Subject: Fixing to carry you



In fact I am fixing to flat out haul off and carry you to Louisville is fully

grammatical.

How in the hell else could you say it? (with all those subtleties)

Di[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]nIs

preston[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]pilot.msu.edu

It means something like this:

I am about to with no compunction or hesitation and with gusto and/or

directness transport you by vehicle to Louisville.

Any other native speakers got any better translations for the South and South

Midlands handicapped?
