Alright, this has been bugging me for years, so I am just going to come out and ask: What the HELL is the origin of "fixin' ta", as in "I'm a fixin' ta boil me up some taters? I don't mean to insult anybody's heritage here, but Jesus Christ how does something like that manage to slither it's way into the vernacular of roughly 20% of this country? Do you know how hard it is to walk somebody through a software upgrade over the phone when you are constantly deluged with such nuggets as "I'm fixin ta reboot as soon as i find me that Control - Alternator - Delete button."?
On a lighter note, I have spent the last few days immersed in Bon Scott Era AC/DC, most notably 1977's "Let There Be Rock". Is there a riff out there better than "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be"?
If you think you have one, let me know so I can tell ya you're WRONG!!!!!
Please forgive the attitude, I tend to get a little cranky around my birthday.
