    I understand that about living there, but not being from there. My Dad has lived in the same house since '67 and if you talk to any of the people that were born and raised in that area of Arkansas, they will be sure and tell you that "He ain't from around here". Truth be known, He was born and raised around Homerville, Ga. before spending 21 years in Uncle Sam's yacht club.

    This is commonly known in these parts as the "kittens in the oven" syndrome. Saxon has referred to just this phenomenon on this site. In other words, "just because the cat had kittens in the oven don't mean they're biscuits."
