You see monsters, I see a target rich environment.

Lol, that's just as realistic as hell-fire missiles and 120mm APFSDS bouncing off like in the movies.

A copy of that comic customized for two notable locals has been hanging at Darrell's Custom Firearms in Cayuga for at least 10, probably closer to 20 years.

I've lived 1/4 of my life in southern states. I've never heard any of them say "that there", or "that thar".

I hear it at least once a week from a good ol Kentucky boy. He dropped out of school in the eight grade. We attend the same church and he is a hoot to listen to.

I've heard it all my life, and likely say it often enough. Maybe Hoosier thing?

Yep. I lived in Winston Salem for a couple of years. I can relate.

Missippi has an interesting dialect. They’ll flip words like “however” and say “everhow”. So I might ask how should I do that, and they’d reply everhow yawnto. I never heard that in the other areas I’ve lived.

When i was a kid, working in that mom and pop grocery store/bait shop/hardware store and Yankees would come down and stop by to get a pop, I'd send them back to the candy aisle... if they asked for a soda, I'd direct them back to the baking goods.

Man, they are hard to understand with their weird accents.

I learned to ask where the cokes are.

Yes. I might coulda heard that a time or two.
