment 69177
I dont agree with some of it…. But still pretty funny and fitting
