Fun Stuff:
You've never met any celebrities--other than Fred
Thompson.
"Vacation" means going to the family reunion.
You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still
Summer, and Christmas.
You laugh when people from anywhere north of Tennessee try
to say or spell "y'all."
It's "Knox-vull," not "Knox-ville."
Pigeon Forge is not pronounced with a French accent.
Sales tax is 9.75%.
You shop at Wal-Mart for groceries, not at a grocery store.
You don't drive in Knoxville on game day. EVER.
You can't remember the last time you saw snow.
You know when Elvis Presley Day is.
You know all of the words to "Rocky Top."
You think it's worth it driving to Alabama just to save
1.25% on the sales tax.
You eat "dinner" at noon and "supper" in the evening.
Your Wal-Mart has specific parking spots for horses and
buggies.
You and everyone you know goes to one vacation spot: Panama
City, Florida.
Everyone you know owns a truck, and at least one of those
trucks is just painted with primer or more colors than the
rainbow.
You measure distance in minutes, not miles.
You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same
day.
You use "fix" as a verb. Example: "I'm fixing to go to the
store."
You install security lights on your house and garage and
leave both unlocked.
You own only four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco, and
ketchup.
The local papers cover national and international news on
one page but require six pages for local gossip and sports.
You think that the first day of deer season is a national
holiday.
You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."
You're convinced you don't need driver's ed--your father's
and uncles' pickup trucks were training enough.
There are 5,000 types of snakes, and 4,998 live in
Tennessee.
People actually grow and eat okra.
Backards and forwards means "I know everything about you."
Jeet? is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter
what time it is. You work until you're done or it's too dark
to see.
