Howdy, yal'l!
I's jes readin this 'ere post, and I's a-crossed and sore at that ol' houn' dog. Ya see, I should-a dang-well thought-a that muhself an been savin' myself a lossa trouble. This the deal: jes bout a year ago, I was a fightin Texes Aggie who done right by this institutien an' earning ma degree. And armed with such a positien, I's a goin to look for ma carear. So there I go, a-meetin' with the nice folks down at the sanitation department for a job. Well, as all you former Aggies know, the sanitation department jes full a Aggie grads, jes like me, so I thanks to muhself, "heck, Howdy. If'n they's all Aggies, you shore ain't a need no French-sounded 'resume'" Jes shows em ya dang ring. It bein the finest exampulary symbolism of the power and pride a Aggie-land. Well, I done stroll in there and showed em my ring and tole em that I earned it more than most people seein as how I spent 8 years to get it. I'll wrap on up this story to say, I aint got tha job, no way, no how. And thas AFTER I done showed em my ring, just like this fine feller on ebay says I coulda. So I was a bitter ana angry and I chucked the derned thing into the treatment pool. I knows, I knows, it was a terrible degradin and wrong thang ta a done, but I's a got a temper worse 'en a big bull sheep thas been awoke in the middle of a cold night. Tha dern point, if I's a suppose there otter be, is I din git a gol dang nickel for my ring, but i done lost it jes the same. I's been ashamed and unemployed since. And the worst part is tha whole Aggie fightin nation done turn aginst me. See, I come to find out, the sewer boys a-happen to see me chuck ma rang into grime, and derned if they ain't connected up upon high with the Ring Office, who done put on they's scuba gear an fishin out ma rang from the gunk, tracken me down with they high technology surveillance technology and posted my name on another board. Morel of a this story is simple an it's a plain: if you dare disrespectful of the sacred ring you done earned with hard-earned workin' and even if a your real mad about the mythicalical powers a this ring bein just a bunch of hogwash, don throws it into no sewers - thas the first place they's gonna look. At leas' on ebay you get yesself some moneys. WHOOOUP!
