Nah we're never rude, they're all compliments.

Well bless your heart, I would never have the courage to wear something like that in public like you do.

I've found DC to be the rudest bunch of people I've ever met. Everywhere I've gone in DC the people are just totally rude assholes. Everywhere I've been in the south has just been nice, polite, helpful people.

Southern Hospitality, as long as you don't get to know them, and you're not black

I’m literally talking about hospitality, as in the actions in the home, that others would call the hospitality industry.

I mean when you arrive they’ll offer you some tea and the furniture will look a certain way, and they’re likely to have a tray they carry those glasses on, and it’s already made, and there’s a whole set of food you traditionally entertain with, etc.

That whole set of behaviors is what I’m calling southern hospitality. Nothing beyond that.

Louisiana and especially New Orleans are really their own thing. They just caucus with the South.

I was thinking specifically of an apple cobbler recipe I once did that had me dotting the whole pan with butter after the end, which I thought was a French technique. Turns out cobbler’s got English origins not French.

Yeah, most of the real hippies moved towards the rockies a few decades ago
