It is more like do you call it kleenex or facial tissue, Jell-O or gelatin dessert, Q-tips or cotton swabs, ChapStick or lip balm.

I've heard this as well. My dad managed a paper plant in Fort Worth and he said the guys down there loves Midwesterns and Mexicans for their work ethics. Maybe I should start bombing my resume on monster.com with flashing text over my current address in Iowa. I'm sure to get that cushy corporate gig, right?

Add in some really cheesy dance music and you'll probably be offered CEO positions.

Northern breakfasts do not contain grits. This is why Northern breakfast sucks.

Northern style is outplaying a more talented opponent.

We got hosed...

Had grits in Chattanooga last spring. Did not like. Very disappointing, considering I like oatmeal. Scottish breakfast, ftw.

They sure are hospitable though.

I had a cute waitress in the hills of Tennessee at a Cracker Barrel and she bet me a kiss I couldn't finish the big breakfast platter - love the hospitality

jokes on her I could eat breakfast all day long

Not sure about a Northern style.

I know there's a Gangnam style, but that's different.

This thread delivers.

**cougarcy** · 12-28-2012, 12:48 PM

Page 4 was the first gangnam style reference? Would have taken the under on that one

Calling a Mountain Dew a Coke is like calling a handkerchief a Kleenex.

Grits are the pits.

^^ Look at his eyes. He is not even looking at the ball or the goal line. His job is the goal line...side judge is responsible for watching out of bounds. Still ticks me off to this day.
