Cougars: They're Baaack!

[dmccormack]

It's y'all, Dan!

And those folks in Kentucky may be rednecks, but that "inbred" comment is way out of bounds!

(even IF you said "bless their hearts" at the end of it!)

You are correct, bless your heart...

"Y'all" ONLY refers to more than one -- never a single person.

I've been referred to as "y'all" without anyone else around.

Maybe that's because I'm 1.6 FAA-standard people!

Up here ("Picksburg") it's "yins," a contraction of "You'ns."

Re: Cougers: They're Baaack!

i think I may reconsider some geochaching in the area for the time being. Or at least start to arm myself.

You have nothing to worry about from the cats, you'll be lucky to see them. We used to have one that had our, and two neighboring ranches as it's territory. Every now and then I'd see he up on the rock on the top of our property sunning, beautiful, every now and then see her in the brush as well. We'd lose a couple goats a year, and the neighbors would lose a couple of calves or old cows, not too great a loss, I figure she ate mostly rabbits and other varmints. We all agreed to post our places "No Hunting" so some a--wipe wouldn't shoot her. I always looked around for cubs, but never saw one.

Oh, yeah, things are different up there in Pennsyltucky.

Tisk tisk. You're in Illinois, my friend. In order to remain a violence-free state, you're compelled by law to go unarmed. In turn, the animals (human or nonhuman) will leave you alone out of respect for the law.

The cats will leave you alone because you are not a prey species and they can't afford to get injured.

Yep, right near the portion of southeastern Ohio that my friend who calls it "Pennsyltucky" lives in. You're between Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

My relatives in northwestern PA call it that, too.

That's more the region between Altoona and Carlisle.

Picksburg is it's own world, as any Steeler fan will attest.

I didn't truly understand football until I moved here...

Oh, thought you meant this Cougar.

I actually thought it was this...

Y"all is singular, y'alls plural
