To test this theory, I've decided to adopt (what I think is) a stereotypical American personality under my alter-ego of Jethro. I will post in that personality to this thread going forward but clearly Jethro will only post if he gets some feedback. Please don't take offence

My dear Ciaran,

It is both admirable and inspiring that you wish to step outside your comfort zone to expand your horizons and possibly seek a paramour. I oft encourage others to do the same. In that spirit I would like to offer the following pointers to Jethro;







Hello y'all. Wrong. Never, ever is hello and ya'll used together. It is "Hey y'all." Y'all doing okay on this fine day? Nice try but a better rendition would be "How's ur momma n'em?"

Many gorgeous femmes (insert whistle) Whoee! Y'all see farmer Johnson's daughters? He sure can grow 'em if ya' know whudda mean. I'ma bout as happy as a pig with a strawberry at being able to come sit a spell with you boys." if you were a femme then insert "Charmed, I'm sure." and sturdy butches here and a privilege and honor to be amongst you almighty good folk. Quite a pretty picture.

Hoping to meet some pretty fine women, and some not so fine too would be good. This actually goes without saying so I will leave it be.

Jethro

you forgot to offer a pinch of Skoal and pat the coondog on the head

Katniss~~(realize this is for the Southern U.S. regions. I have no idea what the Yankees do except start off with a "youse guys wanna'" or some such nonesense.)
