When he found that the administrators were upset, he laughed.

"Do they expect students not to be anarchists?" he said. "What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up."

Nothing beats the smell of a basket of fresh butts in the morning <3

[Wool Dryer Butts]

Good for speeding up the time it takes your clothes dry in your dryer, acting as a natural fabric softner, or you could just throw a butt at someone. I'm not your dad. Go nuts, throw butts.

I first tried planting this false blue indigo on March 27. Even though I had looked up planting instructions at least three times since last fall, when I collected the seed pod, I missed that they needed scarification. When I realized my mistake I sifted through my soil and found all 9 seeds, lightly scraped the little kernels of seeds against a flat bastard (heh) and replanted them. It looked like nothing was going to happen and I vowed to just keep the soil in my refrigerator until next year but

ENHANCE

Look at that little guy!!!

Crop report: A few days ago Oldfamilyfriend gave me a set of her seed starting supplies. They are little self watering, heated, tray greenhouses.

My cosmos and bachelor’s buttons sprouted in two days! That’s UNNATURAL but really cool.

MY CROPS

I slowly carried pavers in a drizzly rain. I set out a tarp to gather leaves and sticks and Fafner keeps investigating it. Standing in the middle of it might be what it is for.

I’m not a big fan of using all the pig but the squeal, so I’ve always passed on souse, pickled pigs feet, liver mush, and fatback.

And some of these are the culinary abominations ladies bring to covered dish luncheons or are served at the fellowship hall on Wednesday nights, like canned pear and congealed “salads,” which are just vile.

But the real problem with this test is that the South itself is regional. The list has Creole and Cajun dishes, Low Country specialties, and staples of the Tidewater, Gulf Coast, and Appalachia regions all mixed together. If you were raised in Athens or Rome, Georgia that is, you might not encounter half of these, but you are decidedly “Southern.”

I mean, @serpentinesheldonserpentine lives in New England, but I doubt he drinks coffee milk like they do in Little Rhody (probably best not to get him started on whether po’boys are really subs, hoagies, grinders, or heroes, either).

Even within the South, I doubt @golftangohotel, from whom I lifted this meme, and I would agree on barbecue; as a Memphian, I would presume he likes dry-rub pork ribs, whereas I favor Eastern Carolina pulled pork with cole slaw.

If you wanna know who’s really Southern, ask how they feel about Dolly, Johnny, and Hank and what’s their SEC allegiance.
