h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, we do get it all the time. Lazy thinkers.
Of course, I don't like being accused of being a Yankee, either.

Eek!

LOOK AT A FREAKIN MAP!.. its big as day.. anyways.. thats all i had to say.. southerners arent that "hillbilly" like

Right.
I live in Temple and I used to live in Georgetown and Austin.

I used to work in a Hardware store in Belton.

Nobody speaks like a hillbilly.

a redneck, fer sure!
Or, as my wife, who was born and raised in Houston and used to work in the Valley, says," No hillbillies. Cajuns, Czechs, Poles, Bohunks, Latvians, Serbs, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Laotian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Persian, Peruvian, Mexican and Armenians, all talking like true Texans.

So, I apologise for generalizing.
