You know you're from...

North Carolina if...
* Saying "y'all" isn't just a cute expression; it actually means something.
* You still see Dale Earndheart tributes on cars.
* Your annual church fundraiser always deals with bbq and potato salad.
* You can tell the difference between cotton fields and tobacco fields while driving.
* You know the difference between a "redneck" and a "hick".
* You own at least one surf shop or seafood restaurant tee-shirt.
* The Coca-Cola 600 is as big as the Super Bowl.

* In summer you have home-grown tomatoes with every meal.
* Your folks have taken trips to the mountains to look at leaves.
* Your school classes were cancelled because of a hurricane (Hey, it was Hugo!).
* You have actually uttered the phrase "It's too hot to go to the pool."

South Carolina if...
* You think sweet tea is appropriate for all meals, and you start drinking it when you're two (or younger).
* You know there is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 of more, except for Orangeburg which has Dairy-O.

* "Vacation" means going to Myrtle Beach.
* You've taken a road trip to South of the Border - and it wasn't Mexico.
* You buy your groceries at Winn-Dixie.


Georgia if...
* When a waitress asks what you want to drink and you say Coke, she asks "What kind?"
* You call Atlanta "The City."
* You know the one way to be killed in .5 seconds is to talk about somebody's mama or talk bad to somebody's mama.
* Krispy Kreme donuts are the only kind of donuts you eat.
* You know what a 'dawg' is.
* The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."
* Your whole town completely shuts down for 1 inch of snow or just the threat of snow.

These are for Barrett...
You know you're from VIRGINIA if...

Speed limits are just suggestions.

When people ask where you're from, you tell them DC because its easier to explain.

It's not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you.

You know yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through. A red light means 2 more can.

You actually know what the black boxes at stoplights are for.

Despite the fact that Virginia fought for the south in the Civil War, you are not, under any circumstances, a "southerner."

You took a field trip to Williamsburg as a kid.

If you stay on the same road long enough, it will eventually have three new names.

You have never been served tea without the waitress asking "sweet or unsweetened?"

Your favorite past time is telling West Virginia jokes.

Anyone who can't trace his or her ancestry back to at least four generations in Virginia is an outsider.

If you went to Old Salem, the Asheville Zoo, or the Biltmore House on a field trip.

If you believe Mountain Dew is a poor man's Sun Drop.
