AdamSmith Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So I am always the last to know, it seems. http://ragemaker.net/ is the site that lets you (or your grandmother, or anyone ) generate cartoons like the one below that I discovered & posted a while back. Should you be of such mind. lookin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MsGuy Posted September 30, 2014 Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 This is so cool. I've noticed that a lot of Derp cartoons were floating around on the net. This kind of explains why. Thanks for posting this, AS. AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted September 30, 2014 Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Should that be trembling in fear? Just curious. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Should that be trembling in fear? Doesn't quite capture my existential dread of certain preparations likely being made even now... ...somewhere on that Natchez Trace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted September 30, 2014 Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yes, MsGuy is to be feared, etc. I would love to hear how our posters pronounce Natchez. Best regards, RA1 AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 From my Cajun ex & in-laws, I learned not to even hazard a guess on pronunciation of place names in either Louisiana or Mississippi without waiting to hear them say it first. Natchez was one of many such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MsGuy Posted September 30, 2014 Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nat chess...emphasis on the first syllable. AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not sylLABle. In fact those Cajuns taught me at least 3 useful things: how to say Biloxi and Natchez (have no idea why it came up), and how to make gumbo. Oh, and to always suck the good stuff out of crawfish heads. lookin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamSmith Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 They also taught that one should speed across Mississippi as fast as possible if constrained to drive through it on the way to anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted October 1, 2014 Members Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ha, ha. OK, I agree there are many pronunciations. Hereabouts, we seem to prefer Nat chis. Yes, emphasis on the first syllable Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
