    If you don’t think Kentucky is part of the south then don’t drink bourbon and don’t come to the derby.

    YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE THINK CHACOS ARE A GOOD IDEA?????? REALLY???? REALLY?? JUST REALLY??
    Chacos are a brilliant idea, especially for places like the South where there is little snow/cold and mountains to hike. You, sir, have just made a mockery of us all.

    P.S. Chacos are all the rage in Tennessee and Georgia, both of which are in what you consider the South. Boom, lawyered.

      Not sure how “boom, lawyered” made its way into this post seeing how absolutely nothing even hints at an intelligent argument.

      P.S. Even though Chaco’s are popular in the South, don’t ever say “all the rage” again.
