You want to take and get yourself some

Many years ago old Kadizzle read the book MASTER AND COMMANDER.  The book was written in the old English style. Kadizzle did not realize it, but he was going about speaking in old English. Now, in the year 2015 Kadizzle has two of his hunting buddies from North Carolina visiting and hunting.  Of course they speak with a deep southern accent.  The Commander chided Kadizzle this morning for picking up the accent.  Southerners say things differently.  Jim says he had to "cut on the lights" or "Cut the lights off".   If a southerner wants to give you instructions on how to clean something the instructions will always start "You'll wanna take and get yourself some soap to clean..."  Just about every story involves "This ol boy".  This ol boy had him a big sack of potatoes.  Jim makes his living selling suits, and he had a high end clothing store at one time to sell such things, so you would never suspect how he appeared off the the plane in Bismarck. Jim showed up in a heavy pair of canvass overalls with a lumberjack  shirt, and hunting boots on.  Of course Jim gave them fits going through the metal detector with all the buttons and clips on the overalls.

Not many mornings do we have gritts for breakfast, but I am sure before they leave there will be a good breakfast of ham, eggs, bacon, and gritts.
