If you need me I'll be in Louisiana eating shrimp "sam-whiches" and getting in touch with my roots.
I'm not from there or anything I just like pretending. Really my roots are from the Mid-West, but that's not as exciting as saying my roots are in the South. Just like many people say they are Irish when most likely they are Scottish. People think it's just more glamorous to say they are Irish. Have they never heard of "Irish need not apply"? The same was true for the early Mid-Westerners who ventured out to California.
"Those speaking NorDak not welcome."
No one knows the plight of the Mid-Westener, good thing I'm from the South, don't cha know Ya'll.
