Haven't been there but it sure sounds like it. Up in Albany (i'm pretty sure it was Albany) their town hall was practically a trailer. That was also the only building that could be found in the entire town anyway.

New here so....

I hate the way most people (usually out of towners) mispronounce Waxahachie. It drives me nuts!!! It's pronounced WOCKS-a-hat-chee... can't people understand that? You know what they say though: You can always tell a Yankee, but you can't tell 'em much. lol
-
Yup, I know all about it. A friend of mine from college went to law school and then got a job at a Dallas firm, where he met a Waxahachie girl (she was a cheerleader before she was a law clerk). Now he has his own office in Dallas, and they and their kids live in the super-conductin' super-collidin' town of Waxahachie.

It's because we already have to remember the pronounciations of our own damn words.
-
Does anyone know how to pronounce "Peabody", the town (that floods a lot) on the North Shore of Boston?
It's peeee-BID-ee.
When I lived there I had to be bilingual, pronouncing it the way whoever I was speaking to expected it.

You open up the hachie to cool things down. Then you get your iced tea glass refilled.

It's really embaressing to hold a conversation with an out of towner... you have to pay close attention to your grammar and try not to use the local slang lolHere's an example of what I mean by local 'talk.' Jamie's youngins were wrasslin' out side and one of 'em busted his lip You've got to love it lolVery rarely do I talk like that, but when I'm riled up you better believe the southern side comes out! I have to admit though, Texans have some of the funniest saying like "Well don't that beat bugs a wrasslin!" (something my mum says all of the time) and the one I hate the most is "Boy, I tell you what!" because that's something people usually end a conversation with which leaves you wondering "What?!?"
-
I'm fixin' to tell ya, friend's wife goes into Texas-talk mode when she's tired or upset.When I rented a car at DFW, they gave me a Toyota. I didn't realize that they stuck the dumb "yankee" with the only Japanese car in Texas until I started driving toward Waxahachie. I was the odd man out.

Don't forget Kancamagus (kanga-mang-is), Amoskeag (am-ah-skeg), Massabesic (massa-bee-sic), Piscataquog, coos (co-aw-sss), Winnepesaukee, saco, pemigewasset. So on...
-
Ha, no flatlander knows how to say "Kancamagus Highway".
-
It's a "What the hell is that thang?"
-
I never said Texas was normal lol I swear people should have to have passports to vist some areas around here!
-
Sweetie, if you only knew!
-
I bet you got that massachusetts accent down pat by now too, huh?
-
I I rarely watch the boob tube, I'd much rather read.

I lived near Massabesic Lake.Merrimac is east of Lowell, but Merrimack is east of Litchfield, yet they're both on the Merrimack River. Score one for New Hamster. And don't forget about Babooic Lake and Ponemah (Amherst things...I once worked on Northern Blvd.)Is the Yard still on Mammoth Road? (By the way, Mammoth Mills kicked Bulding 19's butt...you were very young when Mammoth Mills was there).My friend used to live in Mont Vernon, and his neighbor was as stereotypical a redneck as ever lived...he was very entertaining.
-
Never heard of mammoth mills. As far back as I can remember is when Riches was where building 19 is now. The Yard is still on Mammoth Rd. And don't forget Leominster!

My Texas lawyer friend said that Texas law is very complicated because it was originally set up to be an independent nation. That has something to do with the reason that the governor of Texas doesn't have much power compared to the governors of other states.
