Now I've got a question for you;I see from your post that you are from the "eastern pandle of W.V."
What's a pandle?

[threadbare]

Dancin-bare; That's a darned good question. It's been there for over a year, and I never caught it /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
I'm not from the pandle anymore /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I never knew that West Virginia even had a `pan-handle',I've heard about the Texas pan-handle and living in Florida we've got one also.But never heard about W.V.Now I'm curious what other states have a region referred to as a `pan-handle'?

[Trailscout]

Georgia has a little panhandle that pokes into Florida. It follows the path of the Suwannee River.

[David77]

Missouri calls it's pan-handle the "bootheel". It's located at the bottom southeast corner.

Just for kicks;
Stand in front of a mirror and give yourself "the bird" with your thumb oposed and what do you see? West Virginia /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[pahjo2]

oklahoma has a pan handle.
not much there but scrub
grass, cattle @ wheat

[missouriboy]

But just a little east of that panhandle, near Waynoka, is the Little Sahara Recreation Area, a large (several square miles) sand dune area that's a blast for riding 4-wheelers and dirt-bikes. Textile, of course, but a tremendously fun place.

[tarsus]

ohio has a pan-handle also but its a cross road
strange isn't it?
to topic. i get everything on this old smoker[if it were a car you could see a smoke trail for miles] the porn is driving me crazy, about as interesting as cutting apple in half and watching it turn brown. and its impossible to stop.

[Trailscout]

Tarsus,
I don't know what your problem with apples is. I used to like cutting them in half, at least along the equator. Then when you open the apple up, you get a star pattern where the seeds are.
Dip the apple half in some ink and you've got a star stamp you can put on paper, the back of letters, etc. What could be cooler than that?

I get unwanted porn on my computer, but try filtering out your email, if possible to just the email addresses of your friends and business contacts.
If the popups are bothering you, pay the 10 bucks or whatever it costs to buy a popup stopper.
If you are using regular search engines to find nudist sites and keep getting porn sites, try:
Nudist Explorer (http://www.nudistexplorer.com) . It should eliminate most of the porn sites that come up when you do searches.

Trailscout...Very clever with that apple tip...Thanks...ODB /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Snoboy]

In Alaska we have more than one pan handler...hee hee...we have them on nearly every street corner.

Am I the only one that has trouble sending in photos ??Outdoorbare /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Whatever caused the initial problem happened again this morning, still don't know what goin on????

[Chief78CJ7]

Here in Missouri, we don't have a pan handle, but we do have a bootheel section.. it's the most southeastern corner of the state around there I55 leaves Missouri and enters Arkansas. It's also the spot that will be decimated by the New Madrid fault when it slips again..

[Trailscout]

Chief,

You ain't kidding about that earthquake zone. Some friends of mine west of Poplar Bluff keep their cellar stocked up in case things get chaotic: bad water, no natural gas, no electricity, no groceries.

Last time they had an earthquake, the ground opened up and Reelfoot Lake was born when the Mississippi flowed backwards and filled the huge hole in the ground.

Heck, Missouri may not have a bootheel after the next quake does its damage, but on the bright side, y'all would have a huge new lake to fish in! Folks would come from miles around.

[Trailscout]

A tad more than 400 years ago, the "powers that be" made a stupid mistake: they dropped the word,
"Ye" (which used to be second person plural) from the English language. As in: "God rest ye merry gentlemen".

Realizing their mistake, folks set about to create a new word to take its place.

Southerners, being either more astute than other Americans or simply with more time on their hands decided to take "you all" and contract it to "y'all".

Later, our dim-witted (or perhaps simply too busy to think clearly) Yankee counterparts decided to coin the word, "Youse" to achieve the same result, but it also meant second person singular, the same as the word "you" does in more formal speech, so they were no better off for the change.

Not to be outdone, the Appalachian mountain folk just to my north coined the word, "you'uns", a contraction of "you ones". It's a bit awkward, but so typical of the way mountain folk patch things together their own way.

Mark,
That was very interesting. More and more I am growing convinced that the American language was originally derived from British and Scottish English. Although local wisdom has it that the people of Great Britain originally spoke gibberish and learned their broken English from American traders and teachers who arrived on their shores to enlighten these savage islanders and lighten their purses.

(2)Although local wisdom has it that the people of Great Britain originally spoke gibberish and learned their broken English from American traders and teachers who arrived on their shores to enlighten these savage islanders and lighten their purses. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>A couple of points there Trailscout -
(1) There was a PBS series on the English language a few years ago, most of which I missed, but I did see one session where the narrator told us (with illustrations from conversation) that the English spoken on some islands off the Carolinas (I think) was almost identical to the English still spoken in some Gloucestershire villages in England - the point being, both communities are relatively isolated and have kept their accents, but the original settlers on the islands came from those Gloucester villages.

(2) Not true - mostly - I recall in My Fair Lady, Professor Higgins asserts "In America they haven't spoken it (English) for years", and at that time Britain was still exporting emigrants to The New World and other colonies.

There's also the cultural element - do you wonder that the British left north america when their hosts tried to make tea with cold salt water in Boston harbour!

To get us back on topic, I have deduced that the Clothesfree to Bravenet link error is confined to people who reside in states with bootheels or pan handles.

Perhaps Corkey can patch in some javascript to modify the way heels and pan handlers navigate the INA Web site.

Youse guys are trying to make me feel at home, ain't ya?! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Here in the St. Louis metro area, "Youse guys" is considered slang that identifies you from the South St. Louis City side of the area--which I grew up in.. Wow, I guess I'm more cultured than everyone thinks, huh...

Trailscout:
Mississippi flowing backwards.. I was going to include that in my post, but most people don't believe that that could happen. But if you have a huge river whose even more huge tectonic plates move in a major way, the water simply goes 'down hill'. That earthquake was rated at an 8.0 back in the late 1890s I believe. All I know, if we have an 8.0er, I'm telling everyone all my clothes burned up in a fire and will run around naked as long as I can! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Well I'm from Baltimore and that is a very common term there.

Now that I'm in Florida I say Ya'll. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I was born and raised in Michigan amd lived most of my life here, and I say "ya'll". Maybe it has to do with knowing so many southern folk during my life. I really like southern cooking, but not all the things they eat. I've used the word "bloody" for a long time, but then I lived in England for two years. The only thing I miss in England is fish n' chips.
