Designing Women S3 E4 - A Little Long on Drywall, And A Little Short On Studs

Cue the wedding bells: Bernice is getting married, and to a local “celebrity” no less. But our gals are preoccupied with other things: they all hate their “wedding costumes”, Suzanne is PMS-ing again, and Julia is stark-raving mad about another news article hatin’ on Southerners.

Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar”, where we play a word association game about Southern traditions.

Extra reads:

• Two options for the infamous New York Times article about Southerners eating dirt - one from 1984 and one from 1986. And then some more recent coverage from NPR.

• Taste of Home article about the Southern tradition of blue porch ceilings.

• A SouthernThing.com article and a WideOpenCountry.com article about the history of the folklore around horseshoes for luck.

• The National Peanut Board’s account of the history of boiled peanuts.

Come on, let’s get into it!
