For the record, I live nowhere near Punxsutawney, and we in eastern PA think those in the west are a little screwy.

For insance, in Philly to ask either an individual or a group of people of their current condition, we would ask "How youse doin'?" (figureing that 'youse' is plural for 'you' - just add an s).

Down south they may ask "How y'all doin'?" or in Texas, "How y'all are?"  But 'y'all' is a contraction for 'you all' and makes linguistic sense.

In Pittsburgh they ask "How yuntz?"

Huh?

Eastern PA people just don't appreciate the complexity of meteorology via marmot. You guys's schools must be terrible.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get some pop from the fridge then run the sweeper before I red the table. And pierogies for dinner! Whoo!

Actually, where I am, it's getting all great and sunny for the beginning of our new semester.  It makes me drive fast and smile a lot, and I don't even like the sun.  I feel quite manipulated.

What he said was:

Pierogies are ravioli-like potato dumplings filled with meat or other things that Polish people like to eat.  Not collards.  Someone needs to brush up on their Yankee.

Not that there's anything wrong with collards, especially if you cook them with enough ham, bacon or other salty pork product.  However, no okra please.

Hey, apparently that groundhog is only right 44% of the time.

Severe depression makes for a great song, but's not a good way to go through life.

I don't know if you're depressed Andalucia, but obviously the protaganist of the above quoted song is.

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good Day Sunshine

I think JL was simply inserting a regional southern dish in place of a regional northern dish.

Exactly.  

As if I wouldn't know what Pierogies are.  My maiden name had three "K"s and ended in "ski," and we ordered 100 lbs of kielbasa for my wedding.
