After the third time proclaim " This area is now free of all good-for nothing gnomes"<BR/> 2. Put on a scarf and hat and grab a shovel and start shoveling your driveway. When ask what you are doing tell them that you are just practicing in case you move back north again.<BR/> and finally 3. talk with the tickest Boston accent possible. When they say words like car....look perplex and ask for an explanation. When they describe it say "oh you mean caah"....or something along those veins.CARmelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276892057287821202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11205826.post-1134634472175664622005-12-15T03:14:00.000-05:002005-12-15T03:14:00.000-05:00So is it a Northern thing for you to "scramble aro...So is it a Northern thing for you to "scramble around in a frenzy" and a Southern thing for your neighbors to be "so graciously in y'all's business," bless their hearts?Loreohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15262185702248035079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11205826.post-1134614128739043052005-12-14T21:35:00.000-05:002005-12-14T21:35:00.000-05:00Yes, Penny and I will be the stars of the show.
