Chelsea Clinton shares a moment with her father.

It looks as if she is getting ready to slip him the tongue. But then again, they are from Arkansas.

I know his sister, but I get to meet the parents. Both sets.

The thing that really makes me nervous is the whole cultural difference. He says is mother is a "very typical southern woman". Aside from being high maintainance about my clothes , my personality is far from "southern".

/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif The first time I had sweet tea I almost gagged. I think it must be an acquired taste. In reverse a few of my old clients from the south would order tea up north. The poor people puckered up like they just ate raw rubarb.

There is one advantage I do have on her. She can't be too stuffy. She has been married FOUR times!

My one friend's parents come from the south so they always make sweet tea. I always forget it's super sweet and gag everytime it touches my lips. The funny thing is my friend is diabetic. That tea could probably balance his blood sugar for a year with one drop.

Good ol Southern Sweet Tea is great. It is the only sweetened tea I will drink. Any other time I have tea it has to be unsweetened.

Disgusting? DISGUSTING?!!!! WHAT?!!!!!

Okay, if that is your opinion of it.

If I go out to eat, I normally have unsweetened iced tea instead of soda. When at home, I will normally drink hot green tea.

I do like English hot tea. Had quite a bit of it during my 2 years over there. But I can't live w/o my good ol' iced tea. And sweet tea, yes, an acquired taste, but still the best stuff on Earth, after beer, of course. /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

It's tea, except cold. Earl Grey or Black Russion is probably my favorite tea. There is this tea from Long Island that I really like, although I can't remember the name right offhand.

I like my tea super sweet. I want to almost be able to feel the individual sugar crystals going down my throat. There is no way to "sweeten" any iced tea enough after it's been chilled, the sugar must be added right after the tea bags have been removed. I'm always dissappointed when i go to a resterant and order Sweet Tea and all they have is Un-sweetened. North of the Mason-Dixon Line i can accept it, but it's inexcusable down here.

Oolong tea is good with or without sugar. But any other kind, I agree that it taste better with lots of sugar... and half n half. Unless it's a citrus flavored kind, then skip the cream, because then it just curdles in the tea and looks nasty.

Or maybe we could figure out a way to convert crocodiles and kangaroos into pure energy ? Or just cross breed them, so we can have amphibious mammals that hop 35 mph and swim deftly underwater.

Or if we really wanted to do something crazy we could try to figure out how to make money off of Yahoo Serious.

towelie99

Most of the oil in the region is to the north, in the Papua New Guinea area.

Which means we'll need to invade Australia simply to set up a staging area for the oil rich areas to the north. Then we can make them drive on the right side of the road.

My cousins from Texas were trying to get us into it - they kept telling us to add sugar. I ended up having a glass of sugar with a bit of tea! it was soooooo gross. I thought it might have been their payback for me making them try vegemite!

Real Ice Tea is a process. Prolly the best example of how Sweet Ice tea should taste, is Chick-Fil-A. They use a bit too much sugar but its close. Real sweet tea is not all that sweet. Just sweet enough. You have to come down here and enjoy real tea. Up there its CRAP!!!

10 reasons why a handgun is better than a women.

#10 - You can trade an old .44 for two new .22s.

#9 - You can keep one handgun at home and have another for
when you're on the road.

#8 - If you admire a friend's handgun, and tell him so, he
will probably let you try it out a few times.

#7 - Your primary handgun doesn't mind if you have a
backup.

#6 - Your handgun will stay with you even if you're out of
ammo.

#5 - A handgun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.

#4 - Handguns function normally every day of the month.

#3 - A handgun doesn't ask "Do these new grips make me look
fat?"

#2 - A handgun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you
use it.

AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY THAT A HANDGUN IS BETTER THAN A
WOMAN . . . You can buy a silencer for a handgun.
