[J.D. Mac Aulay, WQ8U]

Since we are on the subject of accents - which relate to BAs because they come through much more clearly on BA rigs then those fancy pants DSP rice box rigs that can make a wimp sound like a real guy.  When I had the pleasure of working in Ft. Worth. TX in the 60's as K4AWW/5, I met some hams at a club meeting who give me directions to an electronics house on "Lubate 20."  Being a Yankee and not wanting to offend I accepted this and spent countless hours to no avail on my city maps looking for "Lubate 20."  Failing to find it, I finally asked again and was told in very slow (if that is possible from basic Texas drawl) that the electronic house was on "Loop 820."  I fouind it then, thank you.

What's in a name?
"Our Nigger"

I live in Harbor Bluffs, Florida about 5 miles from where Terri Schiavo
made the world stage. This is unincorporated Pinellas County. Most homes
were built in the early 1960's and most occupants were retired upper
middle class white people. We do have one black man living here, Jeff J.
who is the nicest person you could want to meet.

Any way we have a person down the road from me who had a fish pond which
he stocked with Koi. The neighbor put up some sort of a hanging plant
arbor and the fish owner got mad that it blocked the sunlight from his
Koi pond. All sorts of law suits evolved to include suing the Owners
Association officers. It got very nasty.

I was at our annual association meeting and while standing outside,
waiting for it to start, several guys were talking about "Our nigger did
this and Our nigger did that. Finally I spoke up and said I did not
think we should be referring to Jeff J as "our nigger!" They looked at
me in amazement and asked who is Jeff J?

It turns out they were talking about the owner of the Koi fish whose
name was Randy Arnegar, from New Jersey. Arnegar was the instigator of
all the law suits. Now try saying "Arnegar" with a southern accent.
