<blockquote type="cite" cite>"Haul off an love me" plays, I
think, on the usually physically active<br>
status of what follows "haul off and" and is what makes
"haul off and love<br>
me" cute since "love me" is, by virture of this
context, given a more<br>
active or "physical" interpretation.<br>

<div>Well, mebbe so, and the "haul off and kiss me" case is
certainly active and physical (without being necessarily all THAT
violent, as others would predict). But here's another
non-physical example, _haul off and marry_, although arguably
again for special effect. This is from a site with various
southern recipes, http://www.zapitalism.com/zap/food.html.<span
></span> It's the Chocolate Gravy & Biscuits one that's
relevant for our purposes, but I couldn't resist including the banana
worm bread. (We do need something to eat so we can wash it down
with all of those drink recipes Barry is always dispensing.)</div>

Chocolate Gravy &
Biscuits</b></div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div><b>I'm a born-n-bred Southerner and had the gall to haul off and
marry a Northerner! I was raised on chocolate gravy and biscuits
which is my most favorite food of all time. This stuff is the
greatest! My husband won't even stay in the house when I make it or
eat it though!</b></div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div><b>Biscuits: 1 or 2 cans of "whop" biscuits (these are
the ones that come in the little tube at the store and you have to
"whop" them on the counter to open the tube.) Bake as
directed.</b></div>
<div><b><br>
Chocolate Gravy<br>
3 tablespoons of flour<br>
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder<br>
4 tablespoons of granulated sugar<br>
2 cups of milk<br>
2 tablespoons of butter<br>
1 teaspoon of vanilla</b><br>
<b></b></div>
<div><b> Mix dry ingredients in shallow
pan on stovetop until they're completely combined. Add milk and stir.
Cook on medium to medium high heat until it bubbles and thickens. Add
butter and vanilla. Stir. Chunk up biscuits and pour chocolate gravy
over the top. Enjoy!</b></div>
<div><b><br>
Oh....and you'll need a bucket....if
you like it as much as I do, then you'll eat till you explode!!!<br>
