Y'all crazier than a rabid squirrel!
To answer the original question: the article is explicitly humorous whike also using the correct language for the topic. It's meant to be "harder to read" as a way to add a layer of wordplay.
- throwanem 10y agoIt also, for those familiar with the semiotics of American English dialects, subtly invokes the "Hold my beer - hey, y'all, watch this!" stereotype of rednecks.
- chiph 10y agoIt's what makes Huntsville Alabama so entertaining. Equal parts rocket scientists and rednecks. "I wonder what would happen if I ran my small-block Chevy on some hydrazine? Because Nitrous injection is for wimps." (Hydrazine is highly toxic and dangerously unstable unless handled in solution.)
