Dewey and Frank, I too was raised in NJ. When I got all growed up and could make up my own mind, I moved South. Don't miss the traffic, and ya just have to love these southern belles. Loved 'em so much, I married one. Before long, I think the rest of the family will be moving here to the promiss land.
Buckeye, not sure why they take a product of the South, dip it in chocolate and call it such a thing. I live right in the middle of Peanut country (jimmy carter is less than 45 minutes north of me), and this is where peanut butter is king. Shoot, with all the biscuts and gravey, bacon, peanut butter, deep fried everything, my job is secure for a long time.
Y'all have a good one.

Part of my plan is, "Do you want gritty grits, or a basket of Buckeyes?" From extensive and exahutive experiments, we have found that Sutherners love Buckeyes. It is like putting a jar of honey in front of LAZ's bear. If the Harrisburg crew had put these on the table, and given the choice, the Roseyville Rascal would have had to take all his grits home.
And it that doesn't do it, we bring in General Orville from Brazil, Indiana.

Hey Chief, with a few more such successful raids, perhaps we could get Pennsylvania to capitulate and join the confederacy? I don't think their is any hope for Ohio though. Congratulations Chief and Commander!Dennis

before this gets too far flung and gets innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire, I just want to state that although I am living here in Hillbilly Hell, I was born and raised in New Jersey.
CHIEF - I never had any doubt you would return virtually unscathed by those Yanks. Congratulations on a job well done!
