Ladies love Yankee boys

[Wicked Papist]

Well this thread got trolled and derailed pretty quickly.

Stay classy, SD.

You are the one who listed a Yankee's greatest quality is that we don't pee in parking lots. 

We have other amazing qualities, too.

The men are manlier.
We don't wear ridiculous hats.
Sitting on cows is not a sport that we would watch or participate in.
We don't eat "grits" because it is not food for people.

We have excellent museums.
We control the money market whether anyone likes it or not
Philly cheese steaks
Gorgeous catholic ethnic churches
Great colonial living museums

We won the Civil War.
See below.

We're not still fighting the Civil War.
If Southerners are still fighting then technically we haven't won anything.

We didn't need our butts kicked to get rid of slavery.
No we've just replaced it with a different form of slavery.

We don't urinate in the parking lot.
Clearly you've never been to an NFL game.

We actually produce music worth listening to.
This is what's referred to as "The New Country" and is a curse on us all. It's nothing but a bunch of hacks who aren't good enough to make it
in Pop or R+B so they stick a cowboy hat on them and call it country. You would never hear this sort of drivel from the likes of Cash, Haggart
or Cline.

Well, i like cowboy hats, but I will agree with you on grits.

Northern food is just so much better and diverse.

I can't take anyone in a cowboy hat seriously.

What if you call the grits "polenta?"

oooooooooooo, that was good. I know polenta is a fancy food (thanks Master Chef), but I am not sure if they are the same.

Grits is ground hominy.

Grits is still gross.

What if you call the grits "polenta?"

Grits is ground hominy.

And what is hominy made from? Corn, from which the germ and inner hull have been removed.

At least up here no one's going to give you an attitude if you politely decline having polenta with your breakfast.

"Y'all ain't gonna have no grits?  What kind o' stuck up Yankee carpetbaggin' elitists are y'all?"

You think that's bad?

I hate, hate, hate sweet tea. It is soooooooo disgusting. So when I lived in the south and would order unsweetened iced tea, people could just not comprehend this, at all.

Here the waiters at all of the restaurants I've been to always ask: "sweet or unsweet?" when someone orders iced tea, which I get a huge kick out of.  I always say "sweet tea" instead of "iced tea," when I'm ordering for myself, though, since it's right to the point.
