How are they doing down in red state world? Dealing with it, or lynch mob mentality?
DD sporting a mullet? Sounds right.
That's how you blend in the deep South. Tell them teechur is your sister, toss the tooth brush, promise more lynchings, run for Mayor, make a difference.
No, but really the South is beautiful. In an ass backwards kind of way. If you're the right color.

DonDiego thanks Number51 for the compliment on his vest.
teechur and DonDiego found the folks all over the Deep South, and especially in N'awlins, to be most hospitable.
Everyone from the first fellow we encountered outside the hotel, who recognized teechur and DonDiego were unfamiliar with the parking situation as they arrived and immediately assisted them in getting the car unloaded and parked at the appropriate facility, to everyone else, . . . and DonDiego means everyone, . . . at their lodgings. Every clerk, every maid, every employee they encountered had a hearty "hello" and provided assistance with a friendly attitude. Heckfire, as they were checking in the manager offered an upgrade to a corner suite.
At the SuperDome teechur and DonDiego found themselves chatting with bunches of folks, . . . on the way in, at their seats, over a beer before the game started, and as they were leaving, . . . everywhere. Lots and lots of folks thanked them for visiting their city, . . . and expressed sadness that DonDiego's team had lost and joy that their team had won simultaneously.
teechur and DonDiego encountered no one who was unpleasant with one exception, the loudmouth a few seats back at the game who took extreme exception to Michael Vick's earlier canine transgressions and insisted on yellling about them throughout the contest.
The wenches who served DonDiego his beers were quick to offer descriptions and opinions of the various brews and discuss their favorites. Even servers not assigned to them came over to discuss which of the brews in the 6-beer-sampler served at Gordon Biersch they preferred and inquire into DonDiego's favorites.
Politics didn't enter into any conversations until Thursday morning, two days after the election, during breakfast at a Sleep Inn somewhere in Alabama. A gentleman seated nearby inquired of DonDiego how his man had fared in the election. DonDiego replied that his man had come in second. The fellow responded that so had his. A few seconds later the discussion switched to his observation that, based upon what he'd seen in the Alabama/LSU game over the weekend, he figured his LSU Tigers were gonna dominate the SEC for the next 4 years, . . . 'cause they had a great coach and excellent young players.
DonDiego is sorry that Number51 has such a negative opinion of folks down South. Everyone whom DonDiego encountered, of various colors and shades, seemed most affable.
Perhaps a parable is in order:
Parable 72 from the Book of DonDiego
There once was an elderly gentleman who lived on the edge of a town where he'd spent his entire life. He'd set up on his porch and watch the cars go by. And every once in a while somebody'd stop to chat.
One time a young man and woman got outta their car and he invited them onto his porch. They explained they were interested in relocating and asked the old man: "What are the people like here?"
Well, . . . he thought a while and asked back: "What are the folks like back where y'all come from?"
And when they responded they were warm, pretty friendly and pleasant, the old fella said "Yep. people are just like that here too."
Another time a young man and woman got outta their car and he invited them onto his porch. They explained they were interested in relocating and asked the old man: "What are the people like here?"
Well, . . . he thought a while and asked back: "What are the folks like back where y'all come from?"
And when they responded they were cold, standoffish and unfriendly, the old fella said "Yep. people are just like that here too."
