Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

6.) HARD peanuts? explain

11.) Well, I'd argue that the Redneck Riviera goes from Gulf Shores thru Panama City

20.) HA! The recipe ... I remembered it was moonshine, but I forgot they used to call it that

32.) This one ALWAYS gets me, no matter how many times I hear it!

33.) "shade trees" are an acceptable alternate southernism
