This was my favorite one:

"Fred VanVleet, 5'11" senior guard, Wichita State: "I hear he's been working out great, but I don't see him making the league. What does he do? He couldn't hold Cat Barber's jock, and Cat's probably going to be middle second round. He's so small, not a great athlete, struggled getting places in pick and roll. I think he goes undrafted.""

<Paul Lamm voice>Uh-uh, now, Cat Barber...</PLv>

the only UK kid I think it going to make an impact is Murray. I'm not even sure Poythress enjoys playing competitive basketball. Skal is a 7 footer who wants to shoot jump shots from 15 foot.

I wish you were standing in the back draft of a house fire...

I like how you used "15 foot" instead of "feet" there to remain true to your hillbilly upbringing. eCat keepin it real!

I think we're all indebted to Gabby eCat, for clearly stating what needed to be saaid. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age...

my mom is visiting me this week and my wife complains that whenever I get around my family I turn back into a hillbilly.

I get louder and start talking out the side of my mouth which results in that Appalachian slur

I can only imagine what that sounded like when you had the Bell's palsey...

I said "eastern NC" which is a whole different special kind of country than these fancy-pants hilljacks.

I taught school with a girl from Hertford in Perquimmins County in eastern NC.... she talked normal.

Stu is overstating the case. There are pockets of marble-mouth idiots around here that you practically need a translator to decipher, but I'm sure there's no shortage of those type anywhere in appalachia or elsewhere in Kentucky, Tennessee or anywhere else in the south. It's actually like a deep scottich brogue, of which it is an amalgomation...

In light of that, this kinda reminded me of eCat:
